    #241 - Tiffany Farriss on Drupal Funding, Community, and a Shared Journey With WordPress
    2026/11/11
    Tiffany Farriss joined the podcast to talk about the sustainability issues affecting open source communities, drawing from her experience with the Drupal Association. Tiffany is currently the interim CEO of the Drupal Association, and is the organisation’s longest-serving board member after Drupal’s founder, Dries Buytaert. We examine how a small group of contributors often carry the bulk of financial and development responsibilities, while many users benefit without supporting the ecosystem. Tiffany outlined efforts to make these hidden costs transparent and to promote a utility-based funding model instead of relying on charity. We also covered Drupal's new certification program to publicly recognise meaningful contributions, as well as the increasing role of government procurement and cross-community collaboration in ensuring the resilience of open source projects.

The discussion explored the gap between high concern and limited preventative action, like recovery plans and team training. We also addressed escalating threats, particularly with new AI tools, while many sites, especially smaller ones, remain underprepared. We round it up with a call for improved prevention, monitoring, and recovery strategies in the WordPress ecosystem.
