I am happy to share that Lauri Eskola has accepted our invitation to become a Drupal Core Product Manager.
The Core Product Managers communicate with different types of users, gather data about how Drupal is currently being used, and represent Drupal's end users (like site builders and content authors). They help determine the core feature set and work to holistically improve Drupal's out-of-the-box experience.
Lauri has been working with Drupal for almost 13 years. Not only is Lauri a subsystem maintainer of the theme system, Claro, and CKEditor 5, but he has also been a Frontend Framework Manager and a Drupal Core Committer since 2017.
Throughout the years, Lauri's enthusiasm for driving user-facing improvements has grown. In light of this, we have decided to transition Lauri's role from being a Drupal Core Frontend Framework Manager to becoming a Product Manager.
Lauri is looking forward to helping the project by prioritizing and supporting efforts to make Drupal an even more powerful tool for ambitious site builders.
