Core roadmap overview @ Drupalcon Vienna Business Summit

At the Drupalcon Vienna Business Summit on monday I presented a quick overview of how the roadmap for Drupal core comes together. A short bit of context and then on to how the new 6-month release cycle creates room to evolve the core product faster.

Drupal 8.4 is done and just about to be released. Here’s the roadmap for Drupal 8.5 core the product management team put together. In short:

1. Migrate
2. Media
3. API-First
4. Layouts
5. Workflow
6. Outside-In
7. Out-of-the-Box

Of course no talk is complete without a section about how you, yes you can help make it all happen:

1. Help inform the roadmap priorities: share survey data, usability testing results, client feedback
2. Help validate the roadmap: are we working on the right things? Does it help fill actual gaps?
3. Help build, because process does not replace people: sponsor development by providing time, money, space for getting things done.
