A Year on The Record
Dear Readers,
This issue marks the conclusion of Volume 3 of Editor’s Pick and the final newsletter of the year. As we close 2025, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to everyone who has followed The DropTimes, engaged with our work, and trusted us as a source of record for the Drupal ecosystem.
Over the past year, The DropTimes has continued its effort to document Drupal as more than a technology. Through news, interviews, events, case studies, and curated updates, we have focused on capturing the people, contributions, and decisions that collectively shape the community. Our work is guided by the belief that visibility, continuity, and context are essential for any open-source ecosystem to remain healthy and sustainable.
As a not-for-profit, community-driven initiative, our responsibility goes beyond publishing content. We see The DropTimes as part of the ecosystem it covers, with a duty to support makers, amplify meaningful work, and encourage shared responsibility. This perspective informs our editorial choices and reinforces our commitment to independence, fairness, and long-term relevance.
In 2026, we will continue to build on this foundation with sharper editorial focus, improved processes, and deeper engagement with the community we serve. Your feedback plays an important role in shaping this work, and we welcome your thoughts at editor@thedroptimes.com
Thank you for being part of this journey, and we look forward to continuing it with renewed purpose in the year ahead. With that, for one last time in 2025, let's spotlight the key stories form last week.
