Drupal Advent Calender 2025 - Call out to Initiative Leads

For the past three years, the Drupal Advent Calendar has spotlighted shiny new modules, clever projects, and all sorts of open-source goodness.

This year we’re hanging up our “new module smell” stockings and doing something different.

It’s time to celebrate the people, the elves, reindeer, and magical snow-folks who keep the Drupal project running behind the scenes.

This year’s theme is The People of Drupal, and we’re on a quest to find the unsung heroes who quietly make the magic happen.

We’re asking initiative leads to nominate someone from their project who’s made a meaningful impact but hasn’t received much recognition outside their own little Drupal workshop.

Since this community sparkles brightest when everyone’s included, we want the calendar to reflect Drupal’s beautiful diversity, including people of all genders, backgrounds, and experiences.

We know initiative leads are juggling deadlines, elves, and the occasional production bug, so we promise this will be quick. Just a few small questions, easy to answer between bites of gingerbread.

Your nominee will then get a slightly longer list, a chance to tell their story, share a few wins, and sprinkle in some personal flair.

We’ll stitch everything together into a festive little story behind their Advent calendar “door”.

Are you a leader of a Drupal initiative? Please go to this form!

Special thanks to AmyJune for help with the post.
