We've been pretty busy in the 11 weeks since Drupal 6's End-of-Life on February 24th.
Really, CRAZY busy, in fact!
We're currently responsible for providing Drupal 6 Long-Term Support for 424 sites in total!
For some of our bigger clients with large numbers of sites on a single code-base or those subject to regulation (for example, governments and universities) we had to compromise on not providing "security updates only" service - but some protection is certainly better than no protection.
Going through the sales process (which includes performing an in-depth site audit), on-boarding process and subsequently supporting and maintaining 424 sites in only 11 weeks has been enormously challenging for a small company like ours - but also an amazing learning experience.
Things are finally slowing a bit with regard to Drupal 6 LTS, we're heading out to DrupalCon New Orleans next week, and starting to look at the next phase for our business.
This feels like a good time to stop and reflect on the things we've learned from our experience with providing Drupal 6 LTS: what worked, what didn't and what we can improve for the future!
This isn't a marketing post (unlike most of our posts recently - sorry!) but a look Behind the Veil at our growing startup, what we do and why we do it. And it's about time! The last one I did was back in June, explaining why we we're launching myDropWizard.
So, if you're still interested in my meandering reflections, please read on!
