Topic
In keeping with our semi-regular monthly topics, this month we tip our hat to Halloween with the topic Drupal: Trick or Treat?

Please propose talks diving into an aspect of Drupal that you find to be an absolute treat, or maybe a quick lighting talk on a trick you've learned in Drupal. Or maybe something in Drupal that *tricked* you at first until you figured it out!

Also in keeping with our monthly opening question, we'll be asking everyone to share 1 Drupal Trick or Treat from your personal experience.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.... unless you're too afraid! Muhahahaha!!

Can I do a presentation on rapid frontend prototyping with Fepper and Pattern Lab?

sounds interesting

Well that would have been perfect for September's topic (Front end design & development in Drupal) but sounds interesting.

Plus one

I would like to see more about Pattern Lab as I just had the pleasure of configuring Drupal to output all of the classes it wanted ;). You know what I am talking about e2tha-e!

PhpStorm Tips & Tricks

Elijah Lynn's picture

I can do a talk on PhpStorm Tips & Tricks. It would be of interest to those switching from Sublime. I would not go in depth on Xdebug (another talk) but more of how to find and navigate things quickly, arrange windows, refactoring, getting rid of cruft, plugins (MySql, Drupal Support) and so much more. I have some slides here => https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jDwPnGQ83inUy8cC3_UWhPlq-QZfEbSj...

OR

I could do this as a breakout session so people can get some muscle memory and go through everything with me.

Hrm, this may not work for a

Hrm, this may not work for a main talk anyways since it is a 20 minute slot. I think this talk/breakout is closer to 40-50 minutes.

Break it out

That's fine, Elijah, it could be done as a breakout session. We can do it in the other conference room, and have the N2D (New to Drupal) BoF in the reception area.

Here is the issue I said I would create during my presenation because "View external documentation" was not working correctly in PhpStorm 8.

I've got my camera ready for taping talks. :)

You can't have a left brain without a right brain. Keep them both going!

DrupalCon Amsterdam Keynote

Elijah Lynn's picture

If anyone is interested we could watch the DrupalCon Amsterdam keynote by Dries. I found it very inspirational and Dries talks a lot about some great ways to grow and sustain our growing community. It is about an hour long.

Thanks for mentioning this

Thanks for mentioning this keynote by Dries. I finally got around to viewing it. It's great that he is paying so much attention to how to scale things as Drupal continues to grow and how to evolve the community / stakeholders around it.
