# Funding Drupal Core Development

#  Funding Drupal Core Development 

  

*Podcast episode player*

In this episode, we have [Greg Dunlap](https://www.lullabot.com/who-we-are/greg-dunlap) ([heyrocker](http://drupal.org/user/128537)) join Addi to talk about being a Drupal 8 initiative lead, not from the perspective of the software, but as someone who needs to pay rent. We talk about Greg's efforts to raise funding for his work as the Drupal 8 Configuration Management Initiative (CMI) lead, why he needed to go knocking on doors, and what that means going forward. What is money's role in a sustainable future for Drupal core development?
