At DrupalCon Vienna Matt Glaman of Acquia and Mike Herchel of Dripyard talked about how to get contributions from the initial idea stage, and bring them to fruition.
The best contributions often start from finding something that annoys you, and asking “why is it like this?”
Matt and Mike talk about finding things that can be fixed, pitching to stakeholders, assembling a team, actually doing the work, communicating your needs, and getting your idea over the finish line.
One important thing I took from it was that you don’t have to work alone, which is something I tend to do a lot.
I liked the way that instead of a conventional question and answer session, they asked people to pitch ideas they would like to contribute.
