Agenda
What I Learned at DrupalCon Portland
This month, we will be discussing the recent Drupal conference in Portland. Please come and share anything from the conference that you learned, found interesting, or have unanswered questions about. Presentations can be as formal or informal as you’d like, but should be no longer than 10-15 minutes.
Ideas for presentations:
- Your favorite session, BOF, or core conversation
- How useful were the training sessions?
- Did you participate in any code sprints?
- Topics presented in Dries’ keynote, “The Current State of Drupal 8”
- Thoughts about either of the other two keynotes, Karen McGrane’s “Thriving in a World of Change: Future-Friendly Content With Drupal” and Michael Lopp’s “The Engineer, the Designer, and the Dictator”
- Do you feel better prepared for Drupal 8 or more confused?
- Highlights from the Exhibit Hall

Sign me up
This was my first DrupalCon, and I'll happily chat about my overall experience, impressions, and how the conference helped/didn't help me in my role of creating Drupal sites for very small businesses.
Per the fifth bullet above,
Per the fifth bullet above, we should definitely chat about chunks vs blobs ("content first")! Jared, not sure how much you've pimped your Lark cookbook project (and recent interview w/ Eaton) at SeaDUG yet, but it's right in line w/ what I considered the biggest meta theme of DrupalCon. Let's discuss.
Would love to chat about all
Would love to chat about all the DrupalCon things I learned -- especially in the Friday code sprints. But instead I have to be on a Lake Union boat tour fundraiser thingy... Great day for that, eh?

structured content
I can talk a bit about eaton's session and Karen Mcgrane's keynote

as I think they were a theme I heard throughout the conference as Andy did.
Also, Crell's core conversation which I think relates as well

Structured (chunky) content vs Editor controls
At the June 20th SeaDUG meeting there was a stimulating discussion about the benefits of chunky content vs editor controls. The editor perspective was under-represented (surprise).
This article by Jeff Eaton (Lullabot) discusses balancing those competing interests/needs with several concrete examples:
