The last two years have been eventful for most of us, and the Drupal community is no exception to that. From the shift to online DrupalCons and their return to in person this year, to new releases of Drupal and the revisiting of old ones, it’s been a momentous time. Drupal 7 was originally scheduled to reach end of life (community support) in November of 2021.

Drupal 7 End of Life (D7 EOL) postponed until at least November 2023

lynette@tag1consulting.com — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 20:10:04 +0000

Drupal 7 End of Life (EOL) was originally planned for Nov. 2020, about ten years after the initial release of the platform. Given the large user base, this was subsequently extended to Nov. 2021. Then, to provide relief and support for everyone impacted by the pandemic Drupal 7 End of Life was extended another year, to Nov. 2022. The pandemic continues to have a major impact on our lives and our businesses and there continues to be a very large user base with over 550,000 websites running the framework - an awesome testament to how great of a platform it is. As such, the security team, and the founder of Drupal, as well as Tag1 and the other Drupal 7 Extended Support (D7ES) providers, felt extending the date another year was the best thing for Drupal and the Drupal community. To support the community, leadership has decided that D7 EOL will be postponed again, until Nov. 2023, and then re-assessed annually thereafter. The official PSA 2022-02-23 announcing this new change has just been posted. We are here to answer your questions, and can provide insight and guidance to help you plan next steps and make decisions that are best for...

With hundreds of thousands of users, and many thousands of pieces of content, a migration is a detailed and time intensive process that requires careful planning. In part 2 of our Tag1 Team Talk with the APQC, Tag1 Managing Director Michael Meyers talks with John Tesmer, the Executive Director of Information Technology, and Jim Gillilan, Senior Architect and Lead of the Technology team at APQC, about their migration to Drupal 9, and their future plans.
