JetBrains Becomes Drupal Association Technology Partner, Offers Free PhpStorm Licenses for Contributors
We are happy to announce today that JetBrains is supporting the Drupal Association and the Community in two new ways:
1. They have signed on as a Drupal Association Technology Partner.
2. The company is offering core contributors access to free licenses to its PhpStorm PHP IDE.
JetBrains has supported Open Source projects with PhpStorm licenses for quite awhile and the Association is thrilled to be able to offer the same to our community. For the Drupal project, JetBrains will offer 250 Free Open Source Licenses for PhpStorm to be distributed among Drupal 7/8 core, modules and themes contributors.

This is SUPPORTA! Meet the Acquia Client Advisory Team
Inside Acquia, the Client Advisory Team is something special. These are the people who are on the front lines, helping others succeed with Drupal 24 hours a day. They go above and beyond the call of duty for anyone who needs help and for other members of their team. In July, I spoke with five Acquia Client Advisors about their work and their team.
What a team! This is a group of technology experts who will fight (maybe literally?) for you and your Drupal site. They will celebrate your launch, your solved problems, and your successes possibly just as hard as you.
While editing the recordings I made for this podcast, I could feel a contagious excitement steeping into me. I think this is because what you hear is the sound of Drupalists talking about something they (and so many of us in the Drupal community) love to do and truly believe in: helping other people with Drupal. The fact that they get to do this for a living must be an incredible feeling.
