To what degree are Drupal community members who become Acquia employees able to maintain their independence?
We’ve already described how Dries is able to continue to lead the community in the direction it seeks to go. As we hire other Drupal community members for various roles, their daily activities are generally devoted to meeting Acquia’s business needs. However, any code we contribute, or any activities we perform, need to pass muster with the community in the same way any other community member’s activities must be acceptable. We believe the Drupal community is healthy enough to be self-correcting.
