On a rainy morning in 1954, Sid Chaplin climbed out of the pit and handed Raymond Williams a letter: ‘just ten percent of authors originate from a working-class background,’ it read. The words were familiar, but lacked context. Seeking clarification, Williams presented the letter to Catherine Cookson, who had just appeared on an adjacent ballast […]

For years, Drupal has been the platform of choice for organizations that need serious digital capabilities—think universities managing millions of pages, government agencies with complex workflows, and Fortune 500 companies running mission-critical websites. The power is undeniable, but there's always been a catch: you needed technical expertise to unlock it.
That’s why one of the most exciting areas of Drupal’s journey has been the work underway on more intuitive, visual building experiences. The community has spent years exploring how to make Drupal feel more accessible to site builders and content teams without sacrificing the flexibility and robustness that define Drupal.
Drupal Canvas is the next step in that journey.
For several centuries, Santa Claus has been one of the most prolific mythical gift-givers in the world. Formerly known as Saint Nicholas of Myra, a man whose works included reviving the bodies of three children slain by a serial murderer, Santa Claus reinvented himself in the mid-1800s as a jolly Norwegian-style figure of merriment, whose generosity was based on the recipient’s moral acuity.
I recently spoke with Santa Claus, who is currently coordinating his staff of immortal blue-collar elves, about the morality of children and his friendship with a creature whom many carolers consider a war criminal: Krampus.
You have chosen to spend every Christmas Eve flying around the globe giving gifts to all of the, and I’m quoting here, “good girls and boys.” Why did you decide that only good children deserve gifts?

Many of the current strategic initiatives in Drupal are based on the principle of user-centered design. When executed well, this means that the needs, goals, and feedback of the end-user are part of the decision making process at every step of development.
Historically, gathering meaningful user feedback has required community volunteers, user surveys, the occasional academic user study, and the expertise of UX experts in our community. And those efforts will continue to be crucial. But we have always hoped to be able to gather real user data on a much broader scale, and proposed a telemetry initiative as early as 2018.
