It was great to see you old friends and meet new friends - thank you, DrupalGovCon, for accepting my talk. In the session we talked about the options currently available for the 300,000 sites still on Drupal 7. We covered upgrading to Drupal 10, upgrading to BackdropCMS, using the Retrofit module, and exploring various options for Drupal Long Term Support (LTS).
Here are some key takeaways for those who attended the session
- Checklist of migration tasks
- Modules for auditing current site and for making migration smoother
- Site audit
- D10/11 Upgrade Status (upgrade_status)
- Backdrop CMS upgrade status (backdrop_upgrade_status)
I hope that attendeeds left the session with a comprehensive understanding of the technical challenges involved and practical solutions to overcome them.
