After an unplanned week off, here's what we looked at for Web Dev Rev notes: Drupal 8's Symfony components were updated; "Out of the Box" has been committed to Drupal 8.6.x; how "Out of the Box" avoiding licensing concerns with photography; Drupal 8 will require a minimum of PHP 7 starting in March 2019; DrupalCon is giving away the giant Druplicon; DrupalCon Nashville and Tennessee's discrimination standing; only internationalization release blockers remain for Drupal 8's Migration UI; how to take your Drupal code and make it a contrib project; using Drupal 8's address field in custom forms; integrating a simple Drupal text Paragraph bundle with PatternLab; making your site faster with preconnect hints; and finally, battery status readout as a privacy risk.

This 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.
