[Drupal] Drupal Digest, Vol 109, Issue 1

Fri Jul 16 09:16:19 EDT 2021

Welcome Dan!

We do have a community of developers here on campus, with (usually) monthly meetings on the last Thursday of each month. You'll see the details sent out ahead of time on this list.

I'm the web services manager over at the College of Engineering, and we run 50+ Drupal 8 sites, plus about 225 Drupal 7 sites we are in the process of phasing out. The other big shops on campus will be CFAES, Arts and Sciences, OCIO, and University Marketing.

I can't speak to some of your questions (we have not started Drupal 9 yet), but I can say that your workflow/updating depends on your codebase setup, your host, and how your code is distributed. We use composer and host on Pantheon with a custom upstream on Bitbucket, so for us code updates are generally straightforward.

Pantheon Vs Aquia is a larger discussion. There are advantages and disadvantages to each. For us, we have found Pantheon's feature set and service fits our needs the best.

Welcome to the community! I won't be at the meeting this month (family vacation), but I look forward to talking in teh future. Feel free to reach out if you ever want to talk.

Hi,

I'm new to the OSU ecosystem and was looking to network with other Drupal administrators & developers within the university.  My role is mainly as a developer but am tasked with managing our (grc.osu.edu) web assets, which include a few Acquia hosted Drupal 8.x sites.  If anyone is willing to share their thoughts, best practices or what your "go to" resources are, I'm interested in leveraging your experience in the following categories.

*        Is there a Drupal user group and meetings here at the university??

*        Migrating to Drupal 9 - common pain points

*        Managing Drupal modules and theme updates

*        Pantheon vs. Acquia

*        With Acquia, it sounds like I am responsible for managing/ migrating the PHP versions (we are currently on 7.3), is ?

*        Any other things to look out for, that I don't even know to ask about?

Thanks in advance for any information/ tips you are willing to pass on!

Regards,

Dan Shaw
