Drupal future

Initiatives were born out of a need to give contributors a framework to organize their work on specific goals for Drupal core. We've been widely successful with some of them, while major things happened outside of initiatives too. We'll discuss recent progress on key initiatives, look at where the model worked and I will share my thoughts on what may be the future of initiatives.

At https://www.jobiqo.com/ started our decoupled journey in 2018 the Drupal decoupled scene was new, very different and less mature than it is today.

Looking for the next big thing in Drupal? Look no further than ChatGPT! In this talk, you'll discover how large language models like ChatGPT 4 can produce effective code, including YAML files for Drupal. The presenters will demonstrate a small module that uses ChatGPT to create views entirely from scratch, giving you the power to control much of the functionality that a site builder once did using natural language. Plus, they'll showcase a document library that uploads PDFs and enables a Chatbot to ask questions based on Drupal permissions. With all the advancements happening in this space, this talk is sure to be an exciting and dynamic one that you won't want to miss!

Godot is an Open Source game development engine which benefits from a content management like Drupal providing a complete experience in both video games and web applications.
