Is size just a number? Reflecting on community growth, mentoring, and where we spend our efforts
David Hernandez with Kalpana Goel
Drupal has one of the largest open source communities in the world, with Drupal 8 crediting over 3,000 individual contributors. With this many people involved Drupal can do anything, right? Well, maybe this number isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Business Showcase Track

Brent Bice

In this presentation, FFW will discuss how our solutions not only generate traffic, conversion and increased revenue, but provide intrinsic value to organizations.
Coding and Development Track
Writing Command Line Tools for Drupal 8 Modules
Jesus Olivas, Greg Anderson, Moshe Weitzman and Darryl Norris
The Drush and Drupal Console maintainers have launched a new collaborative effort to unify the way that command line tools should be written for Drupal 8 modules. This session will walk through the process of writing a scripting interface for your Drupal 8 modules code using an object-oriented API built on top of Symfony Console components. Once your command is finished and working, it can be used from either Drupal Console or Drush.
PHP Track

Yuriy Gerasimov
There are so many types of testing nowadays! Code static analysis checks, unit testing, functional testing, front-end performance testing, load testing, visual regression testing. But which one shall I use in real life project with limited time and budget? There is no easy answer.
Site Building Track
