During an Innovation Initiative Meeting on June 25th, 2024, we discussed steps for moving forward with the Innovation Hub proposal for Drupal.org. Participants included Gus Austin (gusaus), Tim Lehnen (hestenet), and Ricardo Marcelino (rfmarcelino). Key points discussed:
Project Dependencies and Timing:
- Tim noted that progress on the Innovation Hub may be delayed until the initial stages of the Drupal 10 (D10) upgrade on Drupal.org are complete, as that upgrade currently has top priority. However, he suggested that developing the Innovation Hub as a set of custom modules on a generic D10 site could allow for a “jump start” and potential evaluation for later integration into Drupal.org.
- Gus acknowledged the delay but suggested that the team could advance the project independently of the Drupal Association’s involvement, particularly if there’s an approved plan and funding.
Funding Mechanism:
Open Collective integration is already a dependency of the Innovation Hub. Tim mentioned that CFO approval would be required to use Open Collective (OC) as the mechanism for the funding portion of the hub. Gus requested clarification on this point, as it wasn’t immediately clear why CFO approval would be necessary for using OC via the Open Collective module.
Next Steps:
- Gus proposed that the team seek Innovation Working Group (IWG) approval on the hub concept as a next step.
- Tim agreed, noting that once IWG and CFO approvals are in place, the team could move forward on the specific goals and funding pathways.
- Ricardo suggested focusing first on validating the initial work completed, as iterations on code are time-intensive.
