We're sponsoring the Configuration Management Initiative for Drupal 8!

Parent Feed: 

Following Greg Dunlap's (heyrocker) call for sponsorship funds at DrupalCon Munich, we at Annertech decided to do what we can to help.

Greg is the initiative lead on the Configuration Management Initiative (CMI), which is aiming to introduce a new configuration management system in Drupal 8. With CMI, configuration in Drupal will no longer be held in various tables in the database, but rather in YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) based configuration files. This will make it easier to do code driven development, and hopefully eliminate the need to use the Features module or write custom update hooks in order to deploy configuration changes.

CMI is something that Annertechies are eagerly awaiting and really want to see happen in Drupal 8. However, there is a long way to go before this dream will become a reality. As a small organisation, there is not much we can contribute in terms of developer time, however, we are committed to do what we can to help make this happen. So I'm delighted to announce, that Annertech will be sponsoring Greg for his work on the Configuration Management Initiative.

If you would like to help or get involved, please visit http://drupal8cmi.org.

Is there anything we can help you with?
