For today’s door of the Drupal Advent Calendar, we are joined by John Picozzi, who wants to share the keynote from this year’s New England Drupal Camp. John writes…

Yesterday’s door was looking back at the launch of Drupal CMS 1.0, and today we look forward to CMS 2.0, which currently has an Alpha release available.

It is expected to launch early in 2026, though I suspect it won’t make it for Drupal’s 25th birthday.

For today’s door, we are taking you back to the very start of the year, as it’s the 11 month anniversary of the launch of Drupal CMS 1.0.

We’re taking you back to the launch party, which was a live event held on the 24th birthday of Drupal.

Today we are talking about a topic close to my heart: imposter syndrome. I have experienced it both in my Drupal activities and in other pursuits. But as a guy, I get that it tends to affect women much more than men in the tech industry. That’s why I was captivated by this talk from DrupalCon Nara:

Today we are looking at Member Platform, a community initiative to develop a general Drupal-based solution for membership organisations.

As we reach the mid-point of our Advent calendar, we have another guest entry, this one from Phil Alonso, to tell us about a talk he attended at Midcamp. Over to you Phil…

Today we are looking at Drupal Canvas, an exciting new way to build pages and theme sites in Drupal.

Today we hand over to AmyJune Hineline to tell us about the presentation behind today’s door…

EditTogether brings real-time collaborative editing, the familiar experience many people know from Google Docs, directly into Drupal while keeping full control of content in the hands of site owners.

As we enter the second week of our Advent calendar, we welcome Rachel Lawson, who recommended today’s talk from DrupalCamp England:
