Beethoven Sprint Recap - Progress Towards Plone 6
The Beethoven Sprint took place in Bonn, Germany, and Bucharest, Romania, with a focus on finishing the frontend part of Plone 6
The most effective (and fun) ways to move things forward in Open Source development are sprints - after years of remote sprinting due to COVID, we were finally able to hold a sprint in two locations simultaneously, with more than 25 people around the community gathering together.
The Beethoven Sprint was held in Bonn, Germany, and Bucharest, Romania.

Bonn
Main goals were achieved, and we are now closer than ever to make Plone 6 a reality. The main blocker, Slate in core, is on its way. Other nice-to-have features to be included in Plone 6 include:
- "base_view" default for custom view-less content types
- initial iteration of the core Block Style Wrapper
- extensive work on the new images srcset for frontends
- initial design of the infrastructure to support them on the backend
- rethought and refactored user and groups control panel
- migrations, classic-to-Slate, draftJS-to-Slate, classic-to-Volto in general
- DnD support for nested structures
- Schema driven stock Blocks support
- Containers for backend and frontend, nightly for buildout.coredev
- and fixed tons of bugs...
just to name the most important... the PR list is huge!
