Introducing Virtual Florida Drupal Meetups!

Greetings everyone!

I'm pleased to announce the launch of a new Florida Drupal initiative - streaming virtual meet ups!

Let's face it: sometimes, you want to get to your local meet up but "life" gets in the way and you can't attend. Or, you might see an awesome topic being shared somewhere else in the state but it's too far to drive. Or maybe, unfortunately, there isn't a meetup near you and your city.

Virtual meetup research from DrupalCon Seattle community summit

Hey everybody,

On Tuesday of DrupalCon Seattle week I attended the Community Summit. One of the (literal) roundtable discussions I was involved with was for virtual meetups. I was going email a braindump directly to Adam Varn (the current coordinator of Florida's upcoming virtual meetup initiative), but I figured it would be more valuable to post it here to gather (hopefully) additional feedback.

Relativity for Politics (Part 2) - Broward Drupal Meeting Minutes - Wed April 10th, 2019

This month, Jay continued talking about using his Relativity (https://jay-epstein.com/relativity) methodology for helping Ron Norman build a Politics site.

He started out discussing the Candidate content type and what fields that we need to add. Last month we added the following fields to the Candidate content type:
First Name
Last Name
Middle Initial
Party Affiliation
Home State
Issue Answer

Jay added an image content type and talked about how different properties on the image field affect if/how images are displayed.

Relativity for Politics (Part 1) - Broward Drupal Meeting Minutes - Wed March 13th, 2019

This month, Jay talked about using his Relativity (https://jay-epstein.com/relativity) methodology for helping Ron Norman build a Politics site.

He started out with the Basics of Relativity, including how to use the Auto Entity Label module. He went on to discuss what types of fields can be created based on how you want to model you data for later consumption/search/display. Jay finished by discussing how to create a link between how a candidate thinks about an issue and how to refer to the issue itself.

We had six remote users and zero in person.

D8 Layout Builder and Basic Page

Drupal 8.6.10 fresh install with CiviCRM installed. I'm trying to play around with Layout Builder. Decided to apply it to Basic Page content type, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Am I missing something?

Article content type is working as expected. Searched online to figure it out with no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
