DrupalCon Los Angeles 2015: The Great Consolidation: Entertainment Weekly Migration Case Study

This talk covers the migration of EW.com from Vignette 6 CMS and multiple WordPress blogs to a unified platform built on Drupal 7. The speakers, engineers from Four Kitchens and Time Inc., discuss the extensive challenges faced during this transition, such as migrating nearly 219,000 posts and 292,000 images, while ensuring performance and code quality. The session also explores the implementation of custom Drupal distributions and the promotion of open-source culture in a commercial setting, presenting a valuable insight for those involved in large-scale content management migrations. This presentation serves as a follow-up to the 2014 DrupalCon session "Time Inc's Big Move to Drupal" and was delivered at SANDcamp 2015.
