DrupalCamp Scotland returned after five years, drawing excitement and already sparking interest in next year’s event. Paul Johnson, the Business Development Manager of 1xInternet, has written a detailed report on the event for those who missed it.

In the event, Keynote speaker Billy Wardrop, Web Team Manager at the University of Edinburgh, shared insights from their monumental migration journey from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10—a project spanning seven years and involving over 1,500 websites. The university's core site, slated for Drupal 10 by December 2025, cements its status as one of the largest Drupal users in higher education.

Lenny Moskalyk from the Drupal Association outlined a strategy for European engagement, particularly in education and government sectors. She also introduced the Drupal Open University Initiative, which aims to bring Drupal into academia by offering accessible, open-source courses.

Other highlights included Phil Norton’s session on Drupal's Batch API for enhanced user experience, Emma Horrell's advocacy for simplifying Drupal’s terminology, and Maria Young’s talk on accessibility, emphasizing tools like the Editoria11y Accessibility Checker and Drupal’s Content Readability module.

Christoph Breidert showcased AI potential in Drupal applications, and Rouven Volk discussed efficient enterprise scaling practices. The camp also hinted at a resurgence of UK DrupalCamps, with discussions underway for DrupalCamp England in 2025, promising more gatherings in the Drupal community’s future.
