D8 Media ecosystem is the best Media's ever been in Drupal
That said, lots, & lots of work to be done

Media is Challenging
Complex interdependent functionality
Traditional media types (photos, video, audio, etc.)

+ Local & external files
+ Media meta data
+ Caption variations
+ Caption variations

Drupal 7
Functionality
Core provides fieldable files & images (big improvement over D6)
Limitations
Core File interactions limited to fields
Core Unused files deleted after 6 hours
Core cannot reuse files or add fields to files
Contrib provide lots of rich functionality ecosystem slow to get completed & documented
3. D8 Media Initiative Update
Our Mission
Create the world's best media solution available in any CMS/Framework
Media Initiative Plan
2-3+ year strategy created in 2013 & 2014 at
DrupalCon Prague BoF & NYC Camp 2014
D8 Media Initiative Goals
Collaborative architecture
Collaborative resources
Independent, reusable, and pluggable modules
Team & Community Communication
Momentum & Team Growth
Funding for stand-alone sprint weeks
Media Functionality Priorities
Pushing the envelope of what's possible in Drupal
Best in class editorial experience
Media Embedding / WYSWIYG
Media Browsing and selection
Media Storage
We need YOUR help!
Send us your user stories
Help needed with responding D8 community issues/requests
Current dev team needs to stay focused on D8 development
Will eventually need assistance for D7 backports
(more on Getting Involved later)
4. D8 Media Ecosystem Update
Where are We?
We're almost 2 yrs into our 3 year plan
Making steady progress, but would be ideal to accelerate
In need of more support
A Lot of Work to Get us Here
Summits
NYC Camp 2012, 2013, 2014 (x2), 2015 & (upcoming July) 2016
BADCamp 2014
DrupalCon New Orleans 2016
Sprints
NYC Camp 2013, 2014, 2015 & (upcoming July) 2016
MWDDS 2014, 2015
BADCamp 2014, 2015

Lots of work left too
What is in Drupal 8 Core?
Several Improvements over D7
CKEditor + Basic image upload
Basic file listing page
Basic file usage page
Configurable file cleanup
Drupal 8 Core limitations
File interactions still limited to fields
Unused files deleted after 6 hours
Only basic WYSIWYG embedding support for images
Cannot reuse files
Cannot add fields to files
What is in Drupal 8 Contrib?
Short Answer: Lots!
Long Answer: It's Complicated (for now)
(with your help we can make it easy)
Implementing Media in D8
3 Approaches:
Distros (Thunder) & Starter configurations (Media & Pink Eye, etc)
Modular selection of needed modules
Extending Media (Crop API, Embed API, Thunder Distro, etc)
Modules Ecosystem
See https://www.gitbook.com/book/drupal-media/drupal8-guide/details
Achieving our Goals?
Collaborative architecture
Collaborative resources
Independent, reusable, and pluggable modules
Team & Community Communication (improving)
Momentum & Team Growth (so-so)
Funding for stand-alone sprint weeks (stand still)
5. Get Involved!
More Help is Needed
Likely that 3000+ hours of development remain
Lots of emerging examples:
Thunder DigiPub Distro (by Hubert Burda Media)
Brightcove Module by Provonix (see Kristoff's presentation on Thu)
Facebook Instant Articles Bof/Sprint at Drupal Camp NYC (Feb 2016, by NYC Community & lead by Joe Bachana/DPCI )
Upcoming Summits & Sprints
Dev Days 2016 Sprint (Jun 21-26?)
Dedicated week long sprints?
