I was researching Drupal 9 content and decided to collect some data. I gathered information related to the authors and the organizations whose content showed up in the top 100 Google results for "Drupal 9" (as of June 12, 2020). Check out the infographic with the data in a pretty format or skip to the plain text.

This is the first infographic I've created. I used Piktochart based on a Twitter recommendation from @akmalfikri. I liked the tool pretty well but was hoping for more mapping options based on region rather than country. If you have a favorite infographic tool, let me know.

Drupal 9 Authors

For the content that had authors listed, I looked at the type of content they contributed, their job titles, and for their drupal.org profiles, if any. If they had a drupal.org profile, I checked if they work on any contributed projects, how long they've been on drupal.org, how many issue credits they have, and how many core issue credits they have. I also grabbed their location, and if they are a Drupal Association member and contributed to the #DrupalCares campaign.

Author Content Types

For content with authors listed, I looked at the type of content they contributed which was lumped into the categories: Blog Post, Video, Code, or Other. The Code category is for Github code that was in the search results. The Other category includes documentation and training material.

• Blog Post: 90%
• Video: 5%
• Code: 2.5%
• Other: 2.5%

Author Job Role Types

I grouped the job roles into categories: Developer, Executive, Marketer, Writer, and Other. The Executive category includes Founders / Co-Founders, C-Levels, VPs, and Directors. The Writer bucket includes journalists and media outlet content writers as well as in-house writers for larger organizations. The Other bucket includes product managers, project managers, and people without roles listed.

Some people had multiple roles but I picked one. For example, if someone was a CTO & Architect, I used Executive even though they might be doing development.

• Developer: 31%
• Executive: 30%
• Marketer: 23%
• Writer: 8%
• Other: 8%

Author Locations

For content with authors listed and drupal.org profiles, I looked their locations which were grouped: USA, Europe, UK, India, Australia, or Other. The Other category includes Canada and profiles that did not have a location listed.

• USA: 60%
• Europe: 14%
• UK: 10%
• India: 7%
• Australia: 5%
• Other: 5%

Drupal 9 Organizations

For the organizations that published the content (other than drupal.org), I looked at the type of content they contributed, type of organization, and for their organization drupal.org profiles, if any. In some cases, the organization had a personal drupal.org profile rather than a organization profile so those were ignored. If they had an organization drupal.org profile, I checked if they work on any contributed projects, how many people they have on drupal.org, their location, how many issue credits they have, and how many core issue credits they have. I also looked at if they are a Drupal Association member, supporting sponsor or premium/signature sponsor, and if they contributed to the #DrupalCares campaign.

Organization Content Types

I looked at the type of content that was contributed which was lumped into the categories: Blog Post, Video, Landing Page, or Other.

• Blog Post: 73%
• Landing Page: 8%
• Video: 6%
• Other: 13%

Organization Types

I grouped the organizations into categories: Consulting, Hosting, Media, Themes, and Other. The Consulting category includes agencies, support companies, and specialty consulting though the bulk was traditional digital agencies. The Themes category is for sites that sell themes (many of these are for WordPress). The Other bucket includes training, specialized software, and technical libraries.

• Consulting: 73%
• Media: 6%
• Hosting: 5%
• Themes: 5%
• Other: 11%

Apologies, my old website is still on Drupal 6 and looks particularly bad on mobile. I've only started posting here again after many years and I've been very busy reviewing Drupal 9 patches and surviving a pandemic. Please ignore the cobbler's old shoes for now, thanks!
