Drupal turns 25 on 15 January 2026! 🥳 That’s 25 years of open source, collaboration, innovation, and an incredible global community.

Activities you can join in
25 words for 25
To celebrate, we’re inviting the community to share 25 words for Drupal. It can be a short reflection, a memory, or a thought about what Drupal means to you. 💙
All you need to do is:
👉 Share your 25 words on your social platform of choice
👉 Post it between Jan 8–15
👉 Use hashtag#Drupal25Words so we can find and celebrate your post
👉 Tag Drupal Association
✍️ You can write it as a text post, use a graphic, or even share it handwritten as an image. Feel free to add more hashtags like hashtag#Drupal25, hashtag#CelebrateDrupal or hashtag#Drupal
If you’d like to use a graphic, we’ve a few options here: https://buff.ly/rjBpWvh 😃
Join the photo wall
We'll be creating a birthday picture wall that will feature you, the people who make Drupal so special. 💙
The idea is simple.
Capture a photo that visually represents “25”, in any of these easy ways:
✌️🖐️ Hold up two fingers + five fingers (25)
2️⃣5️⃣ Hold a small sign that says “25”
✍️ Write “25” in any creative way (paper, whiteboard, notebook, screen, sticky notes, cake, and more)
Upload your photo here (you’ll need to log in or create an account): CelebrateDrupal.org
If you’d like, you can also use the Birthday Polaroid frame for your photo: https://buff.ly/4PjkJK6
