Large Scale Drupal (LSD)

Acquia launched the Large Scale Drupal membership program to help and enable large organizations to get the most value from open source software. Large Scale Drupal (LSD) is a strategic alliance of organizations that meet regularly to collaborate on and solve common problems. Acquia provide a forum for enterprise users, listen to and prioritize their needs, and then figure out how to address those needs through knowledge sharing, training, and software development. Large Scale Drupal members share their development costs with other members. For a fraction of the cost of developing independently, they get significantly better software built by some of the most talented people in the community. In turn, the Drupal community continues to develop and improve the solution, and welcomes an influx of expert talent into the contributor pool. Acquia are also making strategic, long term investments in the platform. A portion of member fees go to our "future fund," which we are currently using to support three vital Drupal 8 initiatives (these are being led by the community, not LSD).

This funding will accelerate the development process, helping to speed up release cycles for future versions of the platform, and ultimately increasing the pace of innovation.
