What You Missed at DrupalCamp Florida 2024

Posted by Evolving Web - 25 Mar 2024 at 17:20 UTC

The story of how I came to present at Drupal Camp Florida 2024 began in the previous year, with what someone called my “Dharizza World Tour”! I attended Drupal events in six cities throughout 2023, and ended up being invited to several more as a result. 

 

At DrupalCon Lille in October 2023, I presented a session on how to improve the Layout Builder user experience. In the audience was Michael Herchel, a member of the Drupal Association Board of Directors and lead developer of Olivero. He and Amy June Hineline (a Drupal core mentor and A11yTalks organizer) invited me to bring my Layout Builder session to the next Florida DrupalCamp. 

 

That camp was last week, and the official start to Dharizza World Tour 2024! In this blog post, I’ll catch you up on the talks I attended as well as some fun experiences from the camp (featuring rockets and fake animals, oddly!). 

Friday, February 23

Presenting to a big crowd (and one unlikely guest)

The DrupalCamp kicked off at Florida Technical College with several training sessions, including one from Lisa Ridley on how to make designer-developer collaboration easier. She had some excellent advice on leveraging FIGMA features and plugins for effective design implementations.

Growth: Embracing Success Through Progress

Posted by The Drop Times - 25 Mar 2024 at 17:09 UTC
Explore the journey of growth with Drupal: Uncover the essence of progress and its transformative benefits.

Dear Subscribers, 

Sometimes, growth hinges on the effort we invest—the sweat equity makes all the difference. It's an ongoing journey that reminds us of our potential for continual advancement. Growth isn't just a milestone; it's a guiding force steering us toward realizing there's always more to achieve.

Let's take a moment to appreciate Drupal's remarkable evolution in this spirit of perpetual progress. With an ever-expanding community and a track record of powering some of the world's most influential websites, Drupal continues to ascend in popularity and capability. Its open-source ethos fosters collaboration, driving collective growth and empowerment for all involved.

As Drupal flourishes, so do its users. Its robust features and scalability ensure that businesses and organizations can adapt and thrive in today's dynamic environment. Drupal's unwavering commitment to security and its ever-growing community sets it apart from other CMS platforms. The truth that cannot be denied is the level of security it provides, which remains unmatched in the industry. Moreover, Drupal excels in providing customer-centric and personalized user experiences, empowering organizations to tailor their digital presence to the unique needs of their audience.

However, what truly propels Drupal's growth to unprecedented levels is its community-driven ethos. With a vast network of developers, designers, and enthusiasts collaborating and contributing tirelessly, Drupal evolves rapidly, staying ahead of the curve in innovation and adaptability. This collective effort fosters a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring that Drupal remains at the forefront of technological advancements.

Now, Let's take a moment to revisit the highlights from last week's coverage at The Drop Times.

DrupalSouth 2024 day 2 wrap-up

Posted by Salsa Digital - 25 Mar 2024 at 12:00 UTC
Beyond buzzwords: demystifying diversity and inclusion Suchi : Amazing talk! Panel discussion of three panelists and one moderator, all from Girls in Tech.  They shared their experiences of not feeling included at different points in their lives and what people can do to make sure that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is not just a buzzword (phrase) but is actually embraced in organisations.  Paul : Great discussion on diversity and inclusion.  While the theme was girls in tech and the examples of unconscious gender bias and real-world challenges of the panel members made it all real, the most powerful takeaways were actually more generally about inclusion and providing every person an opportunity to be heard and succeed.  Very simple message on driving inclusion, “Ask people!

Drupal 11.0 will require PHP 8.3 and MySQL 8.0

Posted by Drupal Core News - 25 Mar 2024 at 11:08 UTC

Drupal 11 development has reached a point where the system requirements are being raised in the development branch. To prepare core developers for this and to inform the community at large, we are announcing the following requirements for Drupal 11.

Webserver

We announced in mid-February that there is an RFC to remove support for Windows in production. Other webserver requirements are unchanged.

PHP

Drupal 11 will require PHP 8.3 and older versions of PHP are not supported. Note that as of Drupal 9.4, a policy was adopted to automatically drop support for PHP versions no longer supported by the PHP maintainers, so future minor versions of Drupal 11 will increase the requirement further.

Database

The minimum database requirements for backends supported by Drupal 11 are MySQL 8.0, MariaDB 10.6, PostgreSQL 16 and SQLite 3.45.

Composer

Similar to Drupal 10.2, Drupal 11 will require Composer 2.7.0 or newer; this change was made for the Composer security fix released in February 2024.

Browsers

The existing browser policy has not changed and there was no need to update it for Drupal 11. Drupal already drops support for older versions of browsers as new ones get released.

PHP and JavaScript dependencies

Drupal 11 will depend on Symfony 7, PHPUnit 10 and jQuery 4, work is ongoing to update to these versions'.

Pitchburgh update March 2024

Posted by Drupal.org blog - 25 Mar 2024 at 09:05 UTC

As the Pitchburgh projects are reaching their final milestones and they get completed, I wanted to do something new for this update, something different and, hopefully, something exciting and fun as well.

For this update I asked a few of them to provide a demo or video, so the project leads could explain in their own words, what their projects are about and how they look. I thought that it would be specially interesting for the projects that are more technical (which in turn, are difficult to understand for the less technical people) but really, nice for the rest of them as well, so after those many months just reading updates about them, we could actually see them giving some updates “in the flesh”. If applicable, we will also review next steps for those projects, as some of them (a few actually) will continue beyond Pitchburgh funding.

And I want to emphasize that last point. We need to think how amazing it is that, a seed capital like Pitchburgh has not just accomplished so much, but it has also started something bigger, something that will go beyond the scope of Pitchburgh and will continue to provide a lot of value for the community and Drupal even after the funding is finished.

Ok, let’s start with the projects that have completed all their milestones and are finished or mostly finished in the scope of Pitchburgh.

Access policy

Kristiaan´s Access Policy code has been merged into core, and we couldn’t be more excited, as his work is the first Pitchburgh project that made it into core (of the two projects that will have code contributed to core).

Kristiaan continues his work and conversations with the core maintainers team to get the next part committed, which is to make core itself run on the API. All the work is finished, it just needs to be reviewed and committed

 Insights from DrupalCamp New Jersey

It's not easy to do this without also increasing awareness and knowledge of the tools we all use along with Drupal as well, which makes the gatherings all the more valuable.
