After discovering some campus entities were either using outdated UC Davis branding standards or not using them at all, Chancellor May has released a communication to address this concern.
The Bay Area Drupal Camp (BADCamp), hosted this year by UC Berkeley from October 18-21, is an annual gathering of members of the Drupal community to engage in all-day summits, training sessions, presentations, work sprints, and networking with social activities in the evenings.
We interviewed Alex Russell, one of SiteFarm's earliest adopters, to find out more about his journey in exploring the service and expanding beyond its framework to discover unique solutions to his web site needs.
One of the key reasons that Drupal has been successful is because we always made big, forward-looking changes. As a result, Drupal is one of very few CMSes that has stayed relevant for 15+ years. The downside is that with every major release of Drupal, we've gone through a lot of pain adjusting to these changes. The learning curve and difficult upgrade path from one major version of Drupal to the next (e.g. from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8) has also held back Drupal's momentum. In an ideal world, we'd be able to innovate fast yet provide a smooth learning curve and upgrade path from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9. We believe we've found a way to do both!

Updates to content workflow will appear in two different ways; content save states and workflow permissions prior to content being published.
Drupal 8 core introduces the concept of experimental modules. These are modules that are provided with Drupal core for testing purposes, but that are not yet fully supported.
This year’s North American Drupal convention was hosted in New Orleans this past May and, from all accounts, it was a tremendous success. Drupal’s creator, Dries Buytaert, gave the keynote address, discussing his proposed vision for the future of the Drupal Project. For those users who are new to Drupal, Buytaert himself subscribes to the ideal that development is community-led; he doesn’t set the agenda—users decide what to accomplish.
