January 2025 was a month of celebration, innovation, and community for Drupal. The successful launch of Drupal CMS brought together a large number of Drupal enthusiasts from around the world, infusing the community with a renewed spirit. This excitement has sparked conversations about the future of Drupal and the efforts behind its continuous evolution. In this spirit, The Drop Times recently published an exclusive interview with James Abrahams, AI Track Lead for Drupal CMS, where he candidly discussed behind-the-scenes developments that led to this milestone.
Last month also brought exciting announcements about upcoming events. Florida DrupalCamp is set for February 21–23, followed by highly anticipated events like Drupal Mountain Camp and DrupalCon Atlanta in March. Reflecting on this busy calendar, I’m reminded of a blog post by Ales Kohek on Agiledrop: "Why the Drupal Community Deserves (and Needs) Well-Attended Events." The author highlights the long-term benefits of such gatherings—stronger networking, larger-scale idea generation, and an overall boost to the community’s collaborative spirit. For an open-source software like Drupal, these events are crucial in preserving our sense of belonging and shared purpose.
At The Drop Times, we remain dedicated to bringing you the latest updates on Drupal events happening across the globe. Our team actively tracks event announcements, provides coverage on key discussions, and ensures that community members stay informed. Whether it's interviews with speakers, event recaps, or highlighting major takeaways, we strive to be your go-to source for all things Drupal. As community members, you can also reach out to us with information about local events in your area. Let’s build on the energy sparked by the Drupal CMS launch and make this year’s events even more impactful.
