The Drop Times mentioned my piece: "Noble Friends and Free Software Communities." They highlighted the contrast I was drawing, which is that Drupal's credit system tracks activity, but it can't measure the impact of mentorship, encouragement, or just plain being kind to other people in the community.

Noble Friendship Concept Highlights Drupal Community Contribution Culture

A recent blog post by longtime Drupal contributor Matthew Tift introduces the concept of “noble friendship” as a way to understand how participation in the community extends beyond formal roles and measurable output. Drawing from sustained involvement in the project, the reflection contrasts structured contribution tracking with informal practices such as mentorship, persistence, and peer support. The framing adds to ongoing discussions about how community health is defined and maintained.

The Drupal redesign for Harvard Library, built by my @lullabot colleagues, launched last month. It looks great!

I spent a lot of time in libraries in graduate school. Hours and hours of (mostly) peace and quiet that felt meditative. A good library website should work the same: calm, easy to move through, nothing in your way. This one has that feeling.

New Harvard Library Website Launches

The updated site draws on years of user research and analytics gathered since the previous version launched in 2018.

During Frederik Wouters' keynote at #Drupal Dev Days Athens, he said that Drupal AI case studies are crucial for building interest in Drupal AI. 🎤🤖

I agree, but I'm pretty sure you can take the "AI" out of that sentence and it still holds. 💡

If folks don't know what Drupal can do, then they won't use Drupal. 🚀

fastly now blocking access to the CONTRIB security, CORE releases and CORE security RSS feeds (via Thunderbird) at #Drupal is hopefully an unforeseen consequence 🤞

Starting in #Drupal 11.4.0, developers will be able to define routes as PHP Attributes right in controller classes - sweet! 🎉🐘✨

https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3311365

Use PHP attributes for route discovery

Problem/Motivation Drupal should use modern PHP attributes for route discovery a la Symfony. This will allow us to add an attribute to a method name and use that for routing information. For example: /** * The default 401 content. * * @return array * A render array containing the message to display for 401 pages.
