In an effort to keep our community informed and engaged, we recently conducted a survey to determine the name for our new CKAN update series. The survey aimed to gather preferences not only for the series name but also for the types of updates and preferred channels for receiving them. The results are in, and we are excited to share them with you.

We are thrilled to announce the results of our recent survey on the new color for the CKAN out-of-the-box interface. Your enthusiastic participation has been incredible, and we are excited to reveal the community's choice.

A significant investment made by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) in the CKAN open data ecosystem through the Pathways to Enable Open Source Ecosystems (POSE) funding program. The NSF's investment aims to enhance the CKAN ecosystem by creating inclusive onboarding pathways, developing new processes for product and community management, promoting CKAN adoption, and more.

We’ve prepared a short survey where you can view six proposed colour schemes for the new look of out-of-the-box UI for CKAN and select the one that you find most appealing. This is your chance to contribute to the design process and make your mark on the CKAN community.

2023 was a landmark year for CKAN, marked by global recognition, innovative projects, pivotal developments, collaborations, and initiatives that have collectively advanced CKAN's mission of fostering open data and empowering communities worldwide. Now, building upon this momentum, a new initiative has been launched to further enhance CKAN's capabilities.
