Earlier this month I was part of a group session at entitled "Backdrop CMS in Higher Ed". We looked at a few case studies and talked about the case for Backdrop from an institutional perspective.

It was recorded and is available here:

7 will reach end of life on January 5th, 2025. There will be no more extensions.

What are your options?

Because at some point, you'll need to move off of Drupal 7, and the time is growing short.

We love Backdrop and it's 100% one of the things we recommend for D7 sites!

CKEditor 5 is new in the most recent version of Backdrop CMS. At our last virtual user group meeting, we had a demostration of what is new in CKEditor 5 and how to manage the upgrade. It was VERY informative.

We also has a short 10 minute demo of the TinyMCE text editor module for Backdrop CMS.

The entire event was recorded and we highly recommend watching.

We created a new video about Image Styles for Backdrop CMS. This is a video tutorial for beginners that addresses the basics of what images styles are, how to use them, and how to create your own.

Members of the Backdrop CMS opensource project would like to invite some folks involved in other opensource CMS projects to show us what you are working on.

We'd love to get a demo of your CMS and then follow-up with a discussion about how our favorite CMS compares to yours and what we might learn from each other?

Anyone interested in this?

NOTE: We have Drupal resources already, looking for others...

Two of my public open source extensions are used: Hark (complex multi-layer access surveys) and Inlay (an API for writing CiviCRM extensions that embed nicely in other sites) are used to deliver the project.

Looking forward to the events starting at the end of the week with the one day CiviCamp event in for users, implementors, developers to share skills, meet and learn. Then a week long docs + code "sprint" near Utoxeter where developers and documenters can improve this amazing tool together.
