+[Backdrop CMS](https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop)
+is a fork of 
+[Drupal](https://cgit.drupalcode.org/drupal).

+
+No details there as to who did the fork, when, and the why seems to be over
+architectural philosophy?

+Conservancy's 
+[announcement that Backdrop CMS joined Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org/news/2018/may/08/backdropjoinsSFC/)
+
+That article mentions one "who" at least: Jen Lampton.
