Drawing from his role on the Drupal Association board, Lansbury discussed the strategies and initiatives the Drupal community has put forth to stay competitive. He emphasized the absence of centralized product management and marketing, contrasting with substantial budgets allocated by proprietary counterparts like Adobe.
