Drupal driven radio station management platform
I rode with someone from Austin on the train from the airport to San Francisco a few years back for DrupalCon who was interested in running a radio station on Drupal. Is that you? I think I understand the things we may or may not have been discussing now :), and my laptop doesn't squeal the way that subway did. Did you get somewhere with it?
Thanks

Help make Drupal 8 training available for everyone
Hi all,
Drupal 8 is getting close now with about 40 critical bugs left: https://drupalreleasedate.com/chart/samples. It's possible that we'll see a release in September: https://drupalreleasedate.com/
Our OSTraining team would like to make sure that as many people as possible can use Drupal 8.
However, many new Drupal 8 users will need training, which can be expensive and difficult to find.
So, we're running a campaign to give everyone free access to the very best Drupal 8 training.
The campaign link is: http://kck.st/1Eu07Jw
Many thanks for checking it out
Read moreFrontend Performance Training with Four Kitchens
The best website is a fast website. Users are proven to be happier and more willing to spend time and money on your site when it loads fast and responds quickly to their actions. Adding performance to the ever-growing list of development responsibilities can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be.
In this full-day training we'll cover development best practices to make your Drupal site fast, making the frontend as performant as possible. We will discuss how to set and maintain a performance budget, which helps prioritize site performance over the life of a project. Finally, we will explain the basics of workflow automation, which helps a team stick to a performance budget during development, and serves as a warning system when heavy, slow features are added to a site.
This is a paid training, so you must RSVP via Eventbrite.

Group to work through Pro Drupal 7 Development
Hi folks,
I'm interested in working through the Pro Drupal 7 Development Book to get more savvy at developing modules. Anyone else interested in spending some time doing this? I think it would be more fun to do this in a small group. I would need to do it on Tuesday evenings or else maybe carve out some lunchtimes or setup some other creative schedule. I have my kiddo on Wednesday nights and I teach a class on Thursdays so the usual dojo times are tough for me.
Drupalcon Austin Ticket - $200
Sorry to post this here but I didn't realized how tough it would be for people to find accommodation for next week this short of notice.
One member of my team can't make it kind of last min so if anyone is interested please get back to me before and I can get the name changed. It's on ebay at the moment.
