Do we have an collaboration issue?

Get off your islands, and chat to collaborate with each other.

Get off your islands, and build projects together.

Get off your islands, and lose your company restrictions.

Get off your islands, and together play this game.

This session will handle on how we tend not to collaborate and contribute, most things happen in own or company interest. It brings the story behind a few successes, followed by a BoF to share yours.

Not just within our own Drupal community but also cross FOSS discipline. All these free and open technologies have so far strengthened each other whenever people really collaborate. When looking at the findings from Drupal Europe, we've seen these kind of collaborations between Drupal and Symphony, Wordpress and Drupal, Rocket.chat and Drupal, Mautik with Drupal and also other solutions.

Now its up to us "the community" to start setting a new course, finally collaborate amongst ourselves and hop off our cosy and isolated islands.
So that we can collaborate together for all Free and open Source greater good.

This session is aimed at everyone in our community, only together we can make this work to the next level.

If you look at Drupal from a birds eye view, its the best in 3 things:
-- complex content models;
-- keeping proper revisions on that;
-- Maintaining secure and absolute access to the revisions.

If you want to go and play with realtime information or big files, its far from optimal.
By collaborating with other Free and Open source software, we as Drupal can remain an integral player in the game.
