Final list will be given to the venue at 10pm on May 1st (the evening before the meetup)

Plans?

  • LIGHTNING ROUNDS
    New feature. Have a topic you can present in 5 minutes (with 5 more minutes for questions)? The basic idea is there are patterns for developing sites the "drupal" way ("what would drupal do? etc."). Tell us a quick 5 minute recipe for how to put the Drupal "bricks" together. Theming techniques or other things may also be appropriate. Propose it below. Make sure you mention it is for the "lightning round" otherwise it might get confused with a longer presentation.

    • Cloud Formation - Brian Gupta
    • Signup for 5 minute ~ Lightning Talk
    • Signup for 5 minute ~ Lightning Talk
  • 20 Min Talks
    Have a topic that needs more then 5 minutes, we have slots of 20 minute talks. The basic idea is there are broader subjects or more detailed discussions this is the type of talk you would want to signup for, please mention 20 min talk when posting your talk description and the audience you expect to speak to.

    • Best Practices for Software Teams - Nikki Stevens
    • Field Related Modules - Ted Bowman
    • Responsive Web Design with Sass - Sam Richard
    • Testing your Drupal sites with "Friendly Ghosts" - Eric Duran / Steven Merrill
    • Webchick's Drupal 8 Slideshow! - Tom Turnbull
  • We will also have the New 2 Drupal BoF(birds of a feather). If you are new to Drupal and the talks don't apply to you some of us will take a group and talk with you about your issues.

Signup Instructions!: 7 World Trade Center security checks your photo id against the list of attendees that we provide.

Quite a few people signed up

Quite a few people signed up but not a lot of 5/20 min talks proposed.

Let's get those submissions in!

Hello Sassy people! Snugug's

Hello Sassy people! Snugug's back!

So I guess I'll kick off the submissions with, what else, moar Sass. But, there's a twist! I want to hear what you guys want to learn about gift to frontend. Do you want the basics again? Do you want to learn how to do style guides? Some cool bits and pieces I've got lying around (like a more in depth look at image sprites, nesting tricks for Modernizr, etc…), or a snapshot of RWD with Sass today? Let me know!

(If no one tells me what they want to learn, I'm going to go w/RWD)

I'm also, as always, happy to have a Sass BoF after talk.

Ran across this blog by Webcick, "One Drupal 8 Slide Deck To Rule Them All - Please give this at your local event!" Maybe someone with some Drupal 8 exposure can give this presentation?

I got an Access Denied error when logging in on http://groups.drupal.org (something to do with the drupal.org bakery single sign-on system). Logging in directly at http://drupal.org and then refreshing on http://groups.drupal.org let me log in properly.

I'll love to talk about testing your module with travis-ci and/or your site with casperjs.

A better title might be: "Testing Your Drupal Sites With Friendly Ghosts?" --@smerrill

I'll be dragging @smerrill in to this talk with me.

DevShop Demo

I can give a 5 minute lightning round demo of DevShop, some tools we've built for Aegir that allow browser-based feature commits, deployments, and syncs.

See http://drupal.org/project/devshop if you're interested.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble with this. Please file a bug report in the groups.drupal.org issue queue at http://drupal.org/project/issues/groupsdrupalorg?categories=All - include the url that you're trying to access, screenshots, etc, and one of the site admins should be able to fix it. If you're still not able to signup by tomorrow afternoon, please let us know.

Would be interested to know

capellic's picture

Would be interested to know if someone in the group is knowledgable about the status of the Media module. I tried Media 1 in January and it was lacking. Plus it was apparent that the maintainers were already shifting to Media 2 and that at the time was pretty buggy. How close are we to having a true Media Library?

Media.module rocks much much

Jon Pugh's picture

Media.module rocks much much harder since the DrupalCon sprints. Dave Reid et al really came together, it not only works well, it is much easier to understand!

give the latest code a shot, I am talking media 2.x here... (don't forget file_entity.module as well)

Lightning Demo/Talk?

willyk's picture

I have a working implementation of the Media Module setup for purposes of an NYC 'barn-raising' project that I'm working on. If there are slots open, I'd be up for giving a 5-minute lightning demo/talk on the barn raising and Media module (including the Media Library features). Have also been using both on client projects the last 6-7 months.

@willyk: Sounds great!

Field Related Modules

tedbow's picture

I could run over a few field related modules from this presentation: http://www.capitalcamp.org/content/module-smorgasbord-entites-bundles-an...

Specifically

a 20 minute or just a 5 minute on 1 of these

Core developer

Anyone want a quick introduction to CloudFormation? I can probably fit it into 5 mins, if I talk really fast and skip the full demo and walkthrough of a template.

http://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/

Cheers,
Brian

P.S. - This is more of a devops talk than anything.

Unfortunately...

Turns out I can't make it tonight. Sorry about that.
