I’ll be at DrupalCon Atlanta, where my primary goal is to connect and talk to all of you in the Drupal community who have questions about Experience Builder: hopes, concerns, aspirations, ideas, insights, anything!

I won’t be talking at DrupalCon this time, but:

• I’m confident my team mate Bálint “balintbrews” Kléri will blow your mind in his technical session! 🤓
• Next, Lauri will talk about it from a site builder and content creator POV, and share a good chunk of his vision. 😎
• Conveniently scheduled after one another in the same room. Before either, Dries will reveal the most exciting advancements in the DriesNote!
• And last but not least, to round out your Tuesday at DrupalCon: Renee Lund and Jillian Chueka are talking about the design process behind XB.

XB is a vast undertaking. We don’t yet have detailed plans for most things. We don’t yet have designs for most things.
We do have Lauri’s mind for the vision. The dozen or so of us working in its code depths know there are countless unfinished parts. That pains us, but it’s necessary to get to painting the vision for all of you, which you’ll see during the DriesNote.

Chances are talking to you will reveal some missed parts.

Which is why this is the perfect time to talk to me: we’re currently planning Q2 and Q3. In my role as Tech Lead, I want to hear your steepest challenges, to make sure we have a high degree of confidence of (eventually) being able to meet those challenges 😊

I’ll distill everything discussed during DrupalCon in a future blog post. About to leave for the airport now, see you there! 🛫

P.S.: the weekly blog posts are lagging, by months. Urgent things keep getting in the way from me catching up. But rest assured, what Dries will show, is way, way further than what you’ve seen on this blog!

New AI-powered tools and techniques make it easier than ever to manage content in your CMS.

While they’re not necessarily the most “earth-shattering” advances in technology, for anyone in charge of managing website content and media, there have been a series of incremental improvements to the editorial experience.

One small but very useful new tool now available in Drupal is the AI Image Alt Text module. 

Based on the new suite of AI modules now available in Drupal, this tool is able to visually analyze images loaded to the website by editors, and automatically suggest a text description (alt-text) for each one. It does so by connecting your CMS to an AI-provider such as Open AI or Anthropic–they supply the image analysis capabilities while Drupal handles the image uploads and text editing.

Effective integration with cloud services can significantly enhance the success of your Drupal-based website. Drupal is a powerful content management system, particularly when it comes to leveraging cloud technology.
