Propose a Session for the Core Conversations Track
Core Conversations are a place for people actively working on and contributing to Drupal to meet, discuss, and plan the future of Drupal.
This is the place for big ideas about the future of Drupal, as well as discussions about where we want to go and how we are going to get there. Where regular tracks and sessions focus on the present and immediate future, Core Conversations are about long-term.
Each session is a conversation, so it has a short presentation, followed by 30 minutes of discussion with the audience.
We are seeking sessions which align with the following topics
- Reflections on D8 release, and things that were introduced in D8
- Targeted, actionable proposals for improvements to Drupal
- Development process
- Mentoring process
- Documentation process
- Community management, governance process, and the challenges of its rapid growth
- Subsystem and topic maintainership
Ideas:
- Defining Drupal's goals, mission, and core principles
- Plans for Drupal 8.2.x, 8.3.x
- Retrospective / lessons learned from 8.0.0 and 8.1.x release
- Effects of issue credits
- The road to Drupal 9 without FUD
- Javascript admin front-end
- PSRs for Drupal Core
- Concrete discussions about major/larger architectural changes or ongoing pain points
- Where do we plan to go for next Drupal releases
- How to get your idea into core
- Automated javascript testing
- Automated performance testing
- Automated visual regression testing
- Entity and field API future
- Expose more libraries/components from Drupal to the PHP community
- ... and your ideas for core conversations
See you in New Orleans!
