Drupal Developer Days Presentation - Open-Source Platform Alliance_ Collaboration Across FOSS CMS

In this session, we'll delve into the potential of community-driven cooperation, illustrating how collective efforts expand opportunities and capabilities within open-source content management systems. By coming together, we amplify our impact, fostering an environment where sharing research and development insights becomes commonplace. Together, we explore innovative solutions, pushing the boundaries of what these platforms can achieve.

Moreover, we'll look at the significance of building and utilizing tools collaboratively. From plugin development to core enhancements, the synergy between WordPress and Drupal communities exemplifies how shared resources lead to accelerated growth and increased efficiency. By shaping the future of these platforms hand in hand, we pave the way for a more robust and adaptable open-source ecosystem.

Join us as we embark on a journey to unlock the full potential of the "Open-Source Platform Alliance," where collaboration is not just a concept but a driving force shaping the future of FOSS CMS.
