Id love to do my performance tooling and measurement talk on the night if theres space.
it covers :
why is performance important
tools and techniques for measuring web performance
what you can easily do to get a decent page speed score
what is a decent page speed score

let me know - I can do a 15 minute or a 30 minute version depending on the slots avaliable.

cheers

Sure

Sure, Chris is going to be doing a Twig talk, so those should be a good together. I think that a 30 minute talk should be fine.

If you send me a working title and any other information via https://www.drupal.org/user/381388/contact, I'll update the event and do tweets etc.

Thanks!

That sounds like a good topic

That sounds like a good topic Tim.

Is there going to be enough time to sort this out in 2 weeks?

I'm on holiday that week and would love to hear your talk Tim.

Could you bang the slides online after please :)

yep - no worries

tim_marsh's picture

yep - no worries @chrisjarvis1 - I'll be sure to do that.

@opdavies - any chance we might film these - quite selfishly on my part - I'l like to get something filmed so I can use that as a reference next time I submit a drupalcon talk !

+1 for recording!

@opdavies @tim_marsh - if we could film that would be even better ;)

Hopefully

Interesting that you should mention that. :) After seeing the videos from DrupalCamp North with a small action camera, I'd like to do this and we can post them on YouTube or something, assuming that the speakers would have no issues with me doing so.

Hopefully I can get something sorted before the 19th. :)

Oh wow that would be so
