This episode captures highlights from the Drupal Community Summit, offering an inside look into the initiatives and conversations shaping the future of the Drupal open-source ecosystem. In the first segment, community leaders introduce the "New to Drupal" initiative, aimed at better onboarding experiences for newcomers, followed by an open AMA session addressing event planning, module stewardship, and revitalizing local meetups.

The second segment features a fireside chat with the Drupal Association CEO, who delves into the organization’s strategic priorities and sustainability efforts. Lightning talks then showcase innovative community-led efforts, including mentorship programs for inexperienced developers, a new event platform, and a collaborative member engagement tool. The summit concludes with a forward-thinking session on sociocracy—a governance model designed to enhance inclusion and shared decision-making within the Drupal community.

Whether you’re a core contributor, site builder, or just curious about how open source communities thrive, this episode offers thoughtful insights and grassroots energy from DrupalCon 2025.
