This page is a blog post on Dries Buytaert’s personal site, publishing the September 2026 State of Drupal presentation from DrupalCon Rotterdam. As the founder of Drupal, Buytaert uses this blog to share project direction and community updates directly with readers.
The post centers on the gap between Drupal’s current capabilities and how it is perceived outside the community. It reviews how Drupal Starshot became Drupal CMS, bringing together Site Templates, Recipes, Drupal AI, and Drupal Canvas, while Drupal Core has also matured as a developer framework.
It also introduces three themes: reaching more people, opening Drupal’s capabilities to other software, and talking louder about Drupal. A new advocacy program is announced to help more people see what Drupal can do today.
The content suits Drupal developers, site builders, contributors, and anyone tracking open-source CMS trends. Readers can use it to understand recent product changes and community priorities.
For best results, read it alongside the keynote video and related Drupal CMS documentation, and check the blog archive for earlier State of Drupal posts to follow changes over time.
