Hi,
I would like to ask if with Drupal 8 you will be able to create HTML5 applications for the new OS like Firefox OS,Ubuntu mobile OS,Tizen etc.
It seems that the future of mobile applications are HTML5 web apps,so what is the role of Drupal 8 on this one?
thanks

Drupal will be adopting some of the Symfony2 Components [HttpFoundation, HttpKernel, Routing, EventDispatcher, DependencyInjection, and ClassLoader] for version 8. This will provide for more agile, faster MVC and all the HTML5 bells and whistles. Dries is also pushing for a mobile culture for Drupal 8 (HTML 5, responsive web design, RESTful web services) since the vast majority of people will be using mobile to access the web by 2015..
Check out the Dries keynote and Fabien's session on Drupal Meets Symfony -at DrupalCon Denver 2012:
