The Boulder Drupal Meetup
With DrupalCon quickly approaching, we are lucky to get a sneak peak at one of the many great sessions that will be discussed.
Greg Marshall (gregmarshall) and Amanda Marshall (Amarshall) will be giving a talk on Views in Drupal 8.

Together with Marc Issacson (vegantriathlete), let's have a look at how some of those best practices are being put to use within Drupal 8.

Recommendations for Drupal developer to handle site migration
Can anyone recommend a developer who could migrate a site from HTML into Drupal 7, probably before the end of the year? I don't yet have a formal RFP or job to offer, but would like to have a couple potential contractors to contact to see what they think the job might take.
Thanks,

This month we are excited to have Neil Cousineau joining us to talk about access control. Access control is a vital part of any website as it determines which users can do what actions. It also allows you to hide certain data from users who are not allowed to view it.
Getting this setup correctly can be a tricky venture. Neil has quite a bit of experience with this at E Source and he's going to give us some tips on how to get this done correctly to ensure your secrets aren't leaking out.
As always, there will be great food and beer available for all.

A new year is upon us, let's start it off right. This month we'll have an open discussion about the next year of the Central DBUG. This is your chance to help shape our meetups, and voice ways to make them more valuable to the community. What topics would it be good to hear about for Drupal in 2017? For the internet and technology as a whole? Do you have something you've been itching to talk about? What things worked, and what could have been done better last year? How are you liking the pizza orders? We want to hear from you, so bring your thoughts.

Last month there was a brief discussion about what we should do for this month's meetup. Since it would fall a couple days before Thanksgiving, I've heard suggestions for "Drupal Games" or a "Drupal Iron Chef" night. Are there any other ideas for a lighter meetup that anyone wants to suggest?

This month we'll be doing an Agile round-table discussion. Prepare for an open conversation about the things we're doing that's working, or things we've tried that isn't working. Are there parts of Agile that you find impossible to do, or parts that are indispensable to your team's success?
Should time permit, we'll close with a brief show and tell. Bring any tools or modules you think someone should know about, and be ready to talk about them for about five minutes!
Pizza and socializing starts at 6:30 p.m.
Discussion and presentations start at 7.
