A further Drupal module that I have become maintainer of, and where I can enjoy Drupal open contribution model
Hi Drupal folks! the Entity PDF module has been upgraded to the 2.1.x release, marking significant enhancements in code quality, documentation, and functionalities.

If you're a Drupal user interested in integrating advanced Web GIS features into your web application, the Geofield Stack offers a powerful toolkit.
I've personally utilized this stack (that I maintain for the worldwide community since Drupal 8) to develop a quick and efficient Drupal website that effectively manages and publishes a photographic reportage of my journey along the "Way of the Gods" via electric mountain bike (E-MTBike). This approach provides a vivid geographical context to the points of interest and photographs captured along the route.
I was approached by Sebin A. Jacob, Editor-In-Chief of the The Drop Times for an extended interview about my work in the Web Gis 2.0 context, and in particular with advanced geo-mapping with the Geofield Stack in Drupal 8 and above. I gave all my answers and insights as crucial contributor of all the Geofield stack of modules (Geofield, Geofield Map, Leaflet and Geocoder), that enable Drupal to store and manage geocoded content and visualise it in advanced and creative georeferenced ways.
Layout Paragraphs module provides an intuitive drag-and-drop experience for building flexible layouts with Paragraphs. Layout Paragraphs was designed from the ground up with Paragraphs in mind, and is able to integrate seamlessly with (and enhance) existing Paragraphs structures and reference fields.
