Drupal 8 configuration management: we wrote the book!




Acquia Inc. podcasts show

Summary: The first Drupal 8 book on the market was Drupal 8 Configuration Management, by Anja Schirwinski and Stefan Borchert from undpaul in Hannover Germany. Anja is Co-Founder and CEO of undpaul. I ran into her and undpaul's other Co-Founder/CEO, Johannes Haseitl in early May at the re:publica 2015 in Berlin, where I gave a presentation on open source and the economy. This podcast audio and video contains excerpts of the conversation we had in a corner of the very busy event location--apologies in advance for the audio challenges. Among other things, we touched on: undpaul's wonderful origin story (also check out this video of it). Drupal empowering less-technical users. The re:publica conference and why it is important to expose yourself to new communities and ideas. How Drupal and technology can solve real problems. Our responsibility to use it to make a real difference and make the "real" world a better place. How open source technology and the open source mindset--sharing, openness, working together--lead to better solutions and outcomes. Drupal 8 and Configuration Management, deployment, version control. Running Drupal (and open source) businesses in Germany.
