Last week, Drupalists from around the world gathered for DrupalCon Global. This DrupalCon was the first ever virtual event of this scale for the Drupal community.
I remember the first gathering of Drupal contributors back in 2005. At the time, there were less than 50 people in attendance. In the 15 years since that first gathering, DrupalCon has become the heartbeat of the Drupal community. With each new DrupalCon, we introduce new people to our community, demonstrate the best that Drupal has to offer, and reconnect with our Drupal family.
With Drupal 9 here, the upgrade process from Drupal 8 to 9 is short and impressive. Upgrading is similar to a Drupal 8 minor upgrade. After some testing, your Drupal 9 website is ready to go. But, what about Drupal 8 modules? Thanks to the smooth upgrade path to Drupal 9, most large modules are ready to go! But, what about the smaller modules that haven't been maintained in a few years? Enter the Maintainers Project!
We’re so close to the release of Drupal 9 and the excitement is alive all throughout the Drupal community. It has been 5 years since Drupal 8.0 was released and in that time, thousands of contributors and organizations have worked together to create a more powerful, accessible and innovative Drupal experience based on the input of people all around the world. As we await the reveal, we know that you are eager to know what Drupal 9 will mean for your sites and the next generation of web experiences.
We recently joined Drupal founder Dries Buytaert in a webinar hosted by The Drupal Association and Acquia to answer your top Drupal 9 questions. Since we weren’t able to cover everyone’s questions, we wanted to cover some of the most popular ones here. Keep reading to find out what’s in store for Drupal going forward.
