Dear Readers,
The Drupal CMS release candidate made its debut at DrupalCon Singapore 2024, marking the beginning of an exciting new era for Drupal. This release offers a first look at what’s being called the most user-friendly version of Drupal yet. But this is just the beginning. The full launch of Drupal CMS v1 is set for January 15, 2025 — exactly one month away! With the countdown officially on, the Drupal community is gearing up for a wave of activity, excitement, and preparation leading up to the big day.
At The DropTimes, we’re ready to keep you plugged into every development. Over the next month, we’ll be bringing you exclusive insights from track leads, in-depth looks at each of the tracks, and timely updates on project progress. We’ll also be covering the many Drupal CMS launch parties taking place around the world. This isn’t just a software release — it’s a moment of celebration for the Drupal community and a glimpse into the future of the platform.
But we don’t want to do it alone — we want to hear from 'you'! Do you have thoughts on Drupal CMS or ideas for where it should head next? Are you planning a launch party? We want to know! If there’s a track you believe deserves more attention or a new feature you’d like to see, let’s get your voice out there. The DropTimes is here to amplify community voices and spark conversation. The next chapter for Drupal is about to begin, and together, we can help shape it. Email us at editor@thedroptimes.com. Stay tuned as we count down to January 15!
