[Drupal] Drupal Digest, Vol 109, Issue 1

[Shaw, James]

Richard,

Thank you too for such a great rundown on the environment here within OSU, your personal experience to my questions and the information regarding the monthly community meetings.

Fortunately we are a small shop with <10 Drupal sites; so when I hear that you are managing ~300 and many of those being Drupal 7 sites, I feel that I have some breathing room.

I'll try not to spam the list further at this time, but thanks again to you and those that have replied.  It is very appreciated!

Regards,

Dan

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.
