Security, Drupal 9, and Navigating the Changing Web Landscape
This Keynote explores how Drupal 8 core has made its way "off the island" by leveraging industry standards like semantic versioning, package management, third-party libraries, and other external tools, and how these changes will affect Drupal 9 and 10. This shift brings a lot of benefits, but has also impacted how we manage release schedules, backwards compatibility, and security.
Working in Acquia's Drupal Acceleration Team, xjm is one of two Drupal core release managers and among Drupal 8's top patch contributors. She is also a member of the Drupal Security Team and has helped coordinate most core security releases since Drupal 8's release in 2015.
Previously, xjm founded the core contribution mentoring program in 2011, and worked as a member of the Views in Core initiative team in 2012.
