Request for Sponsors: Automatic Updates Initiative Phase 2

The Drupal Association is seeking partners to help us advance the next phase of the Automatic Updates initiative.

The first phase of this work was generously sponsored by the European Commission, and supported by other partners including: Acquia, Tag1Consulting, Mtech, and Pantheon.

In this first phase, we accomplished a great deal:

• Display of security PSAs directly in Drupal's admin interface
• Automated readiness checks, to ensure that a site is prepared for updates
• Automatic updates for Drupal Core in both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8.

But while this work laid the foundation, a great deal of work yet remains. The next phase hopes to add support for:

• Sites managed using Composer
• Automatic updates with Contributed modules
• A front-end controller providing support for easy roll-back

The Drupal Association needs partners in order to move this work forward. We're looking both for organizations who can provide financial support, and teams who have expert developers who can contribute to development.

If you are interested, you can find a detailed scope of the remaining work attached to this post.
