Drupal CMS: Golden standard for privacy and data protection

As the Drupal CMS strategy v1.0 describes, supporting the Open Web is our responsibility. Drupal's Open Web Manifesto clarifies, that the Open Web is strengthened by every individual’s right to choice, privacy, and security. The Open Web must be designed to protect — not exploit — personal data and public discourse.

The "Drupal CMS Track 8 Privacy and Compliance" is governed by this responsibility. It delivers the necessary technical implementation but also provides information and advice for other tracks and the whole product to get it right on all levels.

This track's outcome should not be perceived as judgement, it's about information and recommendation. Users of Drupal CMS can make their own (risk) assessment and make conscious decisions about privacy and compliance. However, we are not lawyers and do NOT provide legal advice.

This session provides insights on the status of Drupal CMS and lays out the roadmap for future improvements when it comes to data protection, privacy and compliance.

Drupal Project Initiatives Keynote

Drupal’s initiatives form powerful teams that make great things happen. Some self-organize to get new improvements to the base system, while others coordinate event organization, spread diversity best practices, collaborate on promotional materials, and so on.

DrupalCon Pittsburg uses a new format where you can meet the initiative leads for contribution day directly at the beginning of the day.

Hear from key community leaders about what they are working on, the challenges they are facing, and how you can get involved directly afterward.
