This post looks at the idea of a Drupal Site Template marketplace and whether it should support both open source and commercial templates.

A graphic titled "Evaluating a Drupal Site Template Marketplace" showing a grid of website templates labeled by industry, including Higher Ed, News, Non-profi, and more.

This is an unusual post for my blog, but I'm sharing it to start a broader conversation about an idea we're exploring: a marketplace for Drupal Site Templates. Both the Drupal CMS Leadership Team and the Drupal Association have discussed this concept, but no decision has been made. I'm posting to share our current thinking and invite feedback as we shape this together.

DrupalCon North America 2025 Driesnote presentation

Three months ago, we launched Drupal CMS 1.0, our biggest step forward in years. Our goal is ambitious: to reimagine Drupal as both radically easier to use and a platform for faster innovation.

In my DrupalCon Atlanta keynote last week, I reflected on the journey so far, but mostly talked about the work ahead. If you missed the keynote, you can watch the video below, or download my slides (56 MB).

“Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen chastised U.S. officials following a trip by Vice President J.D. Vance to Greenland, saying the country is open to criticism but isn’t happy with how it’s being delivered.” — USA Today, 3/30/25

“The Kremlin said on Monday that Russia and the United States were working on ideas for a possible peace settlement in Ukraine and on building bilateral ties despite U.S. President Donald Trump saying that he was ‘pissed off’ with Vladimir Putin.” — Reuters, 3/31/25

Local trains along the 1-2-3 line will be running express between Chambers Street and Fourteenth Street due to urgent repairs (all of the “C” tiles fell off of the “Canal Street” mosaic).

Due to track maintenance, the A train will not be running between Canal Street and Fourteenth Street. Shuttle service will be made available via the Sex and the City tour bus, with service beginning at Steve’s Bar and stretching to Magnolia Bakery, with an intermediary stop at Carrie’s apartment.

Due to a technology malfunction, arrival-time signs are incorrectly indicating that trains are running every thirty minutes. Trains will continue to be running every forty minutes, as expected.

Trains are being held due to an investigation at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station. They’re trying to figure out how to pronounce “Schermerhorn.”

The Forty-Second Street shuttle does not run overnight. Or during the day.

The woman walking up and down the train cars of the Manhattan-bound J train selling candy bars from a shopping cart is out of Peanut M&Ms.

Expect delays on the Q line; we can’t find the keys to the train anywhere.

The first website my colleagues and I created was for “Batman Forever” (1995, d. Joel Schumacher), starring Val Kilmer. That website changed my life and career. I never saw “Top Gun,” but Val Kilmer made a brilliant Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s “The Doors.” Rest in peace.
