Out of the Box initiative

The alpha version for The Out of the Box initiative has been committed to Drupal 8.6.x. But, what is it and what will it bring to core?

The Out-of-the-Box initiative team is working on improving the first-time user experience of Drupal. The team is creating a new installation profile with the main goal of demonstrating how powerful Drupal is for creating beautiful websites for real life use cases. The new installation profile will provide a demo that will address the problem of new users being welcomed with the "No front page content has been created yet." message in a design that is 6 years old.
The new profile recreates a food magazine called Umami and comes with default content,  such as recipes or articles, and a custom theme.

In this session you will get an update on the The Out of the Box experience initiative, and will be able to participate in the discussion about the relevant questions at the time and future plans.
