Over the last few years, many of us have seen the need to evolve community governance. Up until now, we had to focus on other priorities, but now is the time to address our needs for community governance especially in light of recent community events.

Surrounding Drupal is a thriving global business ecosystem and thanks to collaboration with One Shoe and Exove, we’ve created an annual survey that gives insight into its health, focus, and needs. Businesses benefit by learning from their peers and seeing Drupal’s business trends. This survey also helps the Drupal Association find new ways to help support this community. Analysis of the 2016 edition of the survey can be found here.

Spring cleaning for Drupal.org meant improvements to stability and maintenance, UTF8MB4 support, and finding efficiencies in DrupalCI.
