For the past three years, the Drupal Advent Calendar has spotlighted shiny new modules, clever projects, and all sorts of open-source goodness.

This year we’re hanging up our “new module smell” stockings and doing something different.

It’s time to celebrate the people, the elves, reindeer, and magical snow-folks who keep the Drupal project running behind the scenes.

Welcome back for the final door of the 2024 Advent Calendar. We’ve already covered all 22 tracks of the Starshot initiative, as well as some non-track aspects. For our final door, we are looking at something that is absent from the initial release of Drupal CMS, but is hoped to come to fruition in 2025 and revolutionise website theming.

Once more, we welcome you back to the Drupal Advent Calendar, to see what’s behind door number twenty-two. Today we are welcoming back an old friend, the Gin Admin Theme which was covered all the way back in Door 1 of the 2023 Drupal Advent Calendar.

Welcome back for day 19 of the Drupal Advent Calendar, and today we are welcoming Suzanne Dergacheva and Will Huggins to tell us about the marketing of Drupal CMS.

The Starshot marketing track has been focused on designing the website content and journeys that will promote Drupal CMS, attracting new audiences of marketers, designers and content creators that may never have previously considered Drupal. You can see the first wave of this content.

Welcome back for day 18, as we enter the last week to the big day - I mean the arrival of Father Christmas, not the launch of Drupal CMS!

Today we are looking at publishing workflows in Drupal CMS

Something that many content management systems have offered out-of-the-box is the ability to specify a date and time when a piece of content will be published. This has also been available in Drupal for a very long time, but has always required installation of extra modules - until now.
