How to Win Drupal Friends and Influence Executives

We can’t all be module builders, but we can help grow the Drupal community. No matter the size of the project, Drupal’s adoption inevitably starts with a single advocate or small group of evangelists that make Drupal’s case to a company hierarchy or local community.

Drupal’s growth and momentum depends on more than just great code. It has to win the Dog and Pony Shows inside boardrooms. It needs local faces (instead of screen names) getting together in person. It requires energy and effort and good old-fashioned networking. Whether it is answering the “can it scale?” question for the 50th time, begging for presenters at a monthly meetup or simply teaching people how to pronounce “Drupal,” being a booster requires patience and skill.
