It's been a great run, but it will soon be time to say goodbye to an old friend. Over the last 8+ years, Drupal 7 has served our clients well. During that time we're thankful to have worked on 100+ Drupal 7 websites for some great organizations from non-profits, to telecoms. While we have been building all our projects on Drupal 8 for the last couple of years, Drupal 7 has continued to be a stable and effective business tool for many of our clients. In an announcement by Dries Buytaert at Drupal Europe (September 2018), Drupal 7 (and 8) will reach End of Life in November 2021 while Drupal 9 is scheduled to be released in 2020. In this post we hope to answer some of the questions you may have as Drupal 7 or 8 site owners / managers regarding the implications of this End of Life date.
