What about the upgrade path? Instead of an upgrade path, Drupal 8 have a migration path! Some Drupal 6 migrations already in core, more in the works, see https:// groups.drupal.org/imp https://dev.acquia.com/blog/seamless- migration-drupal-8-make-it-yours

Slide 62

Slide 62 text

What’s this 8.0.0 talk? Drupal 8 will use semantic versioning Drupal 8.1.0 will include new features and/or APIs New releases will be (mostly) backwards compatible New 8.x releases every 6 months (planned) No need to wait years for new things Bugfixes in minor releases, eg. 8.1.5

Slide 63

Slide 63 text

What about contributed modules? Check status of contrib module upgrades at: drupal.org/project/contrib_tracker To avoid upgrade pain, stick to well-vetted contributed modules over custom code. Other tips: www.acquia.com/blog/getting-your- site-ready-drupal-8

Slide 64

Slide 64 text

And my own modules? To start the upgrade of you own code, use drupal.org/project/drupalmoduleupgrader If you need to or want to start your module fresh, see drupal.org/project/console Creating Drupal 8.x modules https://www.drupal.org/node/1915030
