Panopoly 2.0 on Drupal 8!

When you first install Drupal, it's a blank slate - it doesn't really do anything yet. If you want a personal blog, company website, intranet portal or e-commerce store - you need to start installing modules and actually configuring your website into one of those things.

That's where Drupal distributions come in! A Drupal distribution is Drupal plus some modules, themes and configuration, so that when you first install it does something right out of the box.

In this presentation, David Snopek (one of the Panopoly co-maintainers) is going to talk about (and demonstrate!) a Drupal distribution called Panopoly, and more specifically, Panopoly 2.0 that was just released (at Drupalcon) for Drupal 8!

(You can see this presentation from Drupalcon Austin 2014 about Panopoly 1.x...)

Panopoly includes a lot of great features for Site Builders and Users, but also acts as a "base distribution" for building your own Drupal distribution.
