Right after finishing my 3rd year exams at university, I took a flight from Colombo (Sri Lanka) to Zurich, to start my Drupal 8 internship at MD Systems. 23rd of October 2014 was my first day at work...

With "Südostschweiz Beta" on http://beta.suedostschweiz.ch/ the first NP8 instance and thus the first News Portal based on Drupal 8 went live. Last year MD Systems developed, together with Somedia and Gassmann Media, the NP8 Install Profile which served as the foundation for todays "Südostschweiz Beta" website.

The core of the NP8 project is completed, soon there will be the initial release of the first media portals with Drupal 8 (D8). Due to its intensive work on core and contrib modules of the next version of Drupal, MD Systems was able to play a leading role.February 2014 saw the start of the NP8 project (News-Portal with Drupal 8) of MD Systems. Together with two partners in the Swiss media landscape, Somedia and Gassmann Media, we started with two-week sprints the work on Drupal 8 core and related contrib modules of D8.
