DrupalCon 2023: Data Ownership and Open Web

Staff Reporter

React Online has shared an insightful blog post1 penned by Imre Gmelig Meijling, shedding light on DrupalCon's unwavering commitment to championing data ownership and the principles of the Open Web.

With its open-source roots, Drupal has earned global acclaim for its ability to empower the creation of cost-efficient online platforms while preserving content and data ownership. The community of developers behind Drupal, numbering in the tens of thousands, works diligently daily to contribute to and enhance this dynamic platform.

But what sets Drupal apart extends beyond its technical prowess. At its core, Drupal is a champion of the Open Web. It upholds the belief that the internet should be a space accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. In a world where digital access is essential, Drupal's commitment to inclusivity is more critical than ever.

Beyond its inclusive philosophy, Drupal is renowned for robust security and a commitment to data privacy. Last year marked the release of Drupal 10, and as we look ahead, the development journey for Drupal 11, expected to be unveiled in 2024, is already well underway.

DrupalCon, the annual gathering for professionals and organisations leveraging Drupal, will bring the community together again. Each year, DrupalCon changes its host city within Europe, and this year, Lille, France, takes on the mantle of host. It offers a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration, catering to seasoned Drupal aficionados and those setting out on their journey.

This year's DrupalCon is particularly exciting, with a strong focus on data ownership and the Open Web. This theme underscores the conference's relevance, with data playing a central role in the digital landscape.
