Session Description: 

SESSION OVERVIEW
Six years ago Drupal was a community of hackers toying with cutting edge technologies and social innovation. We weren’t trying to make a living off of Drupal. Most didn’t even think it was possible. And now we find ourselves intertwined with a corporate ecosystem, adding layers of complexity previously unheard of. How does the business sector find the best Drupal talent on the market? Once hired, how do they sustain it? Developers, how do you evolve your late night hackfests into a sustainable day job that still keeps you connected with the community and working on the Drupal you do?
