The Drupal Association seeks an organization or individual to partner with us to implement a new solution for authentication and single-sign-on for Drupal.org. Your letters of interest are requested by May 14th, 2021.

In preparation for the minor release, Drupal 9.2.x will enter the alpha phase the week of May 3rd 2021. Core developers should plan to complete changes that are only allowed in minor releases prior to the alpha release. The 9.2.0-alpha1 deadline for most core patches is April 30. (More information on alpha and beta releases.)

A few years ago, during our preparations for the 2018 Aaron Winborn Award, we had the idea that the award should be created by a community member. 

The last 18 months have been difficult for many in our global community. The global COVID-19 pandemic has taken loved ones from us too soon. Social and political upheaval around the world have fractured civil discourse, and set back the cause of civil rights. Economic uncertainty has affected our jobs and our prospects for the future. For some, the present crises have brought up memories of more distant loss.

In a year in which we have all experienced loss, remembrance and reflection helps us heal.
