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

Drupal Eco System
NYC Camp!
Sign up below in the comments.

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.

Front-end Performance (@Snugug)

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

Looking forward to it, I really enjoyed the last one, which was my first NYC meetup!

Terminus for Pantheon

Posted by likewhoa on February 15, 2014 at 10:22pm

I can do a 20min talk on Terminus which is a tool I just got familiar with since nyccamp.org is using pantheon and I love CLI utilities.

I'll go through the process of importing a site directly into pantheon and demo pantheon specific site functions. This presentation assumes you are familiar with DRUSH as this is a drush plugin.

bending technology to fit businesses.

Maybe next time?

Sorry you can't make it tonight, but looking forward to your Terminus for Pantheon presentation next month!

I'm happy to give a talk on

I'm happy to give a talk on front end performance! Partially because it's super important, partially because Eric refuses to listen to anyone who works with him talk about performance.

That was great

Hey Sgugug,

That was a great improv presentation yesterday. The references to authors and terms I had not heard before (TTFB?) were very interesting as well. +1

Drupal Ecosystem, NYC Camp & Code of Conduct

Posted by willyk on March 5, 2014 at 5:38am

If people are game, I'd like to do two 5 min lighting talks:

(a) Drupal Ecosystem: one quick high level talk on the companies, platforms, partner programs, demos, events, resources (all with an NYC spin) -- it would be helpful to get some attend feedback on what I'm missing as we're hoping to include this for Intro to Drupal/Decision Maker trainings at NYC Camp; and

(b) NYC Camp: a summary of some of the exciting details for our upcoming 100% free Drupal event occurring from Apr. 10-13 at the UN, and a reminder about the importance of the Drupal Code of Conduct when attending Drupal event.

Both of these would ideally be pretty participatory/involve some quick discussion.
