DrupalCamp Ottawa 2026 will take place on 1 May 2026 at the Canada Science and Technology Museum, continuing its free, community-driven format. This year's programme reflects a shift toward practical adoption, with sessions centred on Drupal 11, accessibility, multilingual delivery, and AI integration. Organisers describe the event as designed to balance technical depth with open participation, bringing together local and global contributors across disciplines.

Jacob Rockowitz: Drupal (AI) Playground: Using the AI Schema.org JSON-LD module to "feed the machines"

Preamble

I've been discussing and committed to a Schema.org-first approach to building content models in Drupal for several years. Along the way, someone described Schema.org as "food for machines."

Originally, for Schema.org "machines" meant search engines; now it definitely means AIs and LLMs. Defining and generating accurate, well-structured Schema.org JSON-LD for a website is challenging and often treated as an afterthought. Even if you use my Schema.org Blueprints to create a Schema.org-first content model, it still requires significant work to set up and maintain.

AI can analyze vast amounts of information and provide instant answers to complex questions, or complete challenging tasks within minutes. Last year, I began to see how one could prompt an AI to recommend the ideal Schema.org JSON-LD markup by providing URLs to example content and linking to the appropriate Schema.org types and properties. Keep in mind that the LLMs behind AIs understand every public webpage and actively examine every piece of Schema.org markup on the web.

This realization led me to the notion that in Drupal, we can leverage our existing AI modules and tools to have AIs generate Schema.org JSON-LD markup for content with as little as a well-thought-out prompt.

Before I introduce you to my AI Schema.org JSON-LD module, three things need to be stated immediately and will be addressed in this post and a follow-up.

The remainder of this post is directly copied from the module's project page, with the understanding that additional posts are needed to cover the implications of this module for developers, such as myself, and for site builders and owners.

The Drop Times: Fast Code, Faster Debt: Why Eduardo Telaya Built Drupal AI

Eduardo Telaya spent months reviewing Drupal code where the same AI-generated mistakes kept appearing across projects. Rather than treating them as isolated issues, he identified a structural gap between AI tools and Drupal best practices. That insight led to Drupal AI, a toolkit of skills, rules, and agents designed to guide coding assistants and reduce technical debt in AI-assisted development.

ezSystems are classy folks

cover
Last week I helped the folks at ezSystems debug some APC problems they were having. The problems ended up being a 64bit architecture problem (they have uber-fast Opterons) and the bug is now fixed in 2.0.3.

Today I received Python & XML from them (off my Amazon wishlist). Thanks guys!

On a side note, my wishlist seems borked. The list I get when I search on my email address or name is not the same one I can edit when I log into the site.

PHP april fools...

1st of April 2004 get's to it's end and I guess it's time, to summarize the recent April fools a bit. Not that I think anyone in the world believes in them, but some were quite funny:

1. Changes to case sensitivity in PHP.
Alan Knowles announced that PHP will change to the studlyCase API and therefor will get everything broken by changing established functions.

2. IBM takes over Zend.
Myself hacked a little article about IBM taking over Zend to make PHP a compete of Java.

3. The first PHP virus has been seen.
Wasn't there one last year, too?

4. PHP has been overtaken by Micro$oft.
Mhhh... a little bit unreliable, if they had been taken over by IBM this morning... Maybe one should first look, what others wrote...

5. And finally, PHP4 and 5 showed their real faces...
Take a look at a phpinfo() output!

I guess I missed some, so feel free to comment on this entry, if you found another!

PHP Virus Attacking Web Hosts

Symantec have a report of the virus here. I've yet to see any of the PHP news sites picking up on it but, using a virtual host account, managed to deliberately expose some PHP scripts to it. From examining the infected scripts, what's disturbing is once infected, every tim...
