Drupal After Dark

How to ride off into the sunset with Drupal 6…

What happens when Drupal 6 has been sunset, but you're still using Drupal 6?

Suppose you have an existing site on Drupal 6, but you haven't been able to upgrade to Drupal 8 (much less Drupal 7). For a year, Drupal 6 has had no official support. This means that there will likely be no more contrib module updates, but more importantly, there will be no more security updates to Drupal core.

This session will explore your options.

  • How to find (and fix!) security vulnerabilities yourself
  • Leverage patches and bug fixes made to Drupal 7 and 8 that might also affect your Drupal 6 site
  • Support with the Drupal community and vendors that can help

This session is for owners and maintainers of Drupal 6 sites that are feeling the pressure to move to Drupal 8 (or to something else).
