In Person (Greater Fort Lauderdale, Broward County Florida):
Jay Epstein @jeppy64 and me @hectoriribarne

This month Jay Epstein (@jeppy64) talked about Display Suite. Jay took us through base module install and configuration. Then he explained what Display Suite extras are and how to interact with all the options. He covered what Display Suite does under the hood to override Drupal's Manage Display tab. He went into a real-world scenario of how to view a designer's art comps and transpose the main content region field stacking order. Also, he covered rendering views as a Display Suite field that can be applied to field output and the "Expert" field template option for any field on a Display Suite layout.

Hector gave us a preview of a future presentation on moving content from a live D7 site to a fresh local D7 site, including moving content and users via CSV files.

Next month, Jay will be talking about "Display Suite Part 2: Scratching the surface".

We had nine remote participants via Skype/Join.me and two in the meeting room.
