DrupalCon North America 2022 Driesnote presentation

Last week, 1,300 Drupalists gathered in Portland, Oregon for DrupalCon North America. It was the first in-person DrupalCon in more than two years. I can't tell you how amazing it was to see everyone face-to-face.

Help get us on track for an August 2022 release of Drupal 10.0.0!

Drupal 10 release windows

Our release schedule includes three potential release dates for Drupal 10.0.0, depending on when critical requirements are completed:

  1. June 15, 2022, if key requirements are completed by March 11
  2. August 17, 2022, if key requirements are completed by May 13
  3. December 14, 2022, if key requirements are completed by September 9

Our new target release date for Drupal 10.0.0 is August 17, 2022

With about two weeks remaining until the March deadline, we are confident that the critical requirements will not be completed by that date. Therefore, we are officially announcing that our new target release date for Drupal 10.0.0 is August 17, 2022, and the beta deadline for critical requirements is May 13, 2022.

Drupal 9.3.0 is available

The third feature release of Drupal 9 introduces experimental support for CKEditor 5, makes the Olivero theme stable and introduces various content editor and developer improvements.

Who sponsors Drupal development? (2020-2021 edition)

For the past few years, I've examined Drupal.org's contribution data to understand how the Drupal project works. Who develops Drupal? How diverse is the Drupal community? How much of Drupal's maintenance and innovation is sponsored? Where do sponsorships come from?

Compared to last year, we have fewer contributions and fewer contributors. I believe this is the result of COVID-19, where we are in the Drupal Super Cycle, and many Drupal shops being "too busy growing".

Despite a slowdown in contribution, it's amazing to see that just in the last year, Drupal welcomed more than 7,000 individual contributors and over 1,100 corporate contributors.

All of that, and more, is explained in my report.  Check it out!
