Exciting news: Drupal CMS 1.0 officially launched today — right on schedule, just as we promised 8 months ago! It took a lot from so many people, but I'm thrilled we made it happen. A BIG thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.

This release is a major milestone, making Drupal more user-friendly and powerful than ever. Built on Drupal 11, it introduces innovative features like AI agents for site building, nearly 30 pre-configured recipes for faster setup, and tools that simplify maintenance — all while staying true to the open-source way: collaborative and community-driven.

In my blog post, I not only explain what Drupal CMS 1.0 is but also share my personal perspective on what makes this release special, the journey behind its development, and what is next.

Oh, and to top it off — it's Drupal's 24th birthday today. Happy birthday, Drupal!  🎉🍦
