*Podcast episode player*

[Jeff Eaton](http://drupal.org/user/16496) talks about the [Snowman project](http://groups.drupal.org/snowman) for Drupal core, which proposes a number of installation profiles for Drupal 8 core. It's a #smallcore-related project in the sense that it tries to separate the boundaries between Drupal as a product and Drupal as a framework.

This d.o. meta issue of [ "More flexibility for core installation profiles"](http://drupal.org/node/1242448) has some more specific issues related to the Snowman project for creating use-case focused profiles for Drupal Core. And here's a [mock-up of "Choose your Drupal" product](http://drupal.org/node/1260214) as suggested by Snowman. It's a demo page of different features and functionality that people may pick as different Drupal products.
