Bio: 

Seeking funding

I'm xjm: Drupal core release manager, core mentoring facilitator, Drupal Security Team member, and among the top contributors to Drupal 8, 9, and 10.

From 2013-2023, I was funded full-time to provide release management for Drupal core. In the past year I've been laid off twice and lost all my funding. This means that more than half of Drupal's release management funding disappeared overnight.

After two months of searching, I still haven't secured even half-time funding. This means fewer core commits, less timely core security releases, potential delays for strategic initiatives, and more work for other committers (most of whom only have 20-25% funded time, or even none at all).
