At SeeD EM, as Drupal experts and a silver partner of the Drupal Association, we understand that our company’s growth is intrinsically linked to the development and evolution of the Drupal community. For this reason, we have integrated active contribution to this ecosystem as a fundamental part of our internal plan and project. Every Friday afternoon, our production team dedicates time to various tasks that strengthen the Drupal community, covering:
- Participation in events and talks: Our experts share their knowledge and experiences at events and workshops within the Drupal ecosystem, generating impact both locally and internationally.
- Core and module translations: To make Drupal accessible to a global audience, our team dedicates itself to translating Drupal core and modules into various languages, helping the platform grow in different markets.
- Resolving issues in modules: As part of SeeD EM's commitment, we help resolve errors and issues in contributed modules, ensuring Drupal remains a stable and reliable platform for its users.
- Custom development in Drupal: Our team has worked on over seven modules currently in development and soon to be contributed to the community, designed to provide new features and solutions that meet the current needs of users.
This effort has fostered a space of learning and collaboration within SeeD EM, where our developers and experts work together to solve complex problems, develop new modules, and share knowledge. This exchange has been fundamental to our growth both individually and organizationally.
The Importance of Contributing to Drupal
Contributing to Drupal is more than just writing code; it’s being part of a global ecosystem that has led to over 52,000 modules enhancing the platform's flexibility and functionality. The Drupal community is one of the most active and dynamic in the open-source world, and every contribution, no matter how small, helps improve the platform for everyone.
One of the recent advancements we can highlight is the use of an automated bot that helps solve compatibility issues between modules, facilitating and speeding up the review process, allowing developers to focus on key improvements. This type of innovation is only possible thanks to the ongoing commitment of developers and companies like SeeD EM, who dedicate time and resources to contributing to the project.
The Impact for SeeD EM and Our Team
Our contribution to Drupal not only strengthens the community but also directly impacts SeeD EM. The custom development we carry out in Drupal allows us to stay at the forefront of trends and technological improvements, providing our team with constant growth opportunities. Contribution Fridays have become a valuable space for collaboration, innovation, and learning, where the team explores new ideas, solves problems, and develops solutions that benefit both our projects and the Drupal community in general. In order to share knowledge, we also participate in and contribute to community events, sharing updates, tips, and best practices for using Drupal. Additionally, we have sought to reach academic communities to encourage students to use Drupal in their classroom projects, thus fostering a next generation of Drupal developers.
We remain committed to actively contributing to Drupal because we believe that only through collaboration and contribution can we foster a stronger and more dynamic open-source ecosystem.
SeeD EM is proud to be part of this movement and to be recognized as a silver partner of the Drupal Association, working hand-in-hand with the community to continue growing together. The future of Drupal is built by everyone!
