 The Drupal Association basically tries to make Drupal awesome. When you are a member of the Drupal Association, you're helping make that happen in a few key ways. First of all, there's the funding that you provide, your membership dollars, and that goes toward really fundamental things like paying for the servers, paying for the staff that keep Drupal.org up and running. When you go to Drupal.org, you expect it to be there. When you go to download Drupal, you expect it to be there. Also, as a community member, you are supporting your fellow Drupal community folks. Grants for the community members so they can grow new programs around the world, and also Drupal kind of scholarships. The Drupal Association is looking after the interests of our community, making sure that we can hold big events like this, making sure that we can professionalize our marketing as a community, and make sure that the platform reaches the potential that it's got. I think people just see a membership as a simple way to make all those great things happen. And if you haven't had a chance to become a Drupal Association member yet, do that, support that work, keep Drupal.org running, make sure that we're able to bring people together around the world and continue to grow the project. And $30 is not very much, an easy ask for a lot of people, and all of that money, it's kind of like the concept of Drupal. All these drops come together to create a bigger ocean. So if you're a member, would you stand up? People become members because there's something that they want to give back. There's a number of reasons to consider sponsoring one. It's just the right thing to do. If you use Drupal, you should consider giving back to the project. Those guys, awesome job, way to represent Drupal. Hey Portland! Everybody say Drupal!
