DrupalCon Portland 2024: A Crucial Hub for Navigating Major Drupal Transitions
DrupalCon Portland 2024, scheduled for next month, is set to offer extensive support for Drupal users facing major transitions, as shared by Gábor Hojtsy on his blog. With Drupal 7 nearing its end of life on January 5, 2025, this event marks the last major North American opportunity for users to seek migration support. The conference will feature a variety of sessions aimed at easing the transition from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10, including an introductory session on Acquia: Migrate Accelerate and professional content migration strategies.
Additionally, Drupal 11, released in 2024, will be highlighted by Dries Buytaert in his State of Drupal keynote, with further exploration in a session led by Hojtsy. The event will also address replacing DrupalCI testing with GitLab CI, with sessions dedicated to advanced GitLab CI usage and mentoring opportunities for attendees to adapt their projects to the new system. These transitions are a significant shift in the Drupal community’s approach to web development and project management.
