Nate ["quicksketch"](http://drupal.org/user/35821) Haug talks about the efforts that he led to get image handling into Drupal 7, which includes the Drupal 6 equivalents of [filefield](http://drupal.org/project/filefield), [imagefield](http://drupal.org/project/imagefield) and [imagecache](http://drupal.org/project/imagecache) which were made possible after the foundation of [CCK](http://drupal.org/project/cck) Fields in core went in.

Nate talks about:

- The core development process that he went through
- The remaining image handling tasks that got a code freeze exception
- The input format changes and what that means for the future of WYSIWYG
- The future of Image as nodes
- His motivation for helping improve the user experience of Drupal
- And the future of security in providing image handling to untrusted users.
