🚀 Exciting Updates from @DrupalConEur Barcelona! 🚀

By @esmoves2

The La_eu Site Project has taken another big leap forward! During a packed BoF session led by Bjorn Brala @bbrala, local associations and developers gathered to discuss the next steps for this shared codebase that powers Drupal association websites across Europe.

Originally developed by the Dutch Drupal Association @StichtingDrupal, this project allows local groups to quickly set up modern, localized Drupal sites, helping spread Drupal's brand with minimal effort. 🌍 With contributions from multiple countries already, like #DrupalNL, #DrupalFR, and #DrupalNO, the project is gaining momentum!

New features, such as SSO, SEO enhancements, and multi-language support, were on the table, with a roadmap for continuous updates and monthly check-ins via Slack. The Dutch team is also working on automating updates across all sites, ensuring smoother collaboration between associations.

One of the many things I like about the #drupal community is that we’re always pushing forward and not afraid to leave old technology behind.

Thank you for your service, DrupalCI, sleep well :)
