We had to reshape the structure and vision for [DrupalCon Portland] to better meet community needs in a COVID-conscious world, recalls Von Eaton as he speaks about the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The Director of Programs, DA, was replying to TDT over an email correspondence as a curtain raiser to the New England Drupal Camp 2022.

As long as the Drupal community is willing to experiment with new methods, frameworks, and technologies and openly share that knowledge, then I see a long future for Drupal, predicts Michael Miles as he replies to our email interview prior to the New England Drupal Camp 2022.

Talking Drupal co-host and one of the organizers of NEDCamp, Nic Laflin talks to the Drop Times.

Whether it’s an eCommerce site with a little bit of content or a content site with a little bit of eCommerce Drupal Commerce allows you to get up and running quickly with standard eCommerce functionality, vouches Kyle Einecker, a Senior Technical Architect at Perficient. TDT talked to him at the onset of the New England Drupal Camp 2022.

A big part of security is related to processes, not code, tells Benji Fisher, a provisional member of Drupal Security Team who works for Fruition. The Drop Times interviews him at the onset of New England Drupal Camp 2022.

Menu Block gives you additional functionality around managing the display of menus in block regions. Drupal core allows you to add any menu such as main navigation, footer, etc… into any region and you can control how many menu levels should be displayed. Menu Block gives you additional options such as setting a fixed parent item, changing the block title, and more.

But the one feature of Menu Block I want to show you in this tutorial is the ability to add a custom theme hook suggestion to menus.

How do we make Drupal the cool kid again?  Did you know that about 60% of Drupal sites are still on D7, even with D10 about to be released in December? There’s been chatter that many folks are waiting on whether to stick with Drupal or slow roll their upgrade because D7 has been more challenging than anticipated. We know upgrading to D9 (or now D10) results in a much better experience than D7, but for those still unsure where they’re headed, we’d like you to consider this: Drupal Can Be Fun. No, super fun, at least in the developer and content editor sense. Read on, please. Drupal's Future Can Be Fun So, how do we make Drupal fun and exciting to work on? Here are four ideas to spice things up!  Focus on the Native API Platform Using Next-Drupal as a TWIG replacement 

Why was Web Profiler spun out of the Devel module? Will there be differences between the D9 and D10 versions? What new features will the Web Profiler module have in Drupal 10? Listen to a fascinating chat between our Michael Meyers, Fabian Franz, and Luca Lusso, Lead Developer at SparkFabrik, as they take a dive into one of Luca's latest module contributions. Luca is a maintainer of both modules, Web Profiler, Devel along with 32 others. In this Tag1 Team Talk Luca demonstrates how Web Profiler is currently working in the latest D10 beta, as well as what new features, like the inclusion of Google's Core Web Vitals, that he's polishing up for the Drupal 10 version of Web Profiler, expected in December. You'll also take away a sense of the human developer behind all these contributions as Luca talks about what brought him to the Drupal community and what help he is looking for to support the latest version. Check out this and more in the Tag1 Team Talk: Performance Tuning with Luca Lusso using Web Profiler. ## Related content: - Web Profiler page on Drupal.org - [Devel module page...

“The absolute best feature of Drupal 10, in my opinion, is that we’ve dropped support for Internet Explorer. It opens a lot of doors for the kinds of things we can do in Drupal core,” says Andy Blum to a question asked by The Drop Times. Andy is giving two sessions at NEDCamp 2022.
