Held in Boston (note special November host location!)
We will be hosted in November 2015 by Genuine, a full-service digital agency located at 500 Harrison Ave. 5R, Boston, MA 02118.
Themed Lightning Talks
This month we’re trying something new – a theme! Not like a dress-up theme, a lightning talk theme.
With the recent drop of the Drupal 8 RC1, we’ll have talks centered around “One thing I have learned and love (or hate) about Drupal 8”.* Volunteers will get up to 5 - 10 minutes to present their lightning talk on this theme.
After our themed presentations, we’ll have a general call for volunteers. Each volunteer will get up to 5-10 minutes to ask questions of the group, present their recent Drupal work, or lead other Drupal discussions. This is an open floor - that means no preparation is required (for all you procrastinators out there).
- Sign up for a 5 to 10 minute lightning talk by leaving a comment about your topic below.
* Extra points for rhyming

Drupal 8 Big Pipe
I've been following the effort to get Big Pipe in D8 core and can do a lightning presentation on it and the surrounding technologies.
Can someone present on the Enterprise functionality in Drupal 8?
In addition to presenting what we like or don't like about Drupal 8, it'd be great if we also encouraged people to present on any aspect of Drupal 8 they think might be helpful to others. For example, I'd love if someone could present on the enterprise functionality in Drupal 8. I don't have a clear idea of what this involves, yet I feel it has potential relevance to academic web development and I'd love to know more about it.
Thanks to Genuine for hosting and Mike for organizing.
