Sharyn Clarkson on CivicTheme at the ACT Drupal Meetup

ACT Drupal Meetup September 2023

At the September Drupal Meetup in the ACT, Sharyn presented on adopting an open source design system — CivicTheme.

In her presentation, she set the scene, talking about the now retired Australian Government Design System (AGDS) and GovCMS’ original commitment to that design system. She then moves onto CivicTheme and GovCMS’ plans for the adoption of CivicTheme for new builds and rebuilds.

About CivicTheme

CivicTheme is an open-source, WCAG-compliant, technology-agnostic design system, UI kit and Drupal theme. It can be used for ‘straight’ Drupal websites or GovCMS websites.

Earlier this year it was recognised as part of the Digital Transformation Agency’s Australian Government Architecture (AGA).

CivicTheme also won the Design/UX Award at the DrupalSouth 2023 Splash Awards.
