Agenda?

LIGHTNING ROUNDS
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 in comments. Make sure you mention it is for the "lightning round" otherwise it might get confused with a longer presentation. Lightning rounds do not have to be related to this month's topic

Two-factor authentication module (coltrane)
Feeds Meetup module (likewhoa)
Master module (kmoll)

Main Presentations
Have a topic that needs more then 5 minutes, we have slots of 20-30 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. 20-30 min talks do not have to be related to this month's topic.

Auto Cropping your images with focal point (bleen18)
Drupal Commerce Multichannel Demo (EclipseGC)
PSR and Autoloading (Alexander Allen)

Break Out Sessions

Breakout sessions take place in the "other room" and are more informal, covering any number of topics.

New 2 Drupal BOF table - New to Drupal? Bring your questions and problems for expert help. 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.

NYC Camp 14 planning discussion - informal, ad hoc discussion about NYC Camp which is planned for April 2014.

Other ad hoc breakout BOFs - Have an interest? Start a BOF at a break out table

Lightning presentation of two-factor authentication module

Posted by coltrane on January 31, 2014 at 3:45pm

I could give a lightning presentation on work I've been doing on the TFA module for Drupal - providing pluggable two-factor authentication options for Drupal sites

Sweet.

Can we get a microphone?

Posted by Elijah Lynn on February 1, 2014 at 6:58pm

Can we get a microphone for the meetup?

There was one presentation last month that was inaudible due to low speaking volume and nobody in the back could here. This resulted in lack of attention and talking that drowned out the speaker even more.

When we have remote guests going through the speaker system it sounds great, maybe we could use that?

Second the Mic

Posted by monalisa_ny on February 5, 2014 at 2:04am

Just wanted to second the request for a microphone - the last meeting was pretty frustrating as you could barely hear the presenters, and the people in the back talking made it even harder to hear. Would also be helpful if the tall tables were in the back and the low tables were up front :) - hard to see as well.

Looking forward to more...

I'll do 5 minutes to demo the feeds_meetup module, which can be used to pull event information from meetup.com into nodes. This quick demo assumes you know what feeds.module is since this is a feeds processor demo.

20 min talk for PSR and autoloading in D7

Posted by Alexander Allen on February 3, 2014 at 7:04pm

I could do a 20 min. talk that includes an quick intro to autoloading in PHP, PSR standards in D7, and using XAutoload to automatically discover test cases and entity classes. If I speak really fast and my Spanish-thinking mind does not trample me, maybe I could drop in a slide about the future of PSR in PHP and Drupal.

Vote for session ideas in the comments

Posted by forestmars on February 3, 2014 at 8:23pm

Just a general reminder to everyone that you can vote for sessions that are proposed in the comments by clicking the + button below each comment's title/author.

This is how we get a sense of what people would like to see at the meetup.

You can actually vote up ANY comments and posts anywhere on groups.drupal.org. It's a feature not everyone knows about, but is very useful for gauging public opinion and consensus.

yes...

I can do a live demo of devshop.

I'll deploy the nyc camp website, with environments on whichever branches you want, and go through a few development tasks using a devshop server.

MultiChannel Drupal Commerce

I'm happy to give a demo of Commerce Guys, as yet unreleased, module stack for doing Multichannel Drupal Commerce implementations. This is all about Product libraries and Order management.

Posted by kmoll on February 5, 2014 at 2:52pm

If there is still a lightning round open, I can give a quick talk about about syncing modules status (enabled/disabled) between environments with the Master Module.
