I love how many times #Drupal has been called out at the EU Open Source Summit this year. We're half-way through this great @openforumeurope.org tradition, but in so many ways the Drupal community's governance model is an important one for #DigitalSovereignty & #OpenSource #EUpolicy #FOSDEM

I've been a digital hoarder of eBooks for two decades. It was time to stop collecting and start discovering.
Part 1 of my new series on building an intelligent library with #Drupal and #Solr is live.

So wait, after a decade of waiting for #Drupal to finally re-add the ability to have a select dropdown for entity reference field view filters (something that just worked in Drupal 7 without issue), they finally added the feature into core, but then didn't bother enabling it?!

I just got feedback from a student that they deemed working with #Drupal more intuitive than #WordPress
This is an absolute first in teaching a CMS course since 2018.
Of course it is anecdotal but I really feel like it confirms my impression that FSE has totally eroded the proclaimed simplicity of using WordPress.

I am confused by the description of #DrupalCanvas on the project page, since it seems to be going out of its way to avoid talking about how it will make page layout easier for site editors, which should be its big selling point.

Instead, it is going on about structured content and migrations, which it will hopefully not make too much harder, but I'm not sure at all how it could make those things easier.

Making the case for #Drupal Commerce over enterprise commerce platforms: 💰🛒

@ryanszrama does a great job explaining why services like Shopify are likely to cost more in the long run.

I don't build very many commerce sites, but I learned a lot in this blog post. I would imagine this would be *very* useful for agencies as a sales tool! 🎯📊

If your #Drupal 8/9/10 site is crashing on /admin/ pages due to the new "main" branching scheme in D11, a simple drush cache rebuild won't be enough.

This will do the trick:

```
drush php:eval "Drupal::service('update.manager')->refreshUpdateData()"
```

Hey #Drupal 8 #D8 #Composer friends, I'm having a weird composer issue:

Admin pages suddenly crash, seemingly out of the blue:

```
UnexpectedValueException: Invalid version string "main" in Composer\Semver\VersionParser->normalize()
```

It seems like Drupal is trying to see if there are core updates (>= 8.9.20), and then receives a "main" version identifier that composer can't deal with?

Possibly related to the new "main" branching scheme in D11 pushed 2 hours ago?
