In addition, its success stems on a well-organized open-source ecosystem, an active community, and contributions from amazing developers around the world. Together with Insights from Dries Buytaert, Founder and Project Lead of Drupal this keynote will explore Drupal’s evolving strengths, with a focus on recent innovations that simplify the creation of flexible software solutions. The introduction of the "Recipes" approach has made this process more efficient, contributing to the development of the new "Drupal CMS". Drupal CMS is designed to be both powerful and user-friendly, offering a strong foundation for small projects while providing the scalability needed for larger, more complex ones. In addition, a message from Tim Doyle, CEO of the Drupal Association, will shed some light on the recent projects and the organisational structures behind the Drupal Association aiming to empower local communities to thrive. This KeyNote will discuss Drupal's ongoing impact on the web and its potential for the future, giving insight into what’s ahead with Drupal CMS and the Drupal Community false https://event.drupalmountaincamp.ch/drupal-mountain-camp-2025/talk/AMYHPM/ https://event.drupalmountaincamp.ch/drupal-mountain-camp-2025/talk/AMYHPM/feedback/ Parsenn Talk (50 min, Q&A included) 2025-03-11T11:25:00+01:00 11:25 00:50 We all need to work with clients that need things done. Like in every human relationship, sometimes you need to make compromises. This session is about the confrontations when things don’t work out as planned. When it’s about money and about delivering what was promised — and when you can’t. This session is the follow from Imre Gmelig Meijling’s talk ‘Who cares about Drupal? How to win the hearts and minds of businesses’ at Drupal MountainCamp 2019. It shares real-life examples from smaller and enterprise projects and ways to make those compromises.

Clients that need things done, putting pressure on, being happy, being unhappy, getting the most out of your project. Like in every human relationship, making websites calls for compromises and the need to give and take, by all of us, including your client. This requires essential ingredients of understanding, openness, passion and creativity which are key in making software development a success and ensuring happy relationships. Which often seems quite hard to achieve. How do you do it? This session is about the confrontations about contracts and when things don’t work out as planned. When it’s about money and about delivering what was promised — and when you can’t. And about those uneasy moments we all experience when we work with clients, for good or for worse. This session is the follow up on Imre’s talk ‘Who cares about Drupal? How to win the hearts and minds of businesses’ at Drupal MountainCamp 2019. He also presented in 2016 at DrupalCamp Helsinki and DrupalCon Dublin. This follow up session will cover how to sell, manage and deliver digital projects with inexperienced Agile teams. It’s about contending contracts and how to divert from requirements and obligations, if you need to. Imre will share more real-life examples from his 25 year experience as digital professional and tell you how to overcome fears by being open, fair and remaining tenacious in your methods and your client-relationships.

In the tech industry, it’s particularly common to meet neurodivergent people – such as those with ADHD, Autism, or who identify as Highly Sensitive People (HSP). When given the right environment neurodivergent individuals offer superpowers many companies are dreaming of: hyper-focus, spotting patterns, empathy, strong intuition, and creativity. It’s time to stop seeing neurodivergence as a deficit and start consciously managing the neurological setting of your workforce. Embracing neurodiversity not only helps address mental health challenges and improve business outcomes. It’s a competitive advantage in business. Companies that leverage the strengths of a neurodiverse team are better equipped to innovate, solve complex problems, and thrive in an ever-changing world. drupal-mountain-camp-2025-59821-neurodiversity-an-underrated-superpower-in-business Keynote /media/drupal-mountain-camp-2025/submissions/FESEZY/Vera-Herzm_8y3wVo9.jpg Vera Herzmann en Takeaways: 1.

Typesense may be the right solution; it's flexible, powerful, open source, and integrated with Drupal (using the Search API module). drupal-mountain-camp-2025-59749-search-api-meets-typesense Innovation & Beyond Drupal lussoluca en Search is usually one of the features of a website that is underestimated and left at the end of the project. You can install the Search API module, and you're done with it, right? Well, things are more complex than that, and nowadays, users are getting used to powerful search engines like the ones used to search the Web. We expect search results in milliseconds, enhanced by AI, and targeted to us. In recent years, a new generation of platforms and tools has emerged to provide this set of features; some are paid SaaS, but others are open source. Typesense is an open-source search engine written in C++ that is fast, typo-tolerant, and easy to integrate into a Drupal website. With features such as search-as-you-type, faceted navigation, semantic search, LLM augmentation, synonyms, and curations, Typesense has what your users are looking for, and the Search API Typesense module (https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_typesense) covers most of it. In this session, we'll discuss installing and configuring a Typesense instance, using Search API to index our content to Typesense, and writing JavaScript code to build a fully decoupled, state-of-the-art search experience. false https://event.drupalmountaincamp.ch/drupal-mountain-camp-2025/talk/PQSV8H/ https://event.drupalmountaincamp.ch/drupal-mountain-camp-2025/talk/PQSV8H/feedback/ Parsenn Talk (50 min, Q&A included) 2025-03-12T16:35:00+01:00 16:35 00:50 GraphQL enables Drupal, Gutenberg, and frontend frameworks to communicate seamlessly, creating exciting possibilities.

Who first introduced “data-driven” approaches in industry? And would medieval peasants have preferred Waterfall or Agile? By examining how people and project management practices have evolved—and the reasons behind these changes - we can gain insights into how we should work today. drupal-mountain-camp-2025-58502-agile-from-the-stone-age-a-brief-history-of-people-and-project-management-practices Processes & Tools /media/drupal-mountain-camp-2025/submissions/9YPTPP/Agile_from_mebbHuL.png Oleksii Molozhanov en Many of us start our careers with Agile as the default project management approach.. While we focus on engineering, user needs, and product development, which are essential, it’s easy to overlook a critical question: Why do we work this way? We’ve all heard, “We use Agile because it’s better than Waterfall.” Most of us are satisfied with this answer and continue with our sprint planning, 1:1s, and busy schedules. But have you ever wondered: Why was there a Waterfall in the first place? What came before that? And did people organise into 5-7 people cross functional teams in past centuries? This talk dives into the history of people and project management, tracing the practices that have shaped how we work today and the context, the time, in which those practices emerged. We’ll explore how people throughout history managed projects, structured work, and navigated change. false https://event.drupalmountaincamp.ch/drupal-mountain-camp-2025/talk/9YPTPP/ https://event.drupalmountaincamp.ch/drupal-mountain-camp-2025/talk/9YPTPP/feedback/ Parsenn Talk (50 min, Q&A included) 2025-03-13T14:30:00+01:00 14:30 00:50 The Geofield Stack, featuring modules like Geofield, Leaflet, and Geocoder, empowers Drupal to handle complex geographic data while delivering engaging visual representations to end users.
