Yesterday's CMS published pages. Tomorrow's CMS publishes capabilities

By mfernanda.silva on

Imagine asking an AI assistant:

"Show me waterproof jackets under £150, in size M, available for delivery tomorrow".

Today, the assistant might search the web, read several retail websites and summarise what it finds. But what if, instead of reading pages, the agent could ask retailers directly which products matched those requirements?

Two Keynotes, One Question: Building Through Disruption at Drupal GovCon

By pdjohnson on

Two GovCon keynotes came at disruption from opposite ends. Read them together and you get a map of the moment Drupal is in.

Earlier this month, I spent some time at Drupal GovCon, and a striking element was how well the two keynotes fit together. They were pitched under the same banner — "Building Through Disruption" — but they came at it from opposite ends. Mike Madison talked about how disruption can be something you do, on purpose, to make your team better. Kerry Greer reminded us that disruption is also something that happens to people, and that holding a team together through it is real work that rarely shows up on a ticket. Put those two talks side by side and you get something close to a complete picture: the courage to lead change, and the care to make sure nobody gets left behind while you do it.

I want to walk through both, because I think the Drupal community needs both right now.

Your next website visitor might not be human

By pdjohnson on

For most of the web’s history, we have designed digital experiences around a simple assumption: a person will visit our website. That person might arrive through a search engine, follow a campaign link, scan a QR code, or maybe even type the URL into their browser.

AI is changing that... dramatically and rapidly!

From Headless CMS to AI Harness: What I Took to Decoupled Days

By pdjohnson on

Back in March, at EvolveDigital in Toronto, I ran into Preston So. He mentioned that the team behind Decoupled Days was looking for speakers, and that this year the event would be in Montréal. I was interested right away. Drupal Canvas is the most compelling answer I have seen to a problem that has followed decoupled architectures for years, and I wanted that message to reach beyond the Drupal faithful — out to the practitioners who live and breathe headless every day.

The talk I ended up giving was not really about a content management system at all. It was about how Drupal has quietly become something else: a governed harness for artificial intelligence. Here is the argument I made, the demo that seemed to land hardest with the room, and why I think 2026 is the year the trade-offs of going headless finally stop being trade-offs.

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.
