Did Dries have anything to do with it? No, nothing.

Who paid for the stickers? Digital Echidna, and they offered to do so anonymously. (I - Nikki - don’t feel comfortable setting a precedent of anonymous donors and so would prefer to give them credit. )

Who paid for the photo booth supplies? We posted an Amazon Wishlist and organization(s) bought items from it. We have no way of knowing who bought what.

What is your position on [controversial person or situation]. We don’t have one.
“I want to be involved and help make these decisions. How can I?” We make both decisions and recommendations (mostly recommendations it seems) for many things. If you wish to have a voice in making decisions about Drupal governance, Drupal’s Slack has a #governance channel.
If you wish to join your voice to ours, please do! We meet every Thursday in the slack channel at 9 PST/ 12 EST / 17 UTC.
