AI gets all the headlines, but an aging infrastructure creates all the headaches.

It’s easy to focus on AI, Canvas, and what’s coming next. But for education and government teams, Drupal 11 is the more urgent conversation.

Fresh from DrupalCon, Anna Mykhailova, breaks down what teams need to know about making the move to Drupal 11. The December deadline for Drupal 10 end-of-life is closer than it feels.

At the Drupal 25th Anniversary Gala in Chicago, we set up a selfie booth and asked the community about their Drupal story — how they got involved, how Drupal has shaped their life, what it means to them, and more.

These are their answers.

@mtift captured the quieter side of #DrupalCon Chicago - the Quiet Room, the ten-second pause Dries borrowed from Fred Rogers, and why slowing down mid-conference might be the most useful thing you do. A lovely read.

The Quiet Room at DrupalCon | Matthew Tift

Dries borrowed an idea from Fred Rogers at the Driesnote: stop everything and think of the people who helped you get here. Ten seconds. That moment, and the Quiet Room down the hall, changed how I experienced DrupalCon this year.

New #DrupalCon Chicago blog post! Lots of cool pics, talk about contribution, community, and what's next for Dripyard #Drupal

Dripyard’s DrupalCon Chicago Wrapup | Dripyard

In my portion of the “Drupal CMS Spotlights” keynote, I made the case that in my 19+ years of being involved in the Drupal community, now is the most exciting time in Drupal’s history.

So prices for 2026 #DrupalCon in the US were: $575 for early bird, $700 regular and $850 for "late". All tickets over 20% cheaper across the board.

But in Europe: 650€ for early bird, 895€ for regular and a whooping 1165€ for "late". The only thing cheaper from Vienna 2025 is early bird.

This is for a conference that does not pay accommodation or travel to speakers.

Thanks to the licensed model I guess, private companies must profit from the #Drupal European community.

Wrote this 3+ years ago about the FL/Disney bullshit, but it still feels relevant given the (justifiable) feelings this week in the #Drupal community. I know this isn’t a 1 to 1 comparison to today but the sentiments shared here are stronger than ever. If you are able to find the courage to come to Orlando for #DrupalCon, I firmly believe you’ll find more love than hate.

Decisions about #DrupalCon locations and programming are made by the @drupalassoc staff, not the board.

The board is informed of the decision and has the opportunity to provide feedback, but it is the CEO of the Association who decides what feedback to take into account when making the decision.

@drupalassoc Or maybe Skylar Heath - shot in Liberty City, Miami, Florida, or Yunieski Carey Herrera (""Yuni"") - stabbed in Miami, Florida, or Alexus Braxton (Kimmy Icon Braxton) - murdered in Miami, Florida, or Keri Washington (""Bobo"") - murdered in Clearwater, Florida, or Royal Poetical Starz - shot in Miami Gardens, Florida, or Jenny De Leon - murdered in Tampa, Florida
