Celebrate drupal 8

taking drupal to the next level

hey melbourne, we're throwing a party! 

As part of a series of parties held around the globe, we’re getting together to launch this major update to a powerful software platform that has been crafted by volunteers over the past five years. Open source, free and built by passionate experts, Drupal 8 includes more than 200 new features and improvements. We think that deserves a celebration, and we’d love for you to join us.

Where

The Wilde, 153 Gertrude St, Fitzroy

This wonderful venue is so quintessentially Melbourne, in the heart of Fitzroy in a Victorian-era building that’s now a gastro-pub. With an extensive beer list and cocktail selection, we know we’ll be well looked-after.

When

November 20th, at 7pm, until late

Drupal 8 is launching officially around the world on November 19th, so we’ll be in sync with the Northern hemisphere celebrations, and free to party on into the weekend.

What

Good times!

We’ll do a quick speech at some point in the night, but in general we’ll be eating, drinking, chatting and high fiving. No technical talks, no slides, and no lanyards - this is all about the good times.

About drupal 8

D8 HAS BEEN FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING - THAT'S A THIRD OF DRUPAL'S LIFETIME.

With contributions from passionate volunteers from around the globe, we know that this will be an amazing advance in digital experience management. 

We've gone beyond merely managing content. The web is alive with services and devices of all sorts, and how we communicate with our citizens, customers, and clients has been transformed. Drupal can handle that diversity. Drupal 8 will deliver digital with better content creation tools, and responsive, mobile friendly interfaces.

 Drupal 8 will set a new standard for ease of use, while offering countless new ways to build and power awesome and elegant websites.

With easily customisable data structures, listings, and pages, Drupal 8 allows us to take advantage of new capabilities for displaying data on mobile devices, building APIs, and adapting to multilingual needs. It’s easier and faster than ever.

With a leaner and meaner core software platform, easier migration process from earlier versions, in-place content editing tools and loads more power for modules and themes, there is something for everyone to love in Drupal 8.

The Drupal community is ready to celebrate.
