Trending tags for cats have a cat head shape

@antiorario what would I do with my tattoo then.

@pcambra 🤢

Developers are so vital for the #drupal association that there isn’t a single one in the board of directors 🙃

@pcambra @jpoesen Just ran through that issue again, I kind of forgot about it and now I'm angry again after revisiting it. I don't understand how it's appropriate for contrib modules to now decide it's OK to insert spam into the databases of our sites.

@jeni @jpoesen I'm not sure anymore https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce/issues/3415193#comment-15485106

@pcambra

"Drupal Commerce modules occasionally link to offers from technology partners in
contextually relevant portions of the administrative interface. "

Is that even allowed?

If this becomes wide-spread Drupal sites are going to look like Wordpress sites before long...

As an agency I can see a client calling me because they're now ads showing on their site 😂

According to this comment https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce/issues/3415193#comment-15485106 there might be additional variables you might want to turn off?

$settings['commerce_dashboard_show_toolbar_link'] = FALSE;
$settings['commerce_dashboard_fetch_inbox_messages'] = FALSE;

"Drupal Commerce modules occasionally link to offers from technology partners in
contextually relevant portions of the administrative interface. To simplify
disabling these, the project has established a pattern of all such banners
respecting a setting you can set in your site's settings.php"

$settings['commerce_show_partner_banners'] = FALSE;

Seems #Drupal Commerce is now showing ads on the backend for Drupal sites/developers ❓

Anyway at least they documented how to not display them in the release notes: https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce/releases/8.x-2.38

@antiorario we’re next

@bsnodgrass @drupalassoc I don't know if there's record of the webinar or if the Q&A will be made public.

@pcambra @drupalassoc https://drupal.community/@hestenet@mastodon.social

Is the webinar link available somewhere?

On that url https://www.drupal.org/association/blog/turning-takers-into-makers-the-enhanced-drupal-certified-partner-program

"A webinar is planned for March to review the new Drupal Certified Partner program.

If you would like to learn more, please register for our upcoming webinar on 5 March 2024 hosted by myself and Kelly Delaney, our Director of Development..."

@pcambra @liberatr thanks, I knew I was missing something.

@liberatr @bsnodgrass not really, more on here https://drupal.community/@pcambra/111929240606434682

@pcambra @ultimike @hestenet what am I missing here? Is there a “certified partners” thing? The post referenced by @pcambra just mentioned Association members…

@ultimike @hestenet we are, but we will stop being so. The change to the new "certified partners" model implies that everyone that doesn't pay is a taker (or not a maker), the community tier disappears and marketplace will show only paying companies and as a small company we just can't justify a 5x increase in our budget for this.

Additionally, there's no clarity on where the data/numbers come from to reach the tiers that are planned and everything on this decision making has been opaque.

@pcambra @mortendk or Silverstein's beard...

My beard grows down to my toes,
I never wears no clothes,
I wraps my hair
Around my bare,
And down the road I goes

@kreynen @mortendk that's a new take on Occam's razor

@pcambra @mortendk

"If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold." - Andrew Lewis from 2010 (summarizing Richard Serra from 1973)

We need a variation on that quote addressing FOSS, open core & public goods, but the decision to sell content & activity of 6mil wordpress.com sites for AI training should remind anyone using a service for free (or too cheap to cover costs) offered by a FOR-PROFIT entity required to eventually profit from everything they do

@YesCT we were organising the next Spanish camp in an open trello board, not sure if we will move to drupal.org issues, to a GitHub board..? Idk 🤦🏻

@mortendk Yeah when everything is changing pricing models all the time, it gets frustrating, we should all host our own open source alternatives 😡

@pcambra were soon back to the days of ok fuck it im just gonna build this tool myself

@pcambra What are you thinking? Replace with a spreadsheet? Other system?

Oh well "Free Trello Workspaces will be limited to 10 collaborators starting April 8, 2024"
