When it comes to decoupling, it turns out there are many options on how to decouple. Not only are there many technology choices in choosing the right frontend framework and APIs involved, the questions become also more foundational: Which system should be in charge for handing different aspects of the applicaiton, e.g. routing, placing blocks or authentication?

Three days of sessions, discussions and meetings, one day for community, businesses, publishers and practices, and another day of code sprints - Drupalcon Vienna was a blast! It was very special experience for all our team members to have Drupalcon in town and we are proud to be among the supports of the event.

While the Drupalcon webseite has a good few pointers to the well-known major tourist attractions, as locals we'd like to share our knowledge about some of our favourite places with you! Check out the list of our recommendations!

The first Drupal IronCamp took place in the beautiful capital of the Czech Republic in Prague at the end of November 2016. More than 200 attendees from 27 countries took part in four days of sprints and two days of sessions.

Im Rahmer der CodeWeek.eu organisierte Drupal Austria organisierte einen ganztägigen, kostenlosen Workshop um einen perfekten Einstieg in das frei verfügbare Open-Source Content Management System Drupal 8 anzubieten und so den Entwicklungsstandort Wien zu fördern. drunomics unterstütze die Veranstaltung und ich durfte den TeilnehmerInnen "Coding mit Drupal 8" näherbringen. Inzwischen hat Drupal Austria auch die Aufnahmen des Workshop veröffentlicht und das Resultat kann sich sehen lassen: 4 Stunden hochqualitatives Drupal 8 Schulungsmaterial.

Today is a big day for the #d8rules initiative! Our crowd funding campaign was successfully funded and reached 100 % on Drupalfund. We really want to thank all you great 125+ supporters from the community: together you made this happen. Fago & Klausi may continue with the progress that has been made already for porting Rules to Drupal 8 now and we are looking forward to gather additional funds in order to make sure that all 3 milestones can be reached in time!

#d8rules reaches 100% on Drupalfund

Since the DrupalDevDays in Szeged we've worked a lot on getting the remaining beta blockers of the Entity system done, which are mostely centered around an unified field repository and entity storage improvements; i.e. automatic schema generation for your content entities!

Today, I've the pleasure to introduce the #d8rules initative, our combined effort to get the Rules module ported to Drupal 8 in time!

Drupal 8 is coming...

Fortunately, the first beta of Drupal 8 is coming closer so it's time to make sure all the modules are ported and ready for Drupal 8. Unfortunately, the Rules module - my long term number one contributed module - is about to be left behind. I've worked a lot on Drupal 8 to get critical Entity API improvements like the new Entity Field API (called Entity Property API at the time of the introduction) as well as the new Typed data API done. Of course, the work on core is time intensive, not "done" yet and won't stop - so there is not a lot contribution time left for my contributed modules. :/

So where is Rules for Drupal 8 now?
