Drupal CMS: What’s here, what’s coming (and the UX behind it)

See Drupal CMS come to life in this showcase-based session revealing what's new in version 2.0 and what's coming next. I'll share how we defined strategy and scope, what we're actively seeking from contributors, and how the community has united around shared goals.
From Drupal Canvas to Site Templates and AI features, you’ll see the impact of strategic UX research and community collaboration in a suite of carefully-thought out features and functionalities.

UX research is bridging the gap between Drupal's technical power and non-technical users' needs. Drawing on findings from interviews, concept studies and usability research, I’ll share the multifaceted approach we’re taking to ensure we keep making Drupal CMS easier and easier to use for non-technical users, and reveal how we’re opening up Drupal to new audiences in the process.
If you’re uncertain what Drupal CMS is and why you should care, this is the session for you. You’ll see its features in action, get a sense of its potential and learn how you can get involved to help shape its future. 

In this session, we will 
• Explore the current state, key contributions, and achievements of Drupal CMS
• Understand the roadmap and strategy driving the community forward
• Learn how UX research translates into product features and innovation
• Discover what you or your company can gain from Drupal CMS
