Today y'all helped me finally realize that's just been a story that I've been telling myself... Other people want to help me just as much as I want to help others. A huge hole in my heart is healing today. Thank you so much.

I've actually been crying since I got off the call. All my life, I measured my worth by what I could do for others; I try not to ask for help so that people won't think I'm a burden and not have me around anymore.

I'm very hard on myself and try to do things "perfectly". I almost bilked out of fear + my anxiety until I remembered that y'all are my #drupal community. Seeing your kind faces and hearing your encouragement uplifted me. Thank you for showing me grace and fellowship. 💜

Thank you so much to the

@BADCamp

community for having me at the SFDUG meetup tonight! I was very nervous, and some parts of my talk still need work, but everyone was very willing to give suggestions and help me to improve it!

Been asked to give a 2 hour seminar on accessibility…but they don’t want to pay me. To do that I’d have to book a day off work, spend hours working on slides, prepare my notes etc So that 2 hours is 24 hours of work over a few days. So no I will not be doing that for free.

I support a variety of small and medium nonprofit sites and some years back began the process of migrating to D8+. I found that it wasn't working for most of them due to unnecessary complexity and increased costs. I have since discovered #BackdropCMS and love it.

This is something we need to consider as well. In the Drupal ecosystem, to my knowledge all of our modules are provided free of charge. If we make the barrier to entry for providing one's time and services for free higher, what's the impact? How much innovation is lost? :(

Just how dejected have the module maintainers become? drupal.org/project/slider do not even care if it works for D9. I understand them. I have a great D9 module. But just uploading it to D-org is so much red tape and hassle, I don't bother.

I love that

@herbdool

is helping clients to make decisions based on their needs first and foremost. The open source ecosystem needs more of that! And IMO pairing expertise and recommendations like this a pretty solid business model.

I'm migrating some client sites to D9, some to Backdrop. We make recommendations to clients based on their budgets and site complexity, but ultimately their decision. One client decided on D9. Should have switched to Backdrop or WordPress. Handful are switching to none of above

At any rate it's not a lot but after learning about Backdrop in Asheville three years ago I'm moving my fourth D7 site to it. The last migration if you call it that was basically done in less than a day. It's pretty much ready to go should I decide to flip the switch.

There are a lot of reasons people have given as justification for why they haven't, can't, and won't migrate from D7. Check out the comments! Pretty insightful.

IMHO, if you're running a D7 site on core and contributed modules, the opportunity to rebuild a modern D9 site is a leap forward in excess of 6 years that is probably analogous to Mountain Lion to Monterey or Vista to 11. How can you justify NOT doing it? #BiteTheBullet

Replying to

and

If a site has a fair amount of custom code/functionality or more there is a huge amount of effort required. I recently upgraded a highly functional site from D8 to 9 and even that required a lot of effort. That is what I finding from people I talk to.

Replying to

Without getting into specifics in public, it's kind of an "all of it" scenario. Every change adds up to significant cost (dollars and effort) and it feels like rebuilding a site from the ground up.

Drupal has lost some of their mom and pop users after the "composer" requirements for install on the latest drupal versions. Not all users had/have shell access!

One of those D7 sites is Drupal.org. Upgrading D.O has to be a monumental effort involving hundreds or thousands of volunteers. Upgrading a single, complicated and large D7 site for a single person or small team can feel just as overwhelming.

D8+ is right for some of my clients, but not for all of them. I'm a big advocate for #BackdropCMS as an alternative for some sites. Right now migrating two D7 sites, one to D9 and one to Backdrop. For some simple sites, clients are waiting until the last minute.

Higher Ed. One man, 11 D7 sites. D8 decimated the Drupal community at the University. Utter contempt for the "non professional Drupal community". Just the tip of the iceberg

Simple: the cost. A D7 upgrade to 9 is basically a rebuild. So the client needs to have the budget to pay for the migration. It’s not only up to the developers.

Drupal 7 to 8 wasn’t a migration, it was a complete rebuild. For some: end of life’s already been extended once, so it may happen again. For others: once it’s a complete rebuild all the other non Drupal alternatives come into play. Either way it takes time & $.

If organizations believe in disability inclusion, they need to look at the bigger picture of workplace inclusion, not just digital accessibility. Look at your sick time plan, work location requirements, office space accessibility, language, etc.
