@fgm@rodricels this reflection interests me a lot, at what point does the event and association exist merely to support the association and the event rather than to support the project mission.
We're currently having issues with the #Drupal community instance, as reported by some users, the ingress and pull processes have been lagging during the weekend.
We've restarted the services and it is slowly coming back to normal but we have this issue too often now to ignore it.
We believe after looking to it for a bit with the help of NITEMAN (https://www.drupal.org/u/niteman) that the bottleneck could be PostgreSQL, for the time being we've increased the memory but I think we will need more actions
I'm not sure why folks in the #Drupal community are confused about how regular people and small organizations are finding the product hard to use after years and years and years of Dries pushing the project to be "enterprise-level".
Maybe instead of #StarShot, we should call it #DrupalTimeMachine where we try to correct the gigantic mistakes that we made in the past.
@jurgenhaas@mikemccaffrey I'm sorry I don't have the source bookmarked and indexed for easy retrieval, but I distinctly remember communication about upgrading from Drupal 7 that suggested moving to something other than Drupal for simple sites.
It was because it was "official" that it was memorable.
It was around the same time as the "Drupal is for ambitious websites" slogan, which further reinforced that Drupal isn't for simple sites.
@DaleTrexel@mikemccaffrey I do remember that as well, but such that it was a community initiative who did that, not one of they individuals or bodies mentioned above.
