Fastest Drupal Ever

Posted by elijah lynn on May 21, 2015 at 9:57pm

I think it would be great to play maybe 5 minutes of the Fastest Drupal Ever presentation by Fabian Franz and Wim Leers at DrupalCon LA. 80ms logged in user page load with custom block by using BigPipe!

Full Name not showing up?

Posted by elijah lynn on May 22, 2015 at 12:19pm

If your Full Name is not showing up on the signups page, I urge you to comment on this thread. => https://www.drupal.org/node/2214339

Currently charlie-npd & bleen18 don't have a full name on their g.d.o profile and their username is not their full name. But it appears their is no full name field on the d.o profile anymore. g.d.o syncs up with the d.o profile to get the full name. At any rate, please post feedback on the thread above so we can get this resolved.

Using Drupal w/ a Raspberry Pi to Build a Library

Posted by dshesq on May 22, 2015 at 5:43pm

A possible presentation recaps a project that I have been working on to run Drupal on a Raspberry Pi.
The draft presentation, entitled "Building a Pi Stack Library" is at:
http://72.0.232.58/stackpi/sites/default/files/2015_05_18_StackPi_Presen...

The Site running on the Raspberry Pi is at a fixed IP address of:
http://72.0.232.58/stackpi

It would be helpful if the site is accessible (not blocked) on the NBC WiFi.

Great Steve, if it turns out

Posted by elijah lynn on May 22, 2015 at 6:02pm

Great Steve, if it turns out to be blocked (which it shouldn't) I will have a backup Verizon hotspot for you to use.

Can I ask for your commitment to this presentation? I'll add you to the agenda right away.

It definitely sounds interesting. One thing that would be great to know about and a question I am sure to ask will be, "Can you share some benchmarks?". So be prepared for that ;)

Also, is the official title

Posted by elijah lynn on May 22, 2015 at 6:18pm

Also, is the official title you want for your presentation "Using Drupal w/ a Raspberry Pi to Build a Library"?

Thanks

"Using Drupal w/ a Raspberry Pi to Build a Library"?

Posted by dshesq on May 22, 2015 at 6:33pm

Yes, you have my commitment for this presentation, so you you can add it to the agenda. "Using Drupal w/ a Raspberry Pi to Build a Library" would be a good title.
Thanks

Also, let me know if you think you may want a 15 minute slot for this. Seems like this may be a popular one for people to ask questions on.

Okay, let's keep it as a lightning talk for now since we have to other sessions competing for the last spot.

Drupalcon LA Highlights!

Posted by forestmars on May 22, 2015 at 10:13pm

For those of you who were in Los Angeles for Drupalcon last week, we'd love for you to spend 5 minutes covering some highlight that you found to be particularly interesting, something like what was your favourite session or BoF at Drupalcon or what was the coolest thing you learned at Drupalcon.

We already have some lightning talks recapping some great LA sessions. If you went, please pick a highlight that you can talk about in 5 minutes, and submit it in the comments here. Could be anything, a quick demo, a session summary, maybe even a few bullets rolled into 5 minutes… whatever!

Intro to the SPL

Posted by ericduran on May 23, 2015 at 4:34pm

I wouldn't mind doing a "Introduction to the PHP SPL" talk.

That being said it looks like talks are being added as their submitted and I don't want to take a slot from someone. So only add me if other talks don't get submitted ;)

Okay, as you suggested I

NYC Camp Volunteer Breakout

Posted by mirie on May 27, 2015 at 11:35pm

Hey all~~~!

We're having a NYC Camp Volunteer Breakout during this meetup!

NYC Camp will be 5 weeks away and if you are interested in helping out in any way, this is your time to shine and join in the fun!

Please join us early (at 6:00) to explore volunteer opportunities. If you can't make it by 6:00, that's OK -- you can join the breakout session at anytime! Can't make the breakout session at all? That's okay too, we'll be accepting volunteers right up until the camp! Reach out to one of the NYC Camp organizers during the meetup or anytime by emailing us at: info@nyccamp.org

See you there!!!!

Great, I added this to the

Posted by elijah lynn on June 1, 2015 at 9:11pm

Great, I added this to the list. Although I am confused because someone edited the post and says it starts at 6:15pm. 6pm for sure right?

Hello, I don't have access to edit this Drupal groups page, but will change the time on Meetup.com. Let me know otherwise.

You need a profile picture

Posted by forestmars on June 1, 2015 at 9:28pm

If you add an avatar picture to your GDO profile, you will be able to edit the page. -ƒ.

6:00 pm would be awesome

Posted by forestmars on June 1, 2015 at 10:42pm

6pm if you say so!

I expect the NYC Camp planning group would prefer an earlier start time.

Last call for LA lightning talks

If you went to Drupalcon LA and would like to do a 5 minute recap on something you found really interesting, please submit as a comment before tomorrow. Thanks.

Team,

I know that my first name/last name needs to show up on the signup list for the June Meetup so I can get through security. My first/last name are in my profile, but they're not showing up on the signup list.

Can someone assist? I'd really like to attend tomorrow's Meetup.

Many thanks,

Edit profile on g.d.o

Hi Gwynn,

I had to set mine up at groups.drupal.org (different from drupal.org). Under Edit profile -> Personal -> Full name

Edit profile on g.d.o.

Posted by gwynniejt (not verified) on June 2, 2015 at 6:31pm

Thanks for the quick reply. I can see my full name on drupal.org but unfortunately, the field to edit "full name" on groups.drupal.org is grayed out and not editable. The message under this field is "Your full name if different from your username You can change this setting at https://www.drupal.org/."

Am I missing a step?

Signups Closed - Final List

Posted by elijah lynn on June 3, 2015 at 4:21pm

Hey everyone,

We have 79 attendees for tonights meetup.

I manually went through a bunch of d.o profiles to find the real names. At least until we work through the g.d.o issue we are having right now I think we need to try to do that.

I also went and merged those who used their full name on meetup.com. I think as long as we allow RSVPs on Meetup.com we need to also do this. Can you believe that 41 people RSVPd on Meetup.com and of those 19 had used their full name and did not also RSVP here on g.d.o?! That means 19 people who could potentially show up and not be let in.

Here is the final list that I am submitting to security.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kQVgaAVxVTBVnWjN6rU7s8byWjx-ci8Z...

Make sure your name is on it before you come. See everyone tonight!

NinaNic,

When I tried clicking on the link directly from the email message, I received the same error. However, when I went to Elijah's post in groups.drupal.org and clicked on the link, I was able to see the list.

Thanks for confirming it was through email. I completely forgot g.d.o sends emails out for the event because I have been ignoring/filtering them for so long.
