It is time for our April DUG meeting again.
We would like 3 or 4 presentations (15-20minutes) with an additional 5min Q&A about topics related to Drupal.
You may present a projects you recently completed, a module you recently worked on, a Drupal-specific technical concept you mastered... Please let me know.
If you have a question and would like to find out something about a Drupal-specific issue, let me know as well...
Please sign up for this event and tell your friends. It will be held at MD Systems, Hermetschloostrasse 77, CH-8048 Zürich. http://www.md-systems.ch/content/standort. MD Systems will provide food and drink.

Two ideas:
Whenever something in Drupal does not do as it is supposed to do, 'cache' comes up. Maybe some expert could give us an overview of the cache mechanisms and potential problem areas.
Entites in D8. I have learned a few things about this subject over the last few weeks. See https://drupal.org/node/2220565 and https://drupal.org/node/2192175. Both pages are work in progress. Nonetheless, I can give an overview of the status and the next planned steps.
Sorry, I will not be able to come - topic suggestion
Hi!
Sorry, I will not be able to come. I will be on vacation with my family on the 30th. However, I do have a topic for a future DUG. Last time MD Systems shared about their Installation Profile. I would be interested to hear more about how does one build their own installation profile.
What can and cannot be save in an installation profile? What modules do you use for what?
Modules that I have looked at regarding installation profiles and copying functionality to new or existing sites so far: Features, Apps, Feature Set, Profiler Builder,
Profile Switcher, Patterns, Patterns Server, Patterns Client, Profiler(Library), and Kit (A specification guideline.)
I would be interested in hearing from someone with experience with these modules and how they all work together to build installation profiles and then add other functionality to new sites by configuring them quickly with these tools.
If someone wants to speak on this I would be thankful if they could wait till I can be there to hear it too.
God Bless!
