Zyxware Technologies Celebrates Drupal's Recognition as a Digital Public Good

Apr 19, 2023


Drupal's recognition as a Digital Public Good(DPG) by the UN for helping achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a significant achievement that invites more governments and non-profit organizations to explore the benefits of using Drupal.


Herndon, Virginia Apr 19, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Zyxware Technologies is happy to share the news of Drupal being recognised as a Digital Public Good (DPG) by the Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA). The DPG status is granted to software that adheres to best practices and helps achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) put forward by the United Nations (UN). 

To receive the Digital Public Good designation, software must meet the Digital Public Goods Standard, a set of guidelines that ensure digital solutions conform to the definition of a digital public good. Drupal passed the DPGA's nine indicators and requirements test, which included adherence to privacy and applicable laws, compliance with standards and best practices, and protection from harassment. Drupal's recognition as a DPG by the DPGA is a significant achievement that encourages more governments and non-profit organizations to explore the benefits of using Drupal.

The initiative to have Drupal recognized as a DPG was kickstarted when Daniel Cothran (John Snow, Inc) publicly asked the Drupal Community why Drupal was not a DPG. The question was accepted as a challenge by the Drupal community. A discussion thread started on the Drupal Governance Project. Anoop John, Founder and CTO of Zyxware Technologies Private Limited, played an important role in the application process. Multiple people from the community, including Tim Lehnen (CTO Drupal Association), Tim Doyle (CEO Drupal Association), Von Eaton (Director, Programs), Kristin Romaine(Ex Chief Resource Officer), Rachel Lawson (Senior Manager, Digital Impact Alliance) and many other contributors to the application process to get Drupal acknowledged as a Digital Public Good. Dries Buytaert reviewed the application, and Tim Lehnen took up the responsibility of submitting it and coordinating with DPGA through their evaluation process.

This recognition is a significant milestone for Drupal and the Drupal Community. Being listed as a DPG will make it easier for companies to justify using Drupal and potentially direct funding for specific feature sets. This is even more relevant for publicly funded organizations including governments, nonprofits, and educational institutions. The case for them using Drupal becomes stronger. It is a testament to the community's hard work and dedication to creating software that adheres to the highest standards and helps achieve the UN's SDGs.

Zyxware Technologies is proud to have played an important role in this achievement and to be part of the global Drupal community that has together taken Drupal to this status. This recognition demonstrates that great things can happen when individuals take small steps toward a common goal.

The Journey Before the Journey: The Psychology of Planning a Vacation

A vacation begins long before a suitcase is packed. It begins in an ordinary moment: a tiring afternoon, a conversation with a friend, a photograph of somewhere unfamiliar. Suddenly, the mind moves beyond its immediate surroundings. We imagine waking without an alarm, sharing an unhurried meal or standing somewhere that makes our everyday concerns feel smaller. Planning a vacation gives that imagined life a date, a destination and the possibility of becoming real.

Why the 1960 film The Wild, Wild Rose is the late Grace Chang’s greatest cinematic triumph

Grace Chang, also known by her stage name Ge Lan, died in August at the age of 93. She is widely remembered today for her lively performance in Mambo Girl, the 1957 Chinese-language musical that made her a star. Famed for pure roles expressing the aspirations of would-be middle-class Hong Kong girls, Chang initially played characters who were hip, popular, socially adept, conscientious and relatively well-off, possessing no hint of sexuality; her character in Mambo Girl is almost...

Klara and the Sun review: Jenna Ortega is an android in upbeat but saccharine sci-fi fable

3/5 stars Taika Waititi, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Jojo Rabbit (2019), brings his trademark quirk to Klara and the Sun, a sunny-side-up sci-fi fable that occasionally delivers flashes of darkness. Based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2021 novel of the same name, the film is set in a future where AI companions are the norm. The effervescent Klara (Jenna Ortega) is one such android, albeit a discontinued B1 model now being hawked from a city discount store. Klara’s escape comes when a young girl,...

The ancient Chinese warrior queen who led huge armies to victory and stole a king’s heart

Fu Hao is one of the earliest documented female military generals in history, yet relatively little is known about her. Most of the information gathered about her life is from her tomb. One thing we do know is that she lived during the Shang dynasty (1600BC-1046BC), before the unification of China. Fu’s tomb was excavated in 1976. Its contents led archaeologists to conclude she was a high-ranking royal consort and military general who commanded some of the largest armies of her time. So, who...
