ABOUT US

The Drop Times (TDT) is a dedicated news platform focused on celebrating and amplifying the global Drupal community—its contributors, companies, events, and impact. We report on everything shaping the Drupal ecosystem: from core releases and module innovations to community-led initiatives and success stories.

With Drupal as our primary focus, we also recognise the interconnectedness of the broader free and open-source software world. In particular, we spotlight projects that align with Drupal’s ecosystem and philosophy—such as Mautic, Symfony, and other PHP-based digital experience technologies. These tools not only complement Drupal but also shape the future of open source Digital Experience Platforms (DXPs).

We highlight the people and organisations that power these projects. They are the architects of the open web, and we consider it our mission to tell their stories—accurately, appreciatively, and globally.

We cover:

  • Contributions and milestones across Drupal and allied open-source projects
  • Global events like DrupalCons, DrupalCamps, and Mautic Conferences
  • Job opportunities in the open source ecosystem
  • Security updates, strategic initiatives, and technology trends

In short, we are here to inform, inspire, and connect everyone involved in building the future of digital experiences—with Drupal at the centre, and the open source world at heart.
