Have you ever encountered an issue in Drupal or one of the many contributed projects? Do you know what to do next? When you would like to start contributing to the Drupal open source project, you will quickly run into the need to work in the Drupal issue queue. This talk aims to give you a soft landing in the issue queue. We will discuss:

The problem

Site visitors expect to find the information they are looking for within seconds. Besides a good information architecture, and top tasks, it is important that the search experience is built in such a way that site visitors expect. 

They have become used to a google like search experience, a traditional keyword-based search doesn’t cut the deal anymore. 

People don’t simply search for information; they are looking for an answer for their problem. We must switch to a problem-based search instead of keyword based.

In this talk we'll take a stab at improving the editor experience by leveraging contrib modules such as dropzonejs, entity browser, google vision, and search api.

In this talk, we’ll answer two questions:

Drupal’s initiatives work on key improvements for the platform that will make it easier to build and maintain sites as well as create the software itself.  In this keynote, various initiative leads will take turns to highlight new capabilities, challenges they faced on the way and other stories from core development.

Mental health disorders affect millions of people around the world, and have a big impact both on employees and the companies they work for. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of stigma around the topic, and many people are not comfortable opening up about it.
