Dear Readers,
Innovation is the lifeblood of progress. It represents the pursuit of better solutions, the breaking of traditional boundaries, and products that challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of what is possible. True innovation involves a continuous cycle of exploration, experimentation, and adaptation, driven by a deep desire to solve complex problems and improve human experiences. It's about seeing beyond the current limitations and envisioning what could be, transforming bold visions into tangible solutions that can significantly advance how we live, work, and interact.
As a powerful tool for creating and maintaining dynamic web applications and the most sought-after enterprise-level CMS, Drupal stands as a testament to the power of innovation. As an open-source platform, Drupal thrives on its global community's collective creativity and technical prowess. Through Drupal, innovation is not just an individual pursuit but a shared journey, propelling the platform and its users toward new frontiers of digital possibility.`
Drupal means innovation, and the Drupal Association has introduced an Innovation Hub, a dedicated space to foster collaboration and advance innovation within the Drupal community. Headed by Alex Moreno, the initiative has devised a set of strategic goals for Drupal and its community for 2023-2025. With a focus on inspiration, collaboration, and driving Drupal forward, the Innovation Hub aims to shape the future of digital experiences and strengthen Drupal's vibrant ecosystem.
