Event: Broward Drupal Meetup - Gregg Shanefelt presents: Gatsby/static Site Generators - Wed August 14th, 2019
This month, Gregg Shanefelt ( https://www.macchiatomarketing.com/ ) will be talking about GatbyJS/static site generators. Static site generators can play nicely with Drupal and make it easier to take advantage of the speed, security, and scalability of static sites. This is one approach many people are considering for making their sites faster.
Our Dunkin' Doughnuts location that we have been using since April 2010 is remodeling the next few months, so until we find a new location, we will have all remote meetups. In other words, this month will be 100% remote.

This month, Jay talked about using his Relativity (https://jay-epstein.com/relativity) methodology for building a DrupalCamp site. He started out by defining what the stakeholders want to build: "I am building a Drupal 8 website so that DrupalCamp organizers and their volunteers can promote their upcoming camp."
He went on to talk about how machine names allow you to define back-end identification and allow for label changes at any time. After that, he went on to talk about the data model, including how to make decisions about the components that make up the site:

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.

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.

Hey everybody,
We're going to have a Drupal meetup in Brevard for the first time in forever! This meetup will be the first of the newly-organized (thanks, Adam Varn!) Florida Drupal meetups that will be broadcast via Zoom.
Each month, a different geographic area of Florida will have an in-person meetup and broadcast it via Zoom (link will be posted here prior to the meetup).
I'll be presenting "11 tips to start your Drupal project right" at this meetup.
Following the meetup, we'll be heading to Ryan's Pizza for dinner.
Hope to see everyone there!

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.
