Drupal as commodity software

We usually deal with Drupal as a backbone of a web project and almost always interact with it via a web socket. This talk will challenge some of the norms and assumptions, looking at Drupal not as a Content Management System but a commodity software product. Alexar explores alternative approaches to distributing software and will make a case for whether Drupal as a project needs to adapt to some of these approaches to remain competitive.

Audience: Business Decision Makers, Back End Developers, System Administrators
