Gregory Heller, Civic Actions to talk about Drupal Guild Concept and the open business model.

CivicActions is Professional Services firm specializing in Drupal deployment for progressive political and non-profit organizations.  We are building a business model tailored to open source developement and the open licensing that is at the core of our business.

We see the "Drupal Guild" concept as a way for similarly organized development firms and independent developers to organize in a manner consistent with the philosphy behind open source development and that will foster the growth of the open source ecology around Drupal.
