Greg Dunlap talks pinball, Core Initiatives, and the future of Drupal

lynette@tag1consulting.com — Wed, 13 Jul 2022 18:42:48 +0000

Greg Dunlap (aka gdd or heyrocker), former Drupal Initiative lead and pinball enthusiast and current Director of Strategy at Lullabot, joins Tag1 Consulting’s Managing Director Michael Meyers in this Tag1 Team Talk in our 20 years of Drupal series. Greg is another individual who took an unusual route into programming and open source work with projects like Drupal. Over 15 years, Greg’s experience in Drupal has led him from one US coast to the other, and across the world to Sweden. While Greg started programming in high school, his experiences have taken him through photography and photojournalism, building slot and pinball machines, and then into Open Source software. In this interview, Michael and Greg talk about the differences between Greg’s early experiences and the Drupal project, how things have changed, and the future of Drupal. Greg also talks about his time as the Drupal initiative lead for Configuration Management (CMI), and the ups and downs of that work. --- For a transcript of this video, see Transcript - 20 years of Drupal with Greg Dunlap. --- Photo by Heather McKean on Unsplash.

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...

Drupal 10 is coming

lynette@tag1consulting.com — Mon, 29 Nov 2021 12:00:29 +0000

Drupal development never stops. Drupal 9 was released on June 3, 2020, and that’s already a year behind us. Drupal 10’s target date is June 2022! As long as 2020 was, 2022 seemed a long way away, but it definitely is not. As Drupal continues to progress, Drupal users and developers get more used to the consistent framework Drupal is built on. Planning ahead for everything from new features, to software upgrades, is faster and simpler than ever before. ## Listening to the Symfony November 2023 is the target end of life (EOL) date for Symfony 4. Drupal versions have to keep up with supported versions of Symfony. Drupal 8’s end of life (EOL) is determined by Symfony 3’s EOL date, which is part of why the EOL date for D8 was not extended, even though Drupal 7’s was. Drupal versions have to keep up with supported versions of Symfony. Compatibility with later Symfony versions may come sooner, to ensure cross-compatibility in Drupal. ## Ease of upgrades Drupal 8 to 9 was probably the easiest major version upgrade in the history of Drupal, because Drupal 9 was built on the same framework, only removing deprecated code. With the conversion to...

On 20 Years of Drupal - an interview with James Rutherford

lynette@tag1consulting.com — Mon, 18 Oct 2021 14:07:40 +0000

Tag1 continues its series celebrating 20 Years of Drupal in this Tag1 Team Talk with Pantheon’s Senior Manager of Strategic Partnerships, James Rutherford. Before moving to Pantheon, James was a long time member of Mediacurrent, one of the largest agencies working with and creating Drupal websites. James joins Tag1 Managing Director Michael Meyers for another trip down the halls of Drupal history, from early versions of Drupal, to today’s highly experienced agencies. James' initial Drupal experience was with Georgia Public Broadcasting. Over the years, James has worked with many clients - some of whom moved to Drupal from their homegrown CMS, to major launches such as weather.com. Join us for this talk, and learn more about how it’s not just the code - it’s the community that makes Drupal successful. --- For a transcript of this video, see Transcript - 20 years of Drupal with James Rutherford. --- Photo by Moritz Kindler on Unsplash

Funding your open source projects - a talk with Matt Glaman

lynette@tag1consulting.com — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 14:05:10 +0000

It’s no surprise to anyone in the open source software world, or any business, that funding is the center of how things get done. While some parts of projects are funded by their foundations (when these exist), most projects are maintained by independent developers or teams working in their spare time. In this Tag1 Team Talk, Managing Director Michael Meyers is joined by Matt Glaman, maintainer of Drupal-check. Drupal-check, based on PHPstan, is a static analysis tool for checking Drupal code for bugs and deprecations.

A Deep Dive on Decoupling Applications: Decoupled Drupal - Past, Present, and Future - Part 2

lynette@tag1consulting.com — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 13:03:41 +0000

Decoupled Drupal is now a fixture of the Drupal community and ecosystem, but it has roots in key software concepts like the separation of concerns. Today, decoupled Drupal is commonplace across the Drupal world, not only at the highest echelons of enterprise implementations of Drupal but also among smaller consultancies beginning to get their feet wet with headless CMS architecture.
