The Drupal Association is conducting its first-ever Drupal Ecosystem Retrospective. This is a good opportunity to directly give the Drupal Association your candid feedback and thoughts about what you feel is going well and what needs improvement in the Drupalverse.

The due date for filling this out is September 20, 2026 (I have no idea if there’s a specific time; I’m just a random Drupaler who wants as many people in our community to be heard). The due date happens to be the weekend before the Drupal Association’s board retreat and shortly before DrupalCon Rotterdam.

Anyways, please consider filling this out and/or sharing with other fellow Drupalists!

That is:

- 7:59pm Eastern, Aug 17
- 4:59pm Pacific, Aug 17

This election uses approval voting: rather than picking just one candidate, you may vote for every candidate you approve of, and the candidate approved by the most voters wins. More on how approval voting works:
