Drupal’s Starshot initiative and its impact on my contributions… aligning the Webform module with Drupal CMS

My next two blog posts will examine my work on the Webform and Schema.org Blueprints modules regarding Drupal’s Starshot initiative and its impact on my contribution to the community. The first post discusses how the Webform module aligns with Drupal CMS, and the second post will discuss how the Schema.org Blueprints module is adjacent to Drupal CMS.

Drupal Starshot

The Drupal Starshot initiative resulted in the creation of Drupal CMS.

In other words, Drupal CMS recommends contributed modules that solve standard requirements and challenges that Drupal Core does not immediately address. For example, the SmartDate module will be used within the Events Recipe instead of Drupal core’s Date module.

The Contact form initiative includes the Webform module, which I rebuilt for Drupal 8 and have maintained for several years. Being part of the Drupal CMS ecosystem is an honor and responsibility, which comes at a time when my maintenance of the Webform module is waning.

Webform maintainership

At the end of the year, I think about the current and future state of the Webform module and my contributions to the Drupal community. My contribution milestones fall on Christmas Eve when I wrap up and tag releases for open-source projects that I have been tinkering with during the Fall. For example, the YAML Form…Read More

https://terminalwire.com/articles/rails-implicit-rendering shows how the Rails method_for_action controller method can be overridden to build gems like Superview, which renders Phlex and ViewComponent’s for views, or build controllers that can handle bulk form actions, including securing each individual bulk action with a before_filter.

Ruby 3.2.7 has been released.

A small release day today! That is to say the releases are relatively
small; the day itself was of average size, as most days are.

BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA (February 4, 2025) — The Free Software
Foundation (FSF) turns forty this year.

We are excited to announce that F-Droid has been awarded $396,044 from the
Open Technology Fund’s FOSS Sustainability
Fund.
This grant is specifically designed to support free and open-source software
(FOSS) projects in addressing long-term sustainability challenges, and we
are honored to be among the recipients.

As F-Droid’s user base and community of volunteer contributors has grown, so
have the challenges of maintaining and expanding the project. While our
lightweight, resilient architecture has scaled to meet increasing demand, we
now face critical issues that dedicated and consistent funding will help us
address so we can continue to bring FOSS-based, privacy focused apps to
people around the world, even in places with limited internet access. This
OTF funding will help us:

• Refactor and integrate code with other maintained projects to reduce
  technical debt and improve efficiency.

• Establish clear policies and legal strategies for handling government
  take-down and censorship requests.

• Improve our localization workflows to make translations easier to
  manage and maintain.

• Strengthen our donation infrastructure so we can sustain F-Droid
  long-term.

• Enhance our hosting and infrastructure to increase flexibility, reduce
  costs, and ensure reliability.

This grant represents a major step forward in ensuring F-Droid’s long-term
sustainability. We look forward to sharing progress as we work on these
improvements.

A big thank you goes to the Open Technology Fund for supporting open-source
infrastructure and helping projects like ours continue to thrive!

Upstart was an event-based replacement for the traditional System V init (sysvinit) system on Ubuntu, introduced to bring a modern and more flexible way of handling system startup and service management. It emerged in the mid-2000s, during a period when sysvinit’s age and limitations were becoming more apparent, especially with regard to concurrency and dependency handling. Upstart was developed by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, with the aim of reducing boot times, improving reliability, and making the system initialization process more dynamic. Though at first it seemed likely to become a standard across many distributions, Upstart eventually lost mindshare to systemd and ceased to be Ubuntu’s default init system. ↫ André Machado I think it’s safe to say systemd won the competition to become the definitive successor so sysvinit on Linux, but Canonical’s Upstart made a valiant effort, too. However, with a troublesome license, it was doomed from the start, and it didn’t help that virtually every other major distribution eventually adopted systemd. These days, systemd is the Linux init system, and I personally quite like it (and the crowd turns violent). I find it easy to use and it’s never given me any issues, but I’m not a system administrator dealing with complex setups, so my experience with systemd is probably rather limited. It just does its thing in the background on my machines. None of this means there aren’t any other init systems still being actively developed. There’s GNU Shepard we talked about recently, runit, OpenRC, and many more. If you don’t like systemd, there’s enough alternatives out there.
