The third meetup for the Front-End Drupal Meetup. The format is similar to the monthly meetups of the Boston Drupal Group -- short "lightning talks" -- with specific relevance for front-end configuration and development. If you have an idea for a presentation, please post it here in the comments so that others will have a sense of meetup's content. Similarly, if there's a topic you would like to see covered, post that as a comment as well and we'll try to recruit someone to cover it.
Drupal newcomers are especially welcome.
Location
MIT Tang Center, E51-149

Post-Meetup > Muddy Charles Pub

Presentations that teach
Now that I've started to post the videos from the Boston Drupal Group meetups and the new Front-End Drupal meetup (http://drupalgroup.mit.edu/), I'd like to make a pitch for more presentations that simply teach or demo ideas or techniques that you perhaps take for granted in your own development but which would be useful for others to have an introduction to. Using the the Conditional Fields module, for example, to streamline your site's user interface. Perhaps a demo of your development environment. In other words, sharing some of your skills, tips and techniques. Allowing others to look over your shoulder as you work is a great way to teach and grow all of our skills.
You don't have to cover a topic definitively. Introduce the basics and either develop them further in subsequent presentations, or allow comments on the posted videos to fill in some of the blanks.
For format, a 5-10 minute presentation, followed by 5 minutes for questions, would be a YouTube-friendly length.
