An extremely productive Sprint organised by the Drupal Media Initative took place in Barcelona from 3.12.2018 to 8.12.2018. In addition to many improvements designed to increase the media module's stability within Drupal, the primary emphasis was on the further development of the media library and media integration for the CKEditor. With a total of nine participants, including Christian Fritsch and Alex Pott (Senior Developers in the Thunder team), very valuable results were achieved.

The future of Online Publishing was the central focus at Thunder Day 2018. Experts from media, IT and open source not only shared their experiences of the media world with Online Publishing but also provided food for thought regarding future trends, expectations and challenges. Particular attention was given to the question as to how income can be generated in the future from sources other than classic advertising.

How to describe ThunderDay in one letter? Hans Fink knows the answer: An Attention Sign! “People will leave the congress and think of something new.” The CEO of BURDA Studios will join the panel “Revenue streams beyond advertising” and talk with other German Market Leaders about how the future may look like.
