Drupal CRM - Redhen and Salesforce Integration
Our friends at ThinkShout in Portland have written a Drupal based CRM called Redhen. Can this replace something like CiviCRM? Salesforce is all the rage, how does the Salesforce integration module work? What are the capabilities and scenarios where you could use them? Jeanne Cost and John Hanley from Fuse IQ will be talking about a couple recent projects where we are using Salesforce Integration (one with Redhen and one without).
DIY Drupal 7 Performance
Running a Drupal 7 site on a shoestring budget? Mike Carper will discuss some useful tips to make Drupal work better for logged in and logged out users when on budget hosting. Partial inspiration for this comes from answering questions on drupal.stackexchange.com about why Drupal is slow.
Topics to cover:
- Page caching options
- Drupal Optimizations
- Basic database tuning
- Basic performance measurements with the devel module
- Using XAMPP to generate a cachegrind

Location is the Commons in the NW Worklofts
Hi Everyone,
Fuse IQ is sponsoring the Commons space in the NW Worklofts where we are located. When you are facing the building, go down the stairs on the right. Then it's right on your left - Suite 303.
Boat Street Cafe is located here as well, if that's a landmark for some of you.
See you there!
Please excuse the non-local, but...
coworking?
...Uptown Espresso @Alaskan has keywords
"walk-up shop
seating: outside
wifi: no"
If I'm missing something please tell me. I'm pretty sure I can can find places around to sit and work, but it would be a shame if there were Drupalers gathered behind laptops and I missed them because I saw only a small store front? :)
Co-working location
My mistake. I've never been there and I thought it was a full cafe. As an alternative, I suggest Cherry Street Coffee House on First Avenue. I know they have seating and wifi. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
The non-local will use that suggestion to spend (at least the latter half of) the afternoon behind his laptop ;)
Who's coming - we have beer!
Just found our leftover stash of beer and some non-alcoholic drinks that we can provide for the meeting. If someone wants to spring for pizza or bring some other snacks there is a kitchen area.
As much as I hate to clutter up your in-boxes, it would would be really helpful to see who is planning to come so we can make sure we have enough chairs.
Thanks,
Jeanne

Signup list
Cool, I did not know I could see those. Someone should really do something about the functionality of groups. You know, like the Drupal.org Community Tools Group that I am part of. ;-) Waiting for Acquia to do their part on the upgrade.
So yes, everyone please hit the signup button so we know how many to expect.
Please sign up

coworking event
I'm new to this Drupal thing. What is the co-working event prior to the meeting?
Co-working
It's just a casual meetup before the official meeting, where people can hang out in a cafe and work on their projects, interacting as much or as little as desired.
Meeting tonight!
Don't forget the monthly SeaDUG meeting is tonight and it's not at Tableau. It's being sponsored by Fuse IQ and is at the commons space in the Northwest Worklofts. When you are facing the building, go down the stairs on the right. Then it's right on your left - Suite 303.
Please click Sign Up (in the original post) if you plan to attend.
Co working diverted.
In case anyone checks here: I didn't see any power plugs for my aging laptop in Cherry, so I wandered around through sunny Seattle, and am now even further south, in Zeitgeist (on Jackson and 2nd ave S)
To anyone working in the city: if you find me a power plug, tell me and I'll come say hi (or get here and look for a druplicon). Otherwise I'll see you at 6.

Slides from last night

During the Q & A part I remember mentioning that I needed to add some answers I gave to this presentation. I believe these are the 2 parts.
Deadlock detection:
It's pretty easy to figure out what your last database deadlock was by running
SHOW ENGINE innodb STATUSand then under the "LATEST DETECTED DEADLOCK" section it has all the info about that deadlock. If you capture a deadlock as it's happening by runningSHOW PROCESSLISTthe status will usually say "Waiting for table level lock" or "Waiting for table metadata lock"Slow Query Analysis:
pt-query-digest is the best tool I've found for the job. Blog post about it: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2014/03/14/tools-and-tips-for-analys.... Link for wget http://www.percona.com/get/pt-query-digest. There are nice frontends for it as well http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2012/08/31/visualization-tools-for-p...
At dinner I was talking about how MySQL's InnoDB engine is one of the best NoSQL solutions out there. Well there is a plugin for MySQL that gives you direct access to InnoDB using the syntax of the Memcache protocol: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-memcached.html. It's being heavily developed in MySQL 5.7 (it is available in 5.6) and the performance of it is improving quite a bit (5.6 vs 5.7).
Also I mentioned The 4 flavors of MySQL:
https://www.mysql.com/
http://www.percona.com/software/percona-server
http://mariadb.org/
http://webscalesql.org/
Also don't forget to signup for this years PNWDS where you'll see other high quality talks like the one I gave last night.
Thanks to one and all!
Being my first user group meeting or not (it was), a shout out to everyone for putting on a fine event last night. The knowledge was percolating, the people were awesome and a great time was had:)
Hope to see you all next month!
