Hi BizzFed. I'm Jürgen. I got into IT in 1989 by writing software documentation, before I owned a computer. I never stopped writing. At LakeDrops, a small Drupal agency, I maintain ECA, a workflow engine on more than 25,000 websites. Since July 2025 almost all my working time has gone into open source. The community never got an invoice for that. In September it did. More on that later. So far I've only written for the Drupal crowd. Here I'm looking for people who have never installed Drupal and still ask the same questions. How do I automate work without chaining myself to a vendor? Which AI tools do I actually control? Who pays for the open source my business runs on? Who should I follow here who has nothing to do with Drupal? #introduction #OpenSource #Automation #DigitalSovereignty
