A Global Celebration for Drupal
Dear Readers,
On January 15, the Drupal community will mark a historic milestone with the launch of Drupal CMS 1.0, coinciding with Drupal’s 24th anniversary. Over 40 community-hosted parties are planned globally, along with a virtual celebration for those unable to attend in person. This event highlights over two decades of innovation and collaboration within the Drupal ecosystem.
Drupal CMS represents a significant advancement in open-source content management, offering a fully composable platform designed for developers, marketers, and site builders. With a user-centric design, enterprise-grade tools, and unparalleled flexibility, it enables the creation of dynamic and powerful digital experiences. Its low-code/no-code features and seamless integration with marketing tools make it an accessible and versatile solution for organizations of all sizes.
The launch celebrates the creativity and dedication of the global Drupal community. Participants are encouraged to share innovative contributions, such as artwork, videos, or performances, on Slack (#drupal-cms-launch), with the most creative entries rewarded during a livestream event. This milestone is both a testament to Drupal’s legacy and a showcase of the vibrant community driving its future.
Amongst all the anticipation for Drupal CMS v1 release, stay tuned for The DropTimes special edition newsletter featuring Drupal CMS release and launch parties.
