This week, approximately 1,400 Drupal enthusiasts came together for DrupalCon North America in Portland, Oregon. As a matter of tradition, I delivered my State of Drupal keynote, often referred to as "DriesNote".

We had some exciting news to share! Twenty-three years after Drupal's inception, we are preparing to launch a second official version of Drupal. It will be built on top of Drupal Core and common contributed modules, and available as a separate download alongside Drupal Core. The code name for this work is Drupal Starshot.

For more the details, hop over to my blog post and watch the video of my keynote. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you join in and get involved!
