Subtitle: Chances and threats for Drupal with GDPR.

The new European privacy legislation, GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) will be uphold in 2018.

The proposed new EU data protection regime extends the scope of the EU data protection law to all foreign companies processing data of EU residents. It provides for a harmonization of the data protection regulations throughout the EU.

We have less than one year to be compliant with this legislation.

This session will focus on:

A search page with a map is something required on lots of websites. Depending on the nature of the data, adding facets can improve the user experience in a search page.

Once you know how to implement such a page, you realize that devloping a nice solution doesn't need much effort. The tricky part is the choice of modules you are going to use, how they work together and how to configure them properly.

Basic idea: provide an API to map Git functionality into Drupal to do version control of content with all the benefits of distributed branching models.

Media-handling in Drupal has never been easy. As Drupal core only includes basic file and image support, you had (and still have) to install lots of contrib modules to achieve tasks, which seem to be standard in other content-Management-Systems. The Media Initiative is one of several Drupal 8 Initiatives, which wants to make Media in Drupal easier to use, both for developers, site builders, as well as content editors and other end users.

In November 2016 we launched the first version of deGov - a Drupal distribution built on top of the Lightning distribution from Acquia.

At the moment we are working strongly on releasing the first stable fully functioning version of deGov. With the early version we have built two websites, parallel with the new version we are releasing the third website built with deGov.

What you can expect in this session:

In this session I will demonstrate how we build our latest Drupal 8 project with paragraphs. The website is very content rich website and the requirements from the client was to be as flexible as possible. Around 20 paragraphs were built as well as some reusable entites that the editor can choose from to display around the page. 

When a site has many paragraphs it is important that the user interface is simple for the editors of the page. In the session we will show you the backend like the editor sees it.
