In the next couple of weeks we'll be launching a new sponsorship opportunity for Drupal Supporters on the homepage of Drupal.org.  The following is background information and a proposal for the program.  We would like a period of public community feedback. Feedback is open until the 6th of July. At that time, we will incorporate the feedback into the sponsorship program plan.

One of the Drupal Association's primary missions is to grow the adoption of Drupal.  We are about to launch a new program on April 15th called Try Drupal.  The program will make it easy and fast for evaluators to try Drupal and have a simple, great experience while on Drupal.org.

I was hired by the Drupal Association in October 2014 to develop a new revenue stream from advertising on Drupal.org. For some time we’ve been trying to diversify revenue streams away from DrupalCon, both to make the Association more sustainable and to ensure that DrupalCons can serve community needs, not just our funding needs. We’ve introduced the Drupal Jobs program already and now, after conversations with the community, we want to put more work into Drupal.org advertising initiatives.
