Issue 664 - January, 9th 2025

Happy new year! When I started this newsletter back in 2011 Drupal 7 was new. This week it is no longer being supported by the community. Kinda wild to think about how much time has passed and how much has changed in the world.

On another note, if you are interested in sponsoring there are still some openings in the first half of 2025. I will be opening the second half this month.

If you enjoy this newsletter I'd appreciate it if you shared it with your friends and colleagues.
