Thursday, April 18 - 6:30-8:30PM
University of Waterloo, Hagey Hall rm 119.

For this month's meetup, Megan McDermott (that's me!) will show some work in progress on a website for an academic conference. The site uses the Event Platform module as a starting point. I'll demo that module out of the box, and then show some changes we're making for this project.

Next, we'll take a look at setting up a theme with Single Directory Components (SDC) . SDC are now stable in Drupal core! This part of the presentation will cover:

  • What are SDC?
  • Why use SDC?
  • Differences & similarities between SDC and pattern libraries (Storybook)
  • How to set it up

Finally, if we still have some time, I'll show some super-cool newly supported advanced CSS stuff.

**If you would be interested in attending this meetup remotely, please leave a comment here or contact me at megan@woolwichweb.works. We would consider trying a hybrid format if there is interest.

I am going to try and attend

I am going to try and attend this one but it's a 70 km journey for me each way and things change at the last minute. So, an offline option would be great as a backup for me.

I've had another person

I've had another person asking about an online option so I think we will set up a zoom link and record it. I'll post that here a few hours before.

Hope to see you there, one way another!

Will there be a recording made?

I won't be able to attend (even online). If the talks were to be recorded (via Zoom), I would love to be able to watch afterwards.

We will see how this goes! The meeting might not start at exactly 6:30, so if the zoom call isn't open yet, please wait a few minutes.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night, either virtually or in person! Good thing we had the Zoom link set up! The A/V setup didn't work in the room we had so we all ended up watching on Zoom.

Here is the recording link:

I hope that SDC section made some sense!

If we decide to keep doing this maybe we'll set up a YouTube channel.
