Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

NOVEMBER 21, 2008

A while ago, I joined a bunch of groups at groups.drupal.org , thinking I’d pick up some interesting ideas, and meet some folks who were doing cool stuff with Drupal. One of the groups I joined (along with “Drupal for Good&# and “Drupalchix&# ) was the PostgreSQL group. Yesterday, in my RSS feed, this post showed up.

Drupal Day is so much more than a pre-conference event at NTC; it is an opportunity for community to come together, learn, and explore. Drupal Day has come and gone, and while the event itself goes by in the blink of an eye, the lessons learned resonate long after the conference ends. Stephanie Gutowski.

I’ve implemented CiviCRM together with Drupal, and I’m really psyched to keep working with this great combo. CiviCRM originally only integrated with Drupal, but recently a lot of work has been done to also integrate CiviCRM with Joomla. CiviCRM acts in Drupal like a module, and in Joomla like a component.

Composable has displaced the concept of the all-in-one DXP and allows for different pieces of a tech stack to be moved in and out over time without a complete rebuild. On the open-source front, Drupal and WordPress have been a little slower to move when it comes to Composable Architecture. for Drupal.

At Forum One, we build a lot of sites and applications with Drupal and WordPress, and both content management systems incorporate layout features out of the box. In Drupal 8+, that’s Layout Builder. Aside from supporting Layout Builder and Block Editor, we had other reasons for reassessing our approach to design and tech collaboration.

There are some amazingly good blogs out there focused on the use of Drupal and other open source tools. I’ll still be building websites (and their successors) for the foreseeable future with Drupal, and perhaps with whichever cool, new open source development framework comes next after Drupal becomes irrelevant (it will, eventually).

I used to have two blogs on WP – this blog and my personal blog, but I moved my personal (and author blog) to Drupal, to integrate it with other stuff I had online. Drupal – I use Drupal for my personal blog and also other purposes, like the website for my intentional community. I love how easy it is to use.

I went to some interesting sessions on Ubercart, Organic Groups, and a BoF on Drupal in churches (where I wondered about the theological spectrum, and guessed was populated mostly by evangelicals.) I think, also, I’ve completely drunk the Drupal koolaid. I met lots of great people, and saw old and new friends.

As WordPress became more capable, Joomla and Drupal lost market share; their shrinking support communities translated into higher maintenance costs. Other changes included the rise of accessibility and privacy legislation. Similarly, we’ve seen the coming and going of content management systems (CMSs) over the years.

Also, it coincides with a new installation of Drupal for my consulting website , using the same basic template (called “ Blueprint “). I’d been working with Drupal for NOSI (we’ve had the site in Drupal for a while now,) but I’d never installed and configured and messed with Drupal from scratch, so I did that.

Drawing from experience, we have a few ideas about why that could be, and how Drupal can help. Drupal gets updated and maintained by millions of developers (a lot like Wikipedia). Drupal can connect to almost anything. Drupal can integrate with almost any platform, regardless of how old or specific. Keep Your Staff Happy.
