Drupal AI Learners Club Is Here. And You're Invited.

If you’ve spent any time around Drupal lately, you’ve probably noticed that AI is everywhere — in the keynotes, in the hallway conversations, in the issue queues. You may also have noticed that everyone else seems to know what they're doing, while you're still trying to figure out where to start.

You are not. Not even close.

Those questions — what is actually going on, and where do I even start? — are exactly what the Drupal AI Learners Club was built for.

Improvements to Drupal.org project maintainers syncing with GitLab project members

As we migrate more projects to GitLab on git.drupalcode.org, we have discovered improvements to make in the mapping of Drupal.org project maintainers to GitLab’s project members, ensuring that it is a 2-way synchronization.

The next time you update maintainers for your project on Drupal.org, this will update all maintainers’ access in GitLab. Please review project members in GitLab, and under Activity, the Team events. Syncing is now more thorough, so there might be more maintainership and member changes than you expect.

GitLab issue migration: a contributor's perspective

This is the fourth post in our GitLab issue migration series. The earlier posts focused on what is changing and how maintainers should set up their projects. This one is for the rest of us — the people who file bugs, review code, push fixes, and triage queues without wearing a maintainer hat. If your favorite contrib project has just moved its issues to git.drupalcode.org, here's what you need to know.

From Leuven to Athens: Celebrating One Year Since the Drupal AI Initiative Took Shape

The Drupal AI Initiative marks its first year since the spark of conception at Drupal Developer Days in Leuven, having grown into the largest multi-company collaboration in Drupal community history. Launched officially in June 2025, the initiative has expanded to 34 partners, reached nearly 14,000 installs growing at approximately 260 sites per week, and secured $380,000 in cash alongside $1.5 million in in-kind contributions.

Delivery frameworks, funded roles across multiple organisations, and an active 2026 roadmap are all in place, while marketing efforts have raised Drupal's profile at major international events. As the community gathers in Athens, the focus turns to Rotterdam and the next phase of growth, with 12 additional partners targeted ahead of DrupalCon.

Drupal Is All In on AI. Now Comes the Hard Part

Original article posted by Christoph Breidert on 1xINTERNET website

Over a decade ago, I co-founded 1xINTERNET on the conviction that Drupal was the best platform for ambitious web applications. That bet paid off. But recently, as AI began disrupting our industry, I found myself facing an unfamiliar feeling: uncertainty. For the first time in my career, the path forward wasn't entirely clear.

Differentiating Marketplace Site Templates and Community Site Templates

Site templates are available through two distinct pathways, each serving different needs within the community.

The official Drupal.org Marketplace provides a curated collection of site templates that meet certain quality standards, and are built on top of Drupal CMS as a foundation.

Community templates offer an alternative pathway for innovation and experimentation without the constraints of the curation process, by publishing the template as a general project on Drupal.org.
