Membershp Matters imageToday we’re kicking off a six week-long membership drive that we’re calling “Membership Matters.” We’ve named it such because we want to highlight the real human impact Drupal has around the world, and how the Drupal Association works hard to amplify that impact.

On our membership drive landing page, you will see quotes from various community members about why they are members of the Drupal Association. We will periodically rotate in new people and quotes that demonstrate how Drupal and the Drupal Association are making a difference. You can also see our new video “Membership Matters,” on the page, which was shot by the Blink Reaction team at DrupalCon Portland. We hope you like it!

You’ve probably heard us say it before but it’s worth repeating. Membership dues help to pay for:

  • Community grants and scholarships
  • Hosting, maintenance, and upgrades for Drupal.org, our community home
  • Programs for Drupal businesses
  • Marketing of Drupal

Also on the landing page you will find buttons that will take you to the membership sign up where you can become a member for as little as $15/€15 per year. We strongly believe anyone who wants to contribute should be able to do so and we have introduced a slider that allows you to choose your level of support. (Note, in order to reach the membership form, you need to sign in using your Drupal.org profile).

The “Membership Matters” drive will last through October. In addition to the usual benefits, anyone who becomes a member during the drive will get a cool printable PDF member certificate with your name. You can print it and hang it above your desk and proudly show your support!

If you are already a member: thank you! If not, we hope you will consider it. You can make a difference!
