User group meeting

Join us next Wednesday, June 10th for a few presentations talking about a few Basics in the Drupal world that might not be so basic to many.

Michael Prasuhn (https://www.drupal.org/u/mikey_p) will talk for a bit about how to "vet" a module. There are literally thousands of modules out there, so how is one to determine if it's the right one for your project? Find out!

Jonathan Hedstrom (https://www.drupal.org/u/jhedstrom) will also talk for a bit about Drush. What is this Drush thing and why should I care? (Hint: type a few words and magic!)

Only local images are allowed.

EDIT: This meetup will be hosted at the Puppet Labs offices at 308 SW 2nd Ave. Come at 6pm, eat some pizza, socialize, and we'll get the talks started around 6:30. Please take a moment to read over the Puppet Labs code of contact conduct: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/community/community_guidelines.html#event-co.... Please enter on the 2nd Avenue entrance.

In April I demoed a fully functional, awesome Media Browser experience, with drag and drop uploads of multiple files at a time, shift-click selecting of Media file entities, to embed images in a slideshow (for example). Check out the Gist:

It's in the "make file" format for use with drush make.

If you have any questions, hit me up in IRC in the #drupal-pdx channel. (I'm jessehs)
