The end of Drupal A look at the future

Drupal Developer Days Burgas 2024
Day 3. Joao Ventura

Drupal has been around for 23 years, and as community, we have built an amazing product that powers hundreds of thousands of websites, and especially in the top most visited sites.

However, every single indicator indicates that Drupal's market share is decreasing, and the upcoming end-of-life of Drupal 7 will probably accelerate that decline.

Drupal agencies should prepare the future, both by injecting new blood and ideas into Drupal, in order to make Drupal great again, and by making sure that their employees engage with the community. In my personal experience, companies talk a lot about "community", but rarely there is any real effort to make new hires belong to that community (and asking to pass Acquia exams does not count as "community").
