OPIN Insider Newsletter - February 2021
Welcome back to the OPIN insider!
Drupal News
We have some big news in the Drupal space this month as well as some great articles we have been reading recently. Let’s dive into it!
Drupal 9 is expected to have the shortest Drupal major release lifetime in recent history with Drupal 10 planned to be released in the middle of 2022 (next year!) and Drupal 9 end of life by end of 2023.
That means there are 15 months left before the new major release is expected to be available. If you are interested in learning more, here is an update about the initiative last time in December at DrupalCon Europe.
In addition, DrupalCon North America 2021 is online and will focus one of the days on Drupal 10 readiness. There will be various in-depth talks to illuminate further details. Sign up here and use the opportunity to be at the forefront of the new version!

Here are two books by Nassim Nicholas that can help us all during this time:
The Black Swan (source: GoodReads review)
A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable than it was.
