Join us on Monday, February 17th @ 7pm, for a Drupal study group:
2920 W. Olive Avenue, Suite 110
Burbank, CA 91505
818 562 7004
(Parking is on the street.)
Venue provided by ahimsauzi @ Medium Digital Studio.
Pizza provided by The Cherry Hill Company.
The format of this meetup is very casual (and round-table), so bring whatever Drupal-related projects you are currently working through, and (if you'd like) some food or beverage to share.
We'll roughly break the meetup up into two parts:
FIRST HOUR
We will discuss challenges that we are facing in our real projects, and help each other find solutions. Bring whatever (Drupal-related) questions or challenges you have! This covers a broad range from wireframing/UI challenges to difficulty getting a migration script to work to ... [insert your specific idea here].
SECOND HOUR
We are working together to build a Drupal 8 site, giving us the opportunity to learn from each other's working styles and test the boundaries of Drupal 8 without the restrictions of working on a client site. The project is going to focus on the challenges of a media-centric responsive site. It will morph as we come up with ideas.
Anyone can join the project and study group at any time!
On February 17th, we will:
- Have those who are fully set up with all the pieces of the project start working on the site we are building
- Have a breakout group for those who aren't yet set up to get all the necessary tools and pieces on their system, including local development environment, drush, git, etc.
- Have a breakout group for those who would like to learn the basics of drush and git
RECURRING MEETING
This meeting is scheduled for the third Monday of every month.

Carpool from West Los Angeles
Hello group,
I'm wondering if anyone is commuting from West LA to these meetings that I can catch a ride with? I would offer to drive but my car is less than reliable these days so I can only offer gas money instead of sharing the driving at this time. I plan to buy a new car soon so the arrangement can change to a shared driving situation later.
Thanks, Rick

You guys prob know all about this BUT
Even though I got some errors when I installed Kala locally I find this site

Kalatheme is pretty cool.
Kalatheme is pretty cool. Alec at Kalamuna is coming down for GLADCamp next month and will be presenting on it:

Is this D7 or D8?
I noticed that the menu bar was D8, but instead of 'Extend' on the toolbar, it has 'Modules'. Also, when you look at the modules page, you see a lot of D7 modules in the list -- particularly, module-filter, & views is the 7.x version, not the D8 core version. Personally, I like things that way, but I'm not really sure what Drupal I'm using there...
Thanks for the post, Jeff
Not a Drupal 8 site
See http://kalatheme.kalamuna.com/CHANGELOG.txt - its (currently) 7.26.
notes from the Feb. meetup
Hi all, in preparation for the meetup this coming Monday, following are some key points from last week.
Our primary effort last week was to figure out how code and configuration will work, given the changes to the way that configuration works in D8.
What we determined then is that we would move the configuration staging/production folders out of the temporal files directory and into a docroot directory where they can be managed in git.
The workflow for everyone will be this: we have a master branch in git that is our site. Each individual doing any work on the site will work on their own branch (with your name, so that we know who the branch belongs to). Once you want work that you have pushed to your branch to be merged with master and moved to our production site, you will contact one of three people: Joe Chellman, Ashok Modi or me. Whoever you reach out to will review your changes and merge them to master.
While this means our repo will be large, it also means that we will have a very redundant system and an easy way to help each other out -- e.g. if Jeff wants Nareg to look at something he's done, he just asks Nareg to check out his branch and review it.
We are still working on how to get everyone set up locally with the correct database and configuration files, given that the configuration import was not working correctly at the time of our last meeting. Hopefully that will be resolved by the time we meet this Monday.
Ashok is also going to put a backup system in place for our production site so that we have something to revert to if one of us ever accidentally hoses the project.
Ashok is setting up the basics now, and then I'll take what he puts together and create documentation that any of us can use to get ourselves set up moving forward.
Looking forward to the meeting on Monday!
