Dripyard at DrupalCon Vienna: Mike Herchel’s Dual Sessions on Contributions and Theming

Staff Reporter

Mike Herchel of Dripyard is heading to DrupalCon Vienna, where he’ll present two sessions: one co-led with Matt Glaman on making meaningful contributions to Drupal, and another on the evolving landscape of theming powered by AI and Drupal Canvas.

On Wednesday at 4:15 pm, Mike Herchel and Matt Glaman will co-present "How to Land an EPIC Contribution in Drupal (Without Losing Your Mind)". The session walks through the full lifecycle of a major contribution — from identifying issues and building teams to pushing patches and encouraging commit approvals. Their past collaborations include UI enhancements like toggling Twig debugging and cache disabling directly from the admin interface.

On Thursday, also at 4:15 pm, Mike will reprise his session "The Future of Drupal Theming: AI, Drupal Canvas, and Beyond," updated since DrupalCon Atlanta with the latest on Experience Builder’s stability, new theming best practices, and AI-driven workflows.

Throughout the event, Mike invites hallway chats about Drupal and will be demoing Dripyard’s premium themes for those curious to test or explore their latest offerings.
