Drupal is a powerful platform but most Drupal firms are less than 50 people strong and there are very few in the 50 - 500 range. One of the biggest limitations (and also the biggest strengths) of Drupal is its powerful API which creates a steep learning curve for anybody new in Drupal and consequently an entry barrier for new players to enter also also a limitation for existing players to scale. We are competing in a space where gigantic players in the industry like Accenture, IBM, Infosys, CTS etc manage projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars with teams that are hundreds or even thousands strong. If Drupal companies have to compete with such players then we will also have to re-invent ourselves to be able to offer an alternative to proprietary platforms not just in terms of technology but also in terms of a scale of solutions and engagements. This presentation is about exploring how Drupal companies can compete to collaborate with each other to effectively take on such large players and also allow the whole Drupal ecosystem to grow. This is about how Drupal companies could explore a much wider range of collaboration among Drupal companies who look at Drupal not just as a commercial tool but as a powerful community that can transform application development on the web and who look at Free Software as a philosophy of life and not something to take a free ride on. Such collaborations would not only address the commercial needs of companies but also the contribution needs of the community. About Zyxware Technologies We are a 9 year old exclusive Drupal company with a team of 70 people. We are a featured service provider on Drupal.org and we have been actively contributing to Drupal in terms of code, support and financial support. We have reached a size where we are actively looking to collaborate with other Drupal companies who are passionate about Drupal and the community around it.

The presentation is about why Drupal is a good choice as a framework to build your next big product / service idea if you are a startup. The presentation covers the reasons and also introduces concepts in Drupal that will allow a startup to get their web application up and running without writing a line of code. Then again the idea is to never write a line of code but also about picking a platform where you can get started fast and then build and customize later.

Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is the most popular style of large language model application to emerge from 2023. The most basic style of RAG works by vectorizing your data and injecting it into a vector database like Milvus for retrieval to augment the text output generated by an LLM. This is just the beginning. One of the ways that we can extend RAG, and extend AI, is through multilingual use cases. Typical RAG is done in English using embedding models that are trained in English. In this talk, we’ll explore how RAG could work in languages other than English. We’ll explore French, Chinese, and Polish.
