Staff Reporter

A recent blog post by 1xINTERNET recaps DrupalCamp Ruhr 2025. Held at the long-time venue Unperfekthaus in Essen, DrupalCamp Ruhr 2025 drew nearly 100 participants for a weekend of grassroots collaboration. The camp followed a barcamp-style format, with most sessions proposed live each morning, encouraging spontaneous contribution from attendees across roles and skill levels.

Highlights included Artem Dmitriiev’s session on the new FieldWidgetActions submodule in AI Core 1.2.0, enabling custom actions on any Drupal field. The topic will also feature at DrupalCon Europe. Yannick Leyendecker demonstrated Figma workflows for Drupal theming, while Dr. Christoph Breidert and Baddy Sonja Breidert traced the evolution of the Drupal AI Initiative. Cristina Chumillas delivered a keynote titled Drupal CMS Now and Beyond, outlining the project’s current strengths and future direction.

The weekend also featured the annual meeting of Drupal e.V., the German Drupal Association, and vibrant social activities, including the traditional Nerdquiz and community meetups in downtown Essen. Organizers emphasized the value of in-person gatherings for strengthening collaboration and knowledge sharing within the Drupal community.
