We invite all Drupalers in Bogotá to celebrate the launch of Drupal 7 at Bogota Beer Company on 139th Street at 6 PM. We hope to gather as many people as possible and have a toast!

In this article we will show you how to prepare an environment to start developing in Drupal 8 and take advantage of the power of an IDE.

Drupal, as a content management system (CMS) with wide global coverage, has evolved its platform towards version 7 and brings with it the possibility of generating content and proposals directly related to Web 3.0. The user community has contributed to updating and improving the interaction and usability of Drupal.

Perhaps you feel that Drupal 8 came out not long ago and you are already being talked about upgrading to Drupal 9 which came out in the middle of last year and you are worried about the investment you will have to make for this upgrade.

Surely you have heard that Drupal is more than a traditional CMS, it is often said that it is like a Framework because from the base of the existing components you can create a whole universe of solutions that can even support the digital ecosystem of a company, in this article we want to share with you some generic architectures to which Drupal can adapt to support the solution you want to build, to write this article we have based on the paper published by Phase2 on its website.

Drupal 9 is the materialization of what the community has been working on throughout Drupal 8 over all these years, a version that means the complete adoption of the model of continuous innovation and regular update cycles that have allowed that for the first time in the existence of the project, a major update does not imply a reconstruction and migration.

This is great news for the Drupal community, Google has accepted 20 Drupal projects for the 2011 Google Summer of Code, representing an investment of $110,000 US by Google for these projects.

In Drupal 10, the Classy theme has been replaced by the new Starterkit theme builder. The Starterkit theme builder is now the recommended way to create new themes, rather than setting a theme's base theme - a core theme such as Classy. Note that this is specific to creating new themes, and there are no automated tools to convert existing themes to take advantage of Starterkit.

It is time to prepare for the launch of Drupal 10, since the scheduled date is two months from now in December. The Drupal 10 page on Drupal.org contains all the information you'll need to ensure you have a smooth upgrade to Drupal 10.

With Drupal 10 we are upgrading from CKEditor 4 to CKEditor 5. While the two versions are mostly very similar, version 5 looks more modern and refined. The interface is simplified and certainly in UX design, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Version 5 does not rely on contextual menus, so it is more compatible with touch devices than version 4.
