The Drupal Community will have a large showing at EU Open Source Week 2026 in Brussels. You are invited to join Drupal Association board members Baddy Sonja Breidert, Tiffany Farriss, Sachiko Muto, Imre Gmelig, Dominique De Cooman and Alex Moreno at the following events throughout the week. Drupal Association CEO Tim Doyle, CTO Tim Lehnen, and Head of Global Programs, Meghan Harrell will also be in attendance.
Happening from 26 January to 1 February, 2026 in Brussels, the global open source community is gearing up for the EU Open Source Week. We are proud to highlight the significant presence of the Drupal project throughout the week.
Here’s where you can find Drupal making an impact:
Play to impact - Drupal AI Hackathon: The event will kick-off online on 22 January 2026 and further will be continued during the EU Open Source Week on 27 and 28 January 2026. During the two-day event, developers, designers and other digital innovators will work side by side to create smarter, faster and more open digital solutions built with Drupal and AI.
Drupal Pivot: A 1.5-day, peer-led un-conference, to be held on 27 and 28 January 2026, for Drupal agency CEOs, founders, and senior executives to collaboratively explore the most pressing strategic questions shaping the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.
Drupal EU Government Day: A unique free one-day event, scheduled for 29 January 2026, bringing together policymakers, technologists, and digital leaders from across Europe’s public sector.
EU Open Source Policy Summit: An invite-only one-day event with free online access, hosted by OpenForum Europe (OFE), bringing together leaders from the public and private sectors to focus on digital sovereignty.
The Drupal Association is honoured to support the EU Open Source Policy Summit 2026 as a Bronze sponsor.
In addition to our sponsorship, we are pleased to highlight two members of our Board of Directors who will be sharing insights during the program:
- Baddy Sonja Breidert will join the panel: Europe as the World’s Home for Open Source
- Sachiko Muto will provide an intervention on: UN Open Source Week 2026 and the UN Open Source Principles
FOSDEM: A two-day volunteer-run free event for the global open source community. Held every year at the end of January in Brussels, it is a massive event of contributors to share code, host community-led "devrooms," and collaborate face-to-face without registration fees or corporate barriers.
- HackerTrain to FOSDEM: An event that’s meant to coordinate several train routes to Brussels to bring hackers from all over Europe to FOSDEM and the EU Open Source Week. This means that there will not be one HackerTrain, but several at the same time on different routes and different dates – all converging in Brussels.
EU OpenSource Week is going to be an immersive experience for developers, policymakers, and industry leaders to shape the future of open technology offering unparalleled opportunities to:
- Engage directly with EU policymakers,
- Learn from and collaborate with leading developers,
- Network and connect with open source communities,
- Explore new partnerships
