There's been a quiet but meaningful shift within the Drupal community-not in what we're building, but in how we organise and plan for the future. Governance and long-term strategy have moved closer to the centre of conversation. While not entirely new, these topics are now gaining clearer structure and attention.

Earlier this year, a multi-year strategic roadmap for Drupal core (2025-2028) was outlined through community consultation and closed for comments in August 2025. The roadmap prioritises improving contributor experience, refining release management, and sustaining platform stability. The strategy now guides Drupal's core direction over the next three years.

Alongside this, the Drupal Association and contributors are focusing on project governance. In a governance update published in late 2024, the Drupal Association outlined efforts to clarify working group roles, improve leadership transparency, and ensure that contributors-especially from underrepresented regions-can more easily participate in project decision-making.

These governance efforts are supported by the publicly documented Drupal Governance Overview, which outlines the decision-making process and assigns responsibilities across the project.

These aren't flashy reforms, but they reflect Drupal's commitment to stability, community participation, and long-term resilience. For contributors, developers, and agency partners, they represent essential groundwork for how Drupal evolves and who gets to shape its future.
