Hello everyone. RAISE YOUR SOUL! is my new book which I am taking the liberty of presenting to you. It is unlike anything I have written before. Setting aside high theory, it is the story of five women who, over of a hundred years, resisted fascism, authoritarianism and chauvinism. It is, I believe, a universal […]

This is the first in a series of blog posts where we have invited organisations from across the Drupal ecosystem to share their experiences and insights on how they are using Drupal AI in their work. If your organisation is innovating with Drupal AI, we would be delighted to feature you in a future post.
Witze Van der Straeten is a Front-End Web Development student at Arteveldehogeschool in Belgium. In this post, he shares how discovering Drupal has completely changed the way he thinks about design, development, and community.
Discovering Drupal
Before my internship, I had actually never heard of Drupal. At school, we learned about other CMSs, but Drupal was only briefly mentioned, we never explored it in depth. During my search for an internship, I connected with the owner of Calibrate, who was immediately enthusiastic and invited me to join the team.
A year into his leadership of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn made time to travel to the state of Tabasco, in the south of Mexico, to visit his friend and fellow left-winger, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO). It must have been nice to spend time with a successful progressive politician who seemed on the cusp […]
It’s become a ritual for me to take a personal inventory on my birthday. I’ve done it in 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017. If you follow me on social media and details of my personal and emotional life aren’t interesting to you, please feel free to skip this post. I’m in … Continue reading Birthday Inventory 2025

For fifteen years or so, I’d been kicking around the idea of resurrecting the artist-apprentice model that reigned in the art world for hundreds of years.
Again and again, I’d heard from young people who lamented the astronomical and ever-rising cost of art school. For many college-level art programs, the total cost to undergraduates is now over $100,000 a year. I hope we can all agree that charging students $400,000 for a four-year degree in visual art is objectively absurd. And this prohibitive cost has priced tens of thousands of potential students out of even considering undertaking such an education.
For years, I mentioned this issue to friends in and out of the art world, and everyone, without exception, agreed that the system was broken. Even friends I know who teach at art schools agreed that the cost was out of control, and these spiraling costs were contributing to the implosion of many undergraduate and postgraduate art programs.
Anytime you arrive at an event dressed similarly to another guest, things can feel a bit awkward. But the Vatican is notoriously secretive. You had no way of knowing what kind of huge hat the pope would be wearing tonight. Nevertheless, you’re in this mess, here’s what to do:
Try Not to Draw Attention to the Hat
Many times, we think everyone is looking at us, noticing every flaw we have and every piece of clothing we’re wearing. But, in reality, everyone else is busy with their own life, obsessing over their own clothes and flaws. How many people were wearing a Yankees cap on the subway this morning? What about something weirder, like a Mets hat? See? You have no idea. If you act natural and don’t mention it, it’s highly unlikely other guests will even notice two people are wearing enormous pope hats.
The International Splash Awards 2025 concluded today during DrupalCon Europe in Vienna, celebrating the world’s most outstanding Drupal projects, agencies, and developers. The annual awards recognize excellence in design, innovation, technical achievement, and community impact across a range of categories.
Now in its third edition, the International Splash Awards attracted a record number of submissions from across the globe. A distinguished jury of independent experts in web design, user experience, open source development, and digital strategy evaluated entries across criteria including concept, execution, emotional appeal, accessibility, performance, and social relevance.

In June, we set an ambitious goal: to raise 1 million dollars to accelerate the Drupal AI initiative. Today at DrupalCon Vienna, Dries Buytaert announced that we have achieved that goal. Remarkably, it took just five months.
This is by far the single greatest fundraising effort ever seen in the history of Drupal. It positions us well to win the race in AI.
Dries Buytaert
This marks the largest fundraising effort in Drupal’s history, driven by the commitment of our expanding group of AI Makers. The funding model combines financial contributions with a commitment to provide full-time staff who actively contribute to Drupal AI development.
With the addition of six new organisations — Pronovix, Pantheon, OpenSense Labs, Vardot, Foster Interactive, and Esinergia — the total number of Makers now stands at 22. Their involvement was instrumental in reaching the 1 million dollar target.
It’s our annual fundraiser. We’ve raised a little over $6,845 from 61 people in the last thirteen days, out of our goal of $12,500. If you’re a regular reader and can afford to support our writing, please subscribe or donate. Over 10,000 people read every day, but without those who give the site would not […]
Thanks for reaching out.
Yes, I’m interested in your one-week project, which you’ve described as a “sprint”—a fun euphemism for seven days of sheer panic.
When do you need me?
Darn, I’ll actually be on a cruise with my family that week, but I suppose I could find a quiet corner near the soft-serve machine to crack open my laptop.
What’s my day rate, you ask?
It’s steep—but commensurate with my over fifteen years of experience in a highly specialized field.
You don’t have the budget for that?
I see.
Well, in the interest of working together in the future, I will, as a courtesy, cut my rate in half this one time, knowing we’ll likely never work together again.
But it’s still worth it because, as a freelancer, I get to work remotely.
And by “work remotely,” I mean that I will graze the vast breakfast buffet until lunch and take an obnoxiously long and slightly rocky shower before opening a single work-related email.
What’s that?
You need me to come into the office for this project?
If you couldn’t make it to DrupalCon Vienna, here’s what you missed in the DriesNote.
Dries just delivered a DriesNote that marks a true turning point for Drupal — and the message couldn’t be clearer: we’re not just adapting to AI, we’re accelerating straight into it.
With 69% of Google searches now resulting in zero clicks, AI is fundamentally changing how people interact with the web. This is a new challenge for developers and agencies alike — but Dries says this can be an opportunity for Drupal.
Dries said AI isn’t replacing websites, it’s expanding their importance. Websites remain the source of truth — the home of trust, authenticity, and brand identity. AI agents will always need to cite and link back to authoritative sources.
Exactly four months after we released AI 1.1.0 and AI Agents 1.1.0, we are very proud to release the 1.2.0 in stable releases.
A major milestone for Drupal AI
The Drupal AI 1.2.0 release marks a huge step forward in making AI practical, transparent, and empowering for everyone — from developers to editors to digital leaders.
It transforms how content is created and managed, letting users and editors interact with AI directly inside Drupal’s UI through the new Field Widget Actions, and giving organizations total visibility and control with AI Observability.
