Discussion topic by Victor Velt
I'd like to show the css3 media queries we're using on the new Yale News website, that will be launching later this month. These adapt our page layout for display on the iPad, iPhone, etc.

A few things I could discuss....
I've been working on a D7 site with some nice features, including using the Node Block module to make nice widgets based on complex content types. I've been using the Field Collection module a lot, too. I'd be happy to show how I constructed some of these.
The other thing I could discuss is how I worked around a limitation with assigning text formats to a specific field. D7 makes this kind of hard, but using the Better Formats module and a small custom module I wrote, I've got what I think is nice work around.
One last option -- I've been using Testing in my custom modules. I'd be happy to discuss writing basic tests of your custom code.
Drush/Quickstart
If anyone is interested I'll share what I've learned about setting up Drush aliases and using them with sql-sync and rsync. It's really nice to do an incremental sync of the files directory from live to staging/dev servers. Maybe someone can expand upon it. I also use it with quickstart for virtualbox, if anyone is interested in that.
+1 I'm interested in hearing
+1 I'm interested in hearing more about that.
Central CT Meetup
At the central CT meetup next week we'll also be having presentations on responsive design and possibly a presentation on using quickstart, especially for debugging.
