Theming with Drupal - Rapid prototyping workflow and why you should quit wireframing.
Presented by Mike Stewart
The main discussion will be centered around project workflows, the importance of wireframing, why you should stop wireframing with graphic tools and start using Drupal. We'll also discuss how wireframing relates to a typical workflow of requirements definition, design, buildouts, theming, deployment. I will discuss and demo a rapid buildout and exploration to identify client needs and drupal capabilities out of the box.
Tools / modules discussed or used to various degrees in discussion:
- drush & drush make
- views
- block
- context
- zen + skinr + grids
============================
Venue Notes: For those who arrive after 7p (Presentation starts at 6:30-45p). You will need to find security to assist you with reaching the 4th floor as elevators only go to 4th with a keycard.

Duh, now seeing that you've updated the date/time, for some reason I thought this was tomorrow. I guess I got it crossed with OCPHP ... Still planning to come though, so see ya in a few weeks. (Or tomorrow because Chef is very relevant to me right now). Cheers.

You presenting, Mike?
This is precisely what I am looking for!
Spot-on.
Hi, yep I'm presenting. I
Hi, yep I'm presenting. I had an epiphany recently about web tools, workflows, drupal and the like.
Not totally sure I'm onto something... as I'm still honing my ideas, but hope this is the jumping off point for a nice blog post and drupal camp session (or two). Hopefully will be interesting. Probably a bit controversial. I'll talk about current "best practices" ... and what IMO is REALLY wrong with them. (even how it relates to responsive designs).
I'll be mixing in years of IT & web design into, a short 30-45min talk as it relates to Drupal 7 theming.

Too far for me but please post a link if you happen to record this.
This is going on still right?
This is going on still right? I saw the Meetup.com side of things is being closed down.
And do doors open at 6 PM?

It's Still ON!
Yeah, William had to update his account. I contacted him directly and the meet-up is still a go.
Event still on.
Kevin, the meetup is still on.
As Russell mentioned, on the meetup side of things, I just forgot to update my payment options by the due date. So, OC Drupal on meetup.com still lives on for another year.
Anyhow, I usually don't get there that early but believe conference room should be open @ 6p but you can enter the building any time. It is the large conference room on 4th floor (separate from KWall suite #250).
