At DrupalCon Atlanta, site templates were revealed as an initiative to level the learning curve and provide an easy start to ambitious site builders and developers to get started with Drupal. This session focuses on what makes a site template, the first site templates out in the market , and how we can create others so everyone can enjoy Drupal out of the box and reverse settings only as they need to. What WordPress and Joomla had for years, but with all the benefits Drupal adds.
We established Stanford's product security clinic in 2023 to help community organizations secure the software services they offer, diverging from traditional university cybersecurity clinics that focus on corporate security. Here's what we learned from our first two years of operation.
