These efforts contributed to strengthening TDT’s role as a consistent source of community news and updates.

On the outreach front, the team reiterated its focus on maintaining visibility across channels and sustaining engagement through timely coverage and community-centric storytelling.

Looking ahead, TDT shared that the Wikipedia initiative remains a key priority and is expected to regain momentum in April. The initiative is aimed at improving representation and accessibility of Drupal-related knowledge, with plans to involve more contributors in the process.

As part of the session, Editor-in-Chief Sebin A Jacob spoke at length about the ongoing discussions surrounding the Digital Sovereignty Bill.
