The Drupal Association is excited to announce that our t-shirt design contest will be returning for DrupalCon Chicago! 

We want to see the Drupal community's design ideas for the official t-shirt, available for all attendees to wear and enjoy. Do you have a fantastic idea in mind? Let’s see your creativity!

The winner will get THEIR design on the front of the official t-shirt for DrupalCon Chicago!

What the judges are looking for

Judges are looking for a combination of creativity, impact, and relevance to the Drupal community. A design that tells a story and aligns with the values and aspirations of DrupalCon attendees is likely to capture attention.

While exploring bold ideas, consider how your design will resonate with a diverse audience. Think of classic elements that make a T-shirt memorable while pushing creative boundaries. Avoid overcomplicating things; sometimes less is more, especially if every element adds value to the message.

History, as the saying goes, doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. As we approach the Labour Government’s decisive Budget, and an abstract debate rages around the future of welfare spending in the UK, a brilliant piece of historical research published this summer sheds new light on the catastrophic impacts of previous cuts to support […]

Normally I ignore the style of government rhetoric and concentrate on the substance. But the Trump administration is so pathetically juvenile it beggars belief: Womp womp, cry all you want. These criminal illegal aliens aren’t getting released. Like clockwork, violent rioters have arrived at the Broadview ICE facility to demand the release of some of […]

I have a piece over at the London Review of Books Blog about the UK government’s appalling changes to the way refugees are treated in the country. “After the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, announced the government’s new policies for ‘Restoring Order and Control’ in the House of Commons yesterday, one MP after another stood up […]

1. There’s a turkey neck situation.

2. Is it four thousand degrees in the kitchen, or is it just you?

3. You love your family, but you also wish they’d leave you alone so you can watch Gilmore Girls and eat mashed potatoes.

4. You’re so bloated that you feel like a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.

5. Something that should be moist is instead very, very dry.

6. You’ve been obsessively trying to prepare for it, but who knows what will actually happen.

7. The placemats your kid made in kindergarten are making you tear up.

8. You need to go to an Orangetheory class for your own sanity.

9. There are tender breasts and big, meaty thighs.

10. You fall asleep on the couch at 4 p.m., then you’re wide awake at 3 a.m.

11. You swear you didn’t eat that much, but you look like you’re about five months pregnant, which you definitely are not. Or wait. Could you be?

12. There’s a bloodied history.

13. You’re debating whether to go the all-natural, hormone-free route or to just go for the hormones.

14. You’re not sure why you just walked into the kitchen.

Guide

Across every sector, leaders see the potential of AI, but many are struggling to turn that potential into measurable value.

Gartner’s 2023 and 2024 findings show that a significant proportion of AI projects stall before reaching production, often due to unclear use cases and limited organizational readiness. The MIT Sloan Management Review highlights that, while most executives recognize AI’s transformative potential, few can translate it into ROI.

Who dares enter my domain!? Don’t you know who I am? You think a lowly peon such as yourself is worthy of my precious time? Because, jeez Louise, I am absolutely slammed right now.

Tremble before me: I am the judge, jury, and executioner! I could slap a death sentence on you right now if I wanted to—no oversight, no checks, no balances. No anything.

I have to admit, I didn’t end up here through ambition or talent. I’m not the nephew of anybody important. One afternoon, the whole office got an email about all our funding being slashed. The next day, I was the only one who showed up. Now I’m an all-powerful overlord with a terrible bloodlust and an even more terrible work-life balance.

I sleep under my desk on a growing pile of takeout burger wrappers. I have to use PTO whenever the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time. My wife won’t even talk to me (there’s no bad blood between us; she just thinks I’ve been kidnapped).

At least without any coworkers, I have way fewer Zoom meetings. So there’s that.
