As part of their [CMS Dance-Off][1], I was selected to speak about Drupal
alongside other speakers representing Umbraco, Sitecore and Episerver.

The points to cover were:

- How does your CMS store configuration data, 'structure' and content?
- How do you manage source-control, versioning and deployment?
- How do you manage multiple simultaneous editors and/or developers?
- How do you manage upgrades?
- What are the 3 best things about your CMS?
- What are the 3 worst things about your CMS?
- What does the future of your CMS look like?

In each point, tried to cover the differences between Drupal core and developing
a project using Drupal, as well as between Drupal 7 and Drupal 8, as things like
source control and versioning would be approached differently.
