Wrestling giants: How can free open source CMSes remain competitive with enterprise clients?
Adobe spends around USD$2.7bn annually on product development, sales and marketing for its Experience Cloud product suite. In comparison, Drupal has historically had no centralised product management or marketing, let alone ANY coordinated budget! This talk will look at the challenges Drupal is facing now that it competes head to head with proprietary giants like Adobe in the enterprise sector. From the perspective of his role on the Drupal Association board, Owen will discuss the strategies and initiatives the Drupal community is starting to put in place to remain competitive and how these approaches can be shared by other open source projects.

''In the open-source world, money can be a big challenge. It often leads to projects struggling to find a good way to make money, and sadly, some great projects end up failing because they run out of resources. That's where this session comes in:

• I'm going to break down the problems of getting money for free software and talk about the main ways these projects get funded.
• I'll introduce you to something called the "Five for the Future" initiative. Since 2014, it's been a game-changer for the WordPress project, helping it grow and succeed more every day.

Attendees at the presentation will gain insights into the financial support mechanisms behind this open-source CMS. The goal is to equip them with the knowledge to extend this initiative to benefit other free software projects.''
