The DropTimes to Hold Open Townhall on 17 November 2026

Continuing its monthly community discussions, The DropTimes will host its November Open Townhall on Tuesday 17 November 2026 at 15:30 UTC (21:00 IST). The meeting will take place online through Zoom, with Drupal contributors, developers, agency representatives, event organisers and readers invited to participate.

The Townhall gives community members an opportunity to raise questions, share feedback and suggest ideas for future Drupal coverage. Participants can highlight projects, contributors and initiatives that may be receiving limited attention, discuss gaps in existing reporting and propose subjects for further investigation.

The upcoming meeting follows the October Open Townhall, held on 28 October 2026. During that session, Sebin A. Jacob, Editor-in-Chief of The DropTimes, outlined changes in the publication's editorial approach. He reported that daily news output had been reduced from approximately 13–15 stories to around six, allowing more time for original research, source verification, interviews and technical reporting.

The October discussion also examined ways to involve community members more directly in editorial planning. Tarun Udayaraj, who leads community initiatives at The DropTimes, reported that the Editorial Working Group had begun discussions on Drupal Slack, with digital sovereignty identified as an initial topic. Plans for collaborative online knowledge sessions with Drupal user groups and wider outreach beyond established Drupal channels were also discussed.

The November Townhall provides another opportunity for contributors and readers to take part in these conversations. Attendees can ask about TDT's ongoing activities, offer perspectives on community priorities and suggest stories that could benefit from firsthand experiences or additional reporting.

Participants can join the meeting through the TDT November Open Townhall Zoom link. The meeting ID is 814 5899 7719, and the passcode is 068914.
