About LocalGov Drupal Camp
Today, we want to celebrate the incredible work our community has done over the last 12 months.
It’s been a phenomenal year with our products improving, our community growing, and many more council sites launching.
Thank you to all those who’ve made this possible.
Drupal is now the most widely used platform for council sites, with many already using LocalGov Drupal.
At last count, there were 40 live LGD council sites, with more under development.
Our microsites platform is also being well used, with 12 launched, including this one, and many more in development.
Further work on microsites will be a priority this year and feature heavily in today’s proceedings.
It’s also wonderful to see other sectors start to use the platform. We’ve seen museums, housing associations and others using the distribution and hope this proliferation continues at pace.
Congratulations to all those who’ve launched their sites, and good luck to all those who're knee-deep in the build.
We hope today will be beneficial and enjoyable for all those using our platform, whether they are just starting their journey or have contributed for some time.
We hope you enjoy the day and welcome any feedback - so next year’s event can be even bigger and better!
Best wishes,
Will and the core team.
