+1 to Ending comment-to-subscribe on Drupal.org

As starving authors we at Agaric don't have a lot of cash to burn right now, but we've thrown $25 in the project to make it possible to subscribe to drupal.org issues without commenting. (On top of whatever we donated when this request for funding went out a year and a half ago).

Drupal Work Collectives

Agaric proposes the creation of a new kind of workplace, essentially a Drupal commune, but really more like an open source free software idea & brainstorming commune, kind of along the same lines as an artist's or writer's colony.

The Story on Agaric

I've always had a passion for good design and healthy coding, even back in the days of owning a web site cart in downtown Natick. Back then, my business partner and I made all natural HTML roll-up web sites and, as an incentive for customers to wait in line, we baked Drupal into different flavored designs.

The National Institute for Children’s Health Quality (NICHQ) delivers a steady stream of demonstrated best practices to help children and their families thrive. Many of these findings come out of the work of NICHQ’s varied collaborative improvement initiatives, in which clinical, research, and community-based teams come together around targeted improvements (e.g., strengthening maternity care services in hospitals) or introducing broad systems-level change (e.g., coordinating early childhood systems).

Diagram of the Digital Commons.

We live amidst a Digital Commons - technology that is built with the principles of freedom and transparency baked into its code and design. It's maintained out in the open by the free software community. This commons is invisible to many of us, but the closer we are to the technology we use, the more that it comes into focus. At Agaric we are knee deep in this Digital Commons. Our name Agaric is a nod to the mycelial nature of the open web. We help create, maintain, and promote free and open-source software that make up this commons.
