Dropsolid at DrupalCon

• Who: Toon De Geest
• What: To know where you are going you sometimes have to look into the past.
  We look at the timeline, and how content editing evolved, and its pros and cons.
  Then we have a look into the future and the role of Layout Builder.
  We'll show demos on D9 with paragraphs (how it was done in the past) and a live demo with Layout builder, how it's done in the open source Rocketship distribution (see d.o.)
• When: Monday, 4 October 2021 | 14:00 - 14:20 UTC
• Where: Hopin - Room 2

• Who: Nick Veenhof
• What: Personalization is a hot topic, but in the era of consent, privacy, and GDPR it may seem it is no longer acceptable to do any form of personalization. Personalization doesn't necessarily have to be this evil non-transparent tracker without any advantage to you as an end-user.
  Personalization is a proven easy of increasing engagement when done right. The user feels understood, it leads to higher conversion but it has to be done in all trust and consent. In recent years many software companies were created to deliver these highly contextualized experiences using personalization but none of them really delivered the necessary trust so that you could use the technology in the same way you are using Drupal.
  In the landscape of personalization there is a new open source player in town and this is Apache Unomi & N8N as integration hub.
  I will interactively explain, by means of exercises, how Drupal, Mautic, Apache Unomi & N8N can be seen as a Digital Experience Platform without lock-in, without handing over your data to a company with other interests in this data.
  The workshop will delve technically deeper into what Apache Unomi is, how it can be used and how personalized experiences can be delivered in a way, compliant with the GDPR rulings and with respect to users' trust.

• Who: Nick Veenhof & Finn Lewis 
• What: This panel discussion will explore some of the common challenges that Drupal distributions face and how each Distribution addresses the same issue in different ways. Since DrupalCon Europe 2020 we have had a number of meet-ups where distribution maintainers have been sharing their progress on various issues as well as highlighting common challenges. We have all learned plenty from each other already but never run short on topics to explore, from managing configuration updates, front-end theme approaches, headless strategies to the governance of the contributor community. We will discuss some of the key learning from the year and look ahead to how Drupal core can better support Drupal distributions in the future.

• Who: Wesley De Vrient & Frederik Wouters
• What: We'll show how we've built the content editing experience which is available in the Open Source Drupal 9 Rocketship Distribution. See the pictures at https://www.drupal.org/project/dropsolid_rocketship.
  This distribution uses all kinds of Layout Builder contributed modules such as Layout Builder Asymmetric Translations, Layout Builder Extra Templates, Layout Builder Lock, Layout Builder Modal, Layout Builder Operation Link, Layout Builder Restrictions & Layout Builder Restrictions by role, and more.
  All of these modules are combined together to create a wonderful but ambitious editing experience where paragraphs are no longer needed to support complex use cases while maintaining a certain control over the look and feel. This power of paragraphs is kept, but not using it simplifies quite a lot from an entity point of view.
  We'll explain how we came to this mix of modules, the challenges we had and have, and how we tweaked the interface to what it is now.
  Next to that, we'll explain where we still want to go and how you can use this distribution for your clients and address the ever-growing need for more "WYSIWYG" demand while keeping the structure in the content to power ambitious & future proof digital ecosystems.
