DrupalCon News & Updates: AI in Drupal: from experimentation to real impact
At DrupalCon Rotterdam 2026, AI takes its place at the heart of how modern Drupal platforms are built, integrated, and scaled. The Development, AI & Agentic Architecture track puts that front and centre-focusing on complex architectures, automation, and intelligent systems in real-world environments.
This is not about hype. It's about what's already changing.
AI is moving from experimentation to everyday use-powering intelligent search, automating workflows, enabling personalization, and supporting content creation. It's reshaping how digital teams operate and how platforms deliver value.
But with that power comes responsibility.
In the Drupal ecosystem, AI is being approached with a clear focus on privacy, transparency, accountability, security, resilience, and human control. This is where the conversation gets real-and where Drupal stands out.
From possibility to practice
At DrupalCon, the key question isn't just what AI can do. It's how to use it effectively in complex, production-ready environments.
Teams are actively exploring:
- How to integrate AI without introducing unnecessary complexity
- How to protect data while maintaining performance and scalability
- How to ensure systems remain transparent, governed, and maintainable over time
These are not theoretical challenges-they're critical decisions shaping the next generation of digital platforms.
Why Drupal leads this conversation
Drupal provides a unique foundation for making AI practical.
Here, AI is not explored in isolation, It's applied within structured content models, complex workflows, deep integrations, and strong governance frameworks-all backed by open-source principles.
For attendees, this makes AI more than a trend. It becomes a tangible, actionable part of modern Drupal delivery.
Be part of what's next
DrupalCon Rotterdam 2026 is where AI moves from idea to implementation.
If you want to understand how intelligent systems are being applied in real Drupal projects-and how to use them responsibly and effectively-this is where the conversation happens.

The Drop Times: Mike Gifford: Accessibility Must Move Upstream in Public-Sector Open Source
Accessibility failures often surface after budgets, architecture, and delivery plans are already fixed. Mike Gifford argues that public agencies can reduce that pattern by contributing fixes upstream.

Planet PHP
ezSystems are classy folks
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...
