DrupalCon Pitch-Burgh has unveiled the five winners who will be awarded a total of $78,000 in funding for their groundbreaking proposals. The winners, determined through a community vote, were announced at DrupalCon Pitch-Burgh. The Founder and Project Lead of Drupal, Dries Buytaert successfully raised $70,000 in prize funds for the Drupal Pitch-Burgh innovation contest, held alongside DrupalCon Pittsburgh.
The esteemed winners have been recognized for their exceptional ideas, which garnered support and votes from the Drupal community. Their proposals, along with the video proposals, can be found on Drupal.org's 'Meet the Winners' page.
