A new chapter for the Drupal Association - and why I want you in it

The Drupal Association is changing CEOs, and the community reacted with the intensity it usually reserves for controversy. Jürgen, who sent the DA a formal four-page letter of concern in May, makes the case for constructive engagement over outrage. Leadership means disappointing half the room on almost every decision - disagree with choices without turning decision-makers into enemies. The practical call to action is the 2026 board election. Become a member now to earn the right to vote. If you are already a member, vote. Show up on the quiet days, not only when the alarm goes off. A transition is rare - a moment where the direction is genuinely open.
