WCMS Web Dev RevThis week, we looked at the following Web Dev Rev notes: what's new on Drupal.org for December 2017; dates for Drupal 8.5.0's alpha and final releases; things learned in Drupal's 17 years and Drupal turns 17; how it's never "just" a patch; understanding Drupal's release cycle; how the Drupal 8 version of the Webform module now depends on the Contribute module; open source with a cap in hand; the Spectre attack and critical CSS; what's new in HTML 5.2; using the new dialog element; and Mozilla will be requiring secure contexts everywhere.

Next up, we started by New York City council member Benjamin J. Kallos present "Drupal & Webforms as Public Policy Tools Supporting Online Voter Registration", a segment from a December Drupal NYC meetup (the entire meeting is embedded below, but the clip should start approximately from Benjamin's presentation).
