Writing performant CSS

If nothing else, writing performant CSS sounds good to me! Will it be possible for me to tune in via Skype or a Google+ Hangout in case I can't make it in person?

I posted slides since I'm sure someone will ask if I can post them. Also I have set up Google+ Hangout.

My attempt to host a Google+ hangout failed, after my connections was reset I don't think it worked again despite saying it was broadcasting. Sorry to those people who tried to join the hangout.

Thanks for trying, Ishmael. I was wondering why it wasn't working & figured there were hiccups as I've run into them myself in Downtown the 1st time i tried. Were you able to record it? Really great topic so i sure hope so.

To Mike's point, I never knew that was an issue but it makes sense as once I created it (as a gmail user), it seemed to work. Undocumented feature? ;)

gmail vs. google apps. try using "invite"

mike stewart's picture

Bummer to hear. If it helps, and I'm not sure its even related, but at the contribute meetups in Long Beach (next Tues eve, is the next), I feel we've had problems using a pre-shared URL to "hangout" -- the problem seems related to if the host/guests are use different google services: google apps versus gmail.

We've solved it by having a gmail user start the hangout, and then invite google apps participants that want to join. We use IRC to coordinate so that everyone gets invited...

However, using just a pre-shared URL to hangout, seems to work consistently for gmail accounts. So we've been naming the room ladrupal, which equates to the published LA Drupal hangout: https://talkgadget.google.com/hangouts/extras/ladrupal -- but I don't think the URL has any meaning.

I got slides, but no

I got slides, but no recording. I think I need a meet up to or at least a training from more seasoned organizers on what technologies to use for recording, sharing, and their process. I'm definitely doing something wrong or my set up isn't helping to facilitate.
