“We’re thrilled to be part of Drupal’s next great chapter with the launch of Drupal CMS. It’s a major milestone that, we believe, will elevate Drupal’s popularity and broaden its appeal. On day one, Drupal CMS already surpasses the competition with its battle-tested feature set, free and open-source nature, and its integration into a vast Drupal ecosystem. It offers a truly unique value to developers and organizations alike.

At DrupalCamp Tbilisi, our mission is to connect developers in Georgia and the Caucasus, creating a hub for collaboration and learning. We’re excited to introduce more people to the strengths of Drupal and to promote its adoption in the region. As a company that has been working with Drupal since 2011, Omedia has grown to love not only its technical flexibility but also the vibrant and supportive community behind it.”

Drupal CMS Bodensee Release Party

Jürgen Haas

“Our user group around Bodensee actually launched exactly 14 years ago for the Drupal 7 release party. It is so exciting to think back all those years and how far we've come; as individuals, as a community, as technology and now first time in history also as a product.

I'm excited about Drupal CMS from 2 different perspectives. From an end-user perspective, there's now a CMS product which works extremely well out-of-the-box and is governed properly. And from the community's perspective, I'm extremely impressed with how we collaborated for the last 6-8 months, and will certainly continue to do so. We're so strong together.”

“Same as the Global Contribution Weekend end of January the Drupal CMS Launch is one of the few occasions where the global Drupal community can come together as whole. Drupal User Group Berlin is excited to be part of that and to offer the space to join that excitement.”

Drupal CMS Launch Party - Boston (Mission Control)

Jim Shaw

"The launch of Drupal CMS is a landmark event that promises to set the industry benchmark for no-code website building. Since the announcement of Project Starshot only eight months ago, the pace of innovation has been out of this world. It’s a testament to the power of the Drupal community that we have so quickly brought to market a product that empowers non-technical users while preserving the power and flexibility that have made Drupal the first choice for sophisticated experience builders. We can’t wait to gather with our fellow Drupalists to celebrate all that we’ve accomplished, as well as look forward to the incredible opportunities we will unlock in the year ahead."
