Open source hums along on the work that just gets done. As Tiffany Farriss steps into the interim CEO seat, she's making a point to notice the sheer volume of work powering the Drupal ecosystem — hundreds of projects migrated to GitLab, DrupalCon Rotterdam in the homestretch, a new front door for Drupal in development, 14 community events landing this August, and partnership groundwork under way in Burkina Faso. Here's what came together in July, and how you can be part of what's next.

Drupal Association 2025 Audit and Financial Overview

By farriss on

When I took on the role of Interim CEO, I committed to being direct about our finances and noted that our earlier audits already told much of the story. The board has now released our 2025 audit report, which was provided to the Board of Directors of Association on 8 July 2026 and approved on 25 July 2026. It provides additional context and detail, but does not change the overall picture or our path forward. 

Move Fast, Stay On-Brand: How Drupal AI Delivers Both

By pdjohnson on

In our previous blog posts, we’ve talked about how our growing ecosystem — now backed by 32 global partner organisations and a dedicated delivery team — is structured to build a secure, stable, and highly integrable AI-native digital experience platform.

So what does this mean for your day-to-day digital communications and marketing operations? How do you translate this into improved experiences for your audience, higher conversion rates, and reduced cost?

To win in the age of AI, digital leaders don’t just need faster ways to generate content or build great digital experiences. They need a platform that helps them move at maximum speed, while still maintaining the highest quality and content standards.

Here is an inside look at the key features on the Drupal AI 2026 roadmap, focused on the outcomes that matter most to digital communications and marketing teams: speed, brand safety, and measurable ROI.

Empowering Creators and Governing Agents: The Next Phase of the Drupal AI Initiative

By pdjohnson on

In 2025, the Drupal AI Initiative launched with a clear vision: to establish Drupal as the premier open-source AI platform for digital experiences.

One year later, the market momentum is clear. What began as a highly focused working group has grown into a powerful ecosystem supported by 32 global partner organisations, over 50 active contributors, and over $2.3 million in committed funding. Most importantly, with the core AI technology now clocking up over 18,000 installs, organisations are actively building their next-generation marketing engines on Drupal.

For digital teams, AI presents a host of opportunities. The power to increase speed of production on one hand, while maintaining quality, consistency and governance on the other. Drupal is addressing this head-on by creating two dedicated product workstreams: Inside AI and Outside AI.

Introducing the Drupal AI Security Initiative: The First Six Weeks

By farriss on

Drupal's volunteer Security Team has protected millions of sites for more than 20 years and its process is world-class. Bandwidth among the security engineers has always been the limiting constraint. This spring that constraint met a new kind of pressure: AI-assisted analysis is finding latent vulnerabilities at an accelerating pace.

The Drupal AI Security Initiative adds funded security capacity in response. It is funded through Alpha-Omega's Security-Engineer-in-Residence (SEIR) program, coordinated by the Drupal Association, and works alongside the volunteer Security Team, which continues its normal process throughout.

This post introduces the initiative and reports on our first six weeks. The short version: the funded fractional team model is working and has already evolved our understanding of where we want to focus next.

Why Drupal Contribution matters to you!

By igorgoncalves on

DrupalCon Rotterdam 2026 is going to be way more than just sessions and keynotes, it’s a chance to be part of what actually builds and improves Drupal. 

Contribution Day is a part of DrupalCon, and in Rotterdam it will be on Thursday, 01 Oct. This is the heart of the event, where the global community comes together to make a real and concrete impact to the project.

Where Drupal really stands with AI agents, where it has a right to win, and what we need to do next.
