Agenda

Git workflows for Drupal projects

Mack, Smith, Raphael, and Shawn will discuss how they use the Git version control system to manage Drupal projects. Learn about the benefits and consequences they experienced when their team switched their version control system and how Git helped them find an efficient workflow.

Mack, Smith, Raphael, and Shawn craft Drupal websites at Affinity Bridge.


Lightning Talks

Josh Walker will be presenting on Live Themer, a GUI for making display level modifications to your theme. For video demo, please see: http://marmaladesoul.com/livethemer


Attendees are invited to share their experience by giving a 2 to 4 minute presentation on any topic of interest to the Drupal community. If you want to use a laptop to show a website or control panel please be sure you have the necessary cable to connect to an overhead projector.

Drupal Q&A

Join us at the pub afterwards and bring your questions on anything related to Drupal from how to do something technical in PHP to what modules are needed to implement a feature you want.

I'm away from Vancouver until September. Will this talk be recorded in any way, or notes put up somewhere? I'm hoping to move to git-based deployment soon and would love to see how others are doing it.

any sort of video camera that's better than an iPhone + shotgun mic for picking up discussion talk. Catherine had a lapel mic for the speaker that I've borrowed for the night.

I have a camera I'll bring by

Not attending - maybe a space?

Hey, having my usual end of week energy crash, and going to be joining virtually instead of in person today. Not sure if that means there's an extra space if someone's wait-listed, but thought I should post in case! (I signed up here not on meetup.com)
