#DrupalCanvas is Drupal's built-in visual page builder, powered by reusable components and built for both site builders and content creators. Two sessions from FLDC 2026 worth watching if you are building with it.
"The State of JavaScript Code Components in Drupal Canvas" by Balint Kleri

"Creating Single Directory Components with Drupal Canvas in Mind" by Michael Anello

May is Maintainer Month. The people behind the tools we rely on are doing incredible work and do not always get the support they deserve. Fund their work, or help spread the word.
Some of the maintainers looking for funding:
Randy Fay, lead maintainer of DDEV, used by over 19,000 developers every week. https://ddev.com/support-ddev/
Jess (xjm), Drupal core release manager since 2015. https://xjmdrupal.org/sponsor-me
Who are the maintainers you want to recognize?
May 21 was GAAD. We are a day late, but accessibility does not expire.
Accessibility belongs in every step of our workflow, not just on awareness days. The FLDC community has covered this well. These two sessions are a great place to begin.
Accessibility: The Never-Ending Story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1mE9yRzlLY
Understanding "The Why" in Accessibility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjOooXFaXZI
Awareness is step one. The rest is on us.
