Drupal Open University Initiative Announces Next Meetup on October 25

Staff Reporter

The Drupal Open University Initiative has officially kicked off, to integrate Drupal into academic programs and nurture the next generation of open-source developers. Announced by Jean-Paul Vosmeer, COO and founder of React Online, the initiative aims to provide students, educators, and guest lecturers with comprehensive, open-source-driven courses focused on Drupal. By doing so, it hopes to empower participants to contribute to both the Drupal platform and the wider open-source ecosystem.

The initiative is seeking passionate contributors, with the next meetup scheduled for Friday, October 25th at 10:00 CET. Those interested in joining can connect via the Drupal Slack channel (#open-university-initiative) or access the version 0.1 slide deck, outlining the initiative’s track setup here. If you would like to receive an invite for future meetups, please respond with your email address on the Slack channel.
