When it comes to government websites, Drupal is everywhere. In 2021, around 56% of the world’s government websites relied on Drupal. Numerous case studies illustrate the profound technical benefits of choosing Drupal. Serving both national governments and local administrative divisions, Drupal has a proven track record as a reliable, cost-efficient framework for websites of varying scales.

The landscape of websites is undergoing a seismic shift, driven by an insatiable demand for new content and the impending influence of artificial intelligence. In this session, we embark on a journey into the heart of "The Future of Websites," exploring the dynamic interplay between escalating content needs and the transformative role of AI in shaping the digital ecosystem.

Have you ever wondered how popular Drupal is in your local state and at the Federal Government level? This talk will answer that question, using open source tooling.

The presentation will cover the latest developments in GovCMS9 and detail the roadmap for migrations.

The OneCX program is transforming the customer’s digital experience of the NSW Government. It’s making it easier for customers to access the information they need, without having to understand or navigate the structure of government.

Salsa migrated the large health.vic.gov.au from SiteCore to Victoria’s Single Digital Presence (SDP) to access the benefits of open source and the whole-of-government platform. The project represents a very large site with over 110 different features identified for rebuilding on SDP, and over 80,000 content objects (pages, documents and components) for migration.

This presentation will share how different teams at Service NSW are using Drupal to host content.

The last few years have been busy for GovCMS. We delivered large amounts of Covid content to Australians; feeling the weight of responsibility to not make any mistakes and watched over enormous spikes in traffic that did not fall away as the pandemic ebbed and flowed. The reality of that workload and pressure meant we had to delay most of our optional work.

What do you do when you have a collection of Drupal (and not Drupal) websites, each with a unique theme, configuration, and an inability to spend time returning and enhancing with improvements? Our recent project tackled this very problem! We came on to help upgrade an extensive collection of Drupal 7 websites to Drupal 9 for a large Government Agency.

GovCMS is a hosting platform available for government agencies and entities across different levels of government. GovCMS offers two hosting options, a Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. GovCMS currently host over 330 websites for over 100 agencies.
