At DrupalCon Portland 2024, Dries Buytaert unveiled the "Starshot" initiative, a vision poised to bring the most significant transformation to Drupal since its Symfony rewrite over a decade ago.
Named after JFK’s famous “Moonshot” speech, the Starshot initiative aims to create a radically more user-friendly version of Drupal. This ambitious project encompasses several key sub-initiatives, including:
- Recipes
- Experience Builder
- Project Browser
- Automatic Updates
- Improved Documentation
- A new starting point called “Drupal CMS”
In this wildly entertaining session, I’ll guide attendees through the essence of Starshot, explaining each sub-initiative and how they interconnect. I’ll also discuss what this initiative means for Drupal and its potential benefits for websites like yours. Lastly, I’ll provide updates on each sub-initiative, their current statuses, and ways you can contribute!
