"The Update Status Module for Drupal 9 Readiness" by Zoltán Herczog
This module scans the code of the contributed and custom projects you have installed and reports on any deprecated code that must be replaced before the next major version. Available project updates are also suggested to keep your site up to date. Over time, the project will resolve deprecation errors. See https://www.drupal.org/project/upgrade_status

In his free time he likes contributing code to Drupal and getting stuck in elevators. His goal for the future is to get more experienced as a speaker.

Presentation 3
"What's this node doing in my composer?!? Simplify your life with the Composer NodeJS installer" by Jon Pugh
- Install Node and NPM inside
vendor/binusing the exact version you want! No need to install node or use a container. - Use the same method to install grunt or Bower or whatever else you might be using.
- Use asset-packagist to install npm and Bower libraries without node at all.
- Hook into
composer installto kick off theme builds using these tools, removing the need for a second command. - Attempt to include a decoupled front end in a different directory.

Drupal Q&A
This month's presentations are on the shorter side so we are dedicating some time after the presentations to get your Drupal questions answered. Come bearing questions (and answers) no matter how basic or complex!
