State of the media initiative

In this session, you will get an update on the Media Initiative for Drupal 8 core.

The Core Media team is working on the Media Initiative to modernize and improve Drupal core’s out-of-the-box media handling. Not just files, but images, videos, tweets, instagrams...

In the last six months, we’ve been heads-down building several cool things and fixing a plethora of issues. So this session will be a follow-up to the initiative update we gave during DrupalCon Vienna.

The session will include:

• Brief overview of the goals of the Media Initiative

• Current state of media system in core, and what can you expect in Drupal 8.5

• Roadmap for 8.6 and later

• The upgrade path from contrib to core, and how to use it

• How you can help the initiative

There will be plenty of time for questions, answers, and discussion.
