Hello DDEV and Drupal enthusiasts :) This is to inform you that there is presently a community discussion on Drupal.org about adding DDEV to the official Drupal.Org documentation about recommended Drupal local development environment. Which in turn could result in significantly growing DDEV community.

All are welcome to join this discussion. Now is a good time to share your feelings and thoughts about this. And answer questions or concerns at https://www.drupal.org/project/ideas/issues/2965681

I'm new to DDEV. So, not yet familiar, with where it is the most appropriate to post this invite. Feel free to move it to another location.

Describe your solution

For those interested, now is a good time to join this discussion at https://www.drupal.org/project/ideas/issues/2965681

Below is a copy of my contribution to this discussion:

One big strength of DDEV is that it is legally controlled by a friendly NOT-for-profit organization called "The DDEV Foundation" :) Usually, NOT-FOR-profit organizations value people above money. For you, this means lower risk of future Lock-In.

In comparison, Lando and Docker4Drupal are legally controlled by FOR-profit organizations. Usually, FOR-profit organizations are at higher risk to value money above people :( Docksal's legal control intent is not yet know. Because it is neither controlled by a NOT-for profit nor a FOR-profit organization. :|

Details and sources, starting with the 4th paragraphs, at https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/module-development-and-code-questions/2023-04-07/ddev-lando-docker4drupal-docksal-why-choose-one-over-the-other#comment-15299774

I look forward to reading your contribution

Welcome @Francewhoa , and thanks for contributing and opening this issue.

I would prefer that people not add "me too" comments to the Drupal.org issue. Constructive additions to the new sub-issues are welcome, especially if people start to work on the issues. But Drupal issues of this type tend to fill up with people expressing opinions that just confuse and bike-shed.

Right now it appears that the maintainers of Drupal are on the right track and trying to guide this to completion, so I prefer that we let them do that. And they already know that we're way happy to help along the way.

Closing this for now, again thanks for the contribution.
