Scaling the Drupal AI Initiative

The Drupal AI Initiative officially launched in June 2025 with the release of the Drupal AI Strategy 1.0 and a shared commitment to advancing AI capabilities in an open, responsible way. What began as a coordinated effort among a small group of committed organizations has grown into a substantial, sponsor-funded collaboration across the Drupal ecosystem.

As the associate vice provost for the Office of Asynchronous Online Courses for Student-Centered High-Impact Learning (OAOCSCHIL, an office we created in the last few years after realizing how lucrative these things are), I want to address a growing concern on campus: the rumor that asynchronous online classes are “basically a scam.”

I understand the confusion. Outsiders are quick to pass judgment on these courses stocked with hastily recorded video lectures from 2020, auto-graded multiple-choice quizzes, and reflection message boards that are now 87 percent bots talking to other bots. Because there are no scheduled meetings with professors or classmates, and grading consists of counting whether students clicked the correct buttons, the fact that we charge tuition for the privilege of participating in these experiences could be mistaken for a scam: one in which no learning and very little effort are exchanged for grades and credits.

But, I assure you, this is not a scam. This is innovation.

A quart of ice cream every hour?

No.

Any processed food?

No.

What about the processed food advertised during the Super Bowl?

No.

Really? Not Pringles, or Dunkin’ Donuts, or the chips from the Lay’s commercial about the retiring farmer that made me cry?

Still no.

How about the beer for sale at the football stadium?

No.

Even the Budweiser from the ad with the eagle and horse, which looked like Pegasus, that made me cry?

That is also a no from Mike Tyson.

Anything fudgy that makes people feel fudgy?

Definitely not.

What about the single salty tear that runs down your face when you cry?

No, the sodium content is too high.

RFK Jr.’s new inverted food triangle ends the war on protein, but my doctor says to limit my cholesterol intake. Should I still consume more cheese, meat, and whole-fat milk?

Yes! MAHA!

So I can have cheese even if it’s processed?

Yes. No. Trick question.

The Drupal Association engineering team  is announcing the end of life (EOL) of the first generation of the Automatic Update API, which relies on a different original signing solution for update validation than later versions.

Drupal.org’s APIs for Automatic Updates 7.x-1.x and 8.x-1.x will be discontinued on May 4th, 2026. These versions of automatic updates have been unsupported since the versions of Drupal core they are compatible with, 7 and 8, became unsupported.

Release contents hash files (example) will not be updated and will expire May 12th, 2026. They may be removed after this date with no notice.
