Open Discussion: Evolving web needs in a remote working, teaching, and service delivery context.
At Stanford Web Services, I am "responsible for the health of the service" for Stanford Sites, which supports over 2,500 websites.
That's a tall order for someone who doesn't really know what he's doing.
Nevertheless, it's my responsibility not only to ensure that our services remain secure, stable, performant, and scalable, but that we have a vision and strategy for how we're going to do that in the future.
Prerequisites
Intermediate Drupal Back-end knowledge along with basics of how Drupal renders content.

You may not realize it, but your drupal.org profile is a form of resume.
Your profile likely needs a major remodeling.
Imagine competing for a job, or as a team competing for business, and the person hiring you decides to check out your profile.
Will it look the same as the day your registered your account? Has it even been confirmed?
Is your profile picture the default outline?
Come learn how to improve your profile with a minimum of time and effort.
Decoupling Drupal gives you access to a wide range of front-end tools for creating dynamic interactive interfaces, but fully decoupling means you may have to recreate a lot of functionality that Drupal provides out of the box. A progressively decoupled approach allows you to focus your time and budget on key interfaces while still taking advantage of Drupal features that are often taken for granted.
A Drupal web site isn't just a collection of independent web pages with blobs of text; it's a meaningful presentation of structured information. Ideally, for content editors, it also follows the principle of "Enter once, display many times". For example, enter each staff member & their details just once, but display that information on a staff directory page, on each staff member's individual details page, on an emergency contacts page organized by responsibility, etc.

Feeds and Migrate were two primary contrib modules used for data import since early versions of Drupal. Quick comparison of two modules: Feeds module has great friendly UI that allows site builders configure and import data, Migrate is built for developers with power to perform complex backend data processing but UI for this module was less than ideal.
