Drupal Association Launches Migration Partners Program
In response to the forthcoming End of Life (EOL) for Drupal 7 on January 5, 2025, the Drupal Association has introduced the Certified Migration Partners program, as revealed in their blog post. This initiative aims to support Drupal 7 site owners, facilitating a smooth transition to more current versions and minimizing potential security risks.
Certified Migration Partners will receive prominent visibility on Drupal.org and a comprehensive migration resource library accessible to end users seeking assistance. The program stands as a robust support system, ensuring website owners and administrators have the necessary tools for a secure and seamless migration process.
Since its inception on January 5, 2011, Drupal 7 has been a stalwart companion for numerous websites and online projects. Recognizing the need for progression, the Drupal project has extended its support window until January 5, 2025. After this date, users sticking to Drupal 7 face heightened security risks, emphasizing the urgency for immediate migration planning.
The Drupal community encourages users to explore the continually updated resources on the Drupal 7 End-of-Life page, facilitating a smooth transition to more advanced Drupal versions. For those seeking technical insights and guidance, the Drupal 7 Security Advisory post offers in-depth information about the implications of the transition.
As the Drupal community sets its sights on the future, the announcement of Drupal 7's End of Life serves as a reminder of the constant evolution that propels technology forward. By migrating to newer versions, website owners and developers are not only safeguarding their digital investments but also embracing the opportunities that lie ahead in the ever-evolving world of web development.
