After the slow pace of previous upgrades, it may take you by surprise that Drupal 10 is already here.
Do you need to upgrade? How easy or hard is it? What's new? In this article, let's break down the how and why of Drupal 10, and what you need to know.
Event kick-off The event started with mingling, drinks and nibbles for half an hour, before we moved to presentations. A Drupal-inspired welcome After a brief intro from Drupal Meetup lead Suchi Garg , Alfred took to the floor to talk about all things Drupal. He started by looking at the origins of Drupal: Drupal was founded by Dries Buytaert in 2001 (when he was at the University of Antwerp) as a comms message board Its turning point was in 2003, when it was adopted by the US Democratic Party Alfred compared that to current day: “Now, Drupal is the world’s greatest enterprise-grade open source CMS.” Alfred then spoke about the use of Drupal across many different Australian government jurisdictions before looking at Salsa’s journey with Drupal.Today we are talking about Acquia’s Drupal Acceleration Team with Tim Plunkett.

If your resume reflects ten years of Drupal experience, your Drupal.org profile confirms it by displaying how long you have been a member of Drupal.org. Your Drupal.org account also tracks every interaction you have had on Drupal.org. When I say every interaction, I mean every interaction, positive and negative, which reminds us to be professional and considerate on Drupal.org and adhere to Drupal's code of conduct. For example, one of my earliest posts describes my interaction with quicksketch, the previous maintainer of the Webform module.

In our blog post about Innovating Healthcare with Drupal, we talked about using Drupal to deliver an application that improves the healthcare experience for palliative care patients. Our application was a resounding success. The global COVID-19 pandemic hits and the need to keep people out of the Emergency Rooms to stop the spread of the Coronavirus suddenly becomes urgent. To move the Drupal application out of tightly controlled pilots to a more widely distributed application requires adherence to HIPAA (USA) and PIPEDA (Canada) guidelines to safeguard patient information. Unfortunately, the tried and tested Drupal DevOps and hosting environments we’ve become accu
