Drupal Day Portugal 2023 in Aveiro, coinciding with Festa do Software Livre. A memorable event.

The single-track format eliminated choice stress. One room, everyone together. Underrated approach.

Highlights

Ricardo Marcelino shared a fascinating perspective on the history and future of Drupal, noting that Drupal 7 still has a significant presence compared to D8, D9, and D10. Could D7 become a forever LTS?

Dominique De Cooman from Dropsolid presented the possibilities of Mautic Community.

Closing: Drupal and OpenAI

I had the privilege of closing the day with a session on Drupal and OpenAI. I walked through the history of AI in Drupal: from safe search, through chatbots, to TensorFlow. Then a live demo of AI-assisted copywriting in Drupal: tone of voice, translations, automatic titles, automatic tags. And live image generation with DALL-E.

Thanks

To the ADP - Associação Drupal Portugal for putting together a conference full of amazing people. And to Dropsolid for the opportunity to represent such an outstanding company.
