Dream Migrations and Imports: Feeds UI + Migrate Engine - intro before Contrib sprint

This year we celebrate 4 years since Drupal 8 was released. A one-click upgrade from older versions is one of its greatest features, thanks to the Migrate module being in core.

Wouldn’t it be great if the two frameworks could be combined together?

UPDATED: "Boy Scout" Web Strategy -- switching from "Be Prepared," to "Wilderness Survival"

UPDATE:  The presentation I'd planned to give was about how to be ready for a disaster tomorrow -- and now that we are *in* a disaster, that hardly seems valid -- but perhaps I can pass on other lessons I have learned from previous disasters to be more helpful to everyone today.
