New Episode of Talking Drupal Explores "Contrib First" Approach

Staff Reporter

The latest episode of Talking Drupal (#490) explores the benefits of a Contribution-First approach to Drupal development. Guest Steve Wirt joins hosts John Picozzi, Nic Laflin, and guest host Avi Schwab, to discuss how companies can integrate contributions into their workflows and why this strengthens the Drupal community.

Key topics include explaining the Contrib First model to non-technical stakeholders, overcoming client scepticism, and strategies for building confidence in developers. The episode also covers practical steps for companies looking to get started and essential tools to support the process.

This week's Module of the Week is Config Importer & Tools by Andrii Podanenko which simplifies configuration management by allowing developers to import individual changes from contrib and custom modules while keeping settings synchronized across environments.

Whether you're a developer, business leader, or Drupal enthusiast, this episode provides valuable insights on making open-source contributions a key part of your Drupal strategy.
