This month Hector Iribarne (@hectoriribarne (http://iribarne.com) talked about using Kalabox 2 as a local development environment. The presentation covered the following topics:

• Installing Kalabox 2 (alpha 0.10.6) (https://github.com/kalabox/kalabox#installation)
• Creating a site on Pantheon.io
• Using Kalabox 2 to download the site and work locally with it
• Pushing up the changes from the local dev site to the dev site on Pantheon

Jay Epstein (@jeppy64 http://jay-epstein.com/) went on to talk about his Relativity Data Model (http://jay-epstein.com/relativity/overview) in Drupal 8 (D8). He discussed that some of the contrib modules used in the D7 version of Relativity are now in Drupal 8 Core (e.g. Entity API, Entity Reference, etc.). He went on to discuss some of the contrib modules from D8 that he is considering using in Relativity for Drupal 8:

• https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_browser
• https://www.drupal.org/project/inline_entity_form
• https://www.drupal.org/project/file_browser

We left some time at the end of the meetup for Q&A. Jay and Allan answered Carlos' questions on a site he is building.

We had three remote participants via Skype/Join.me and five in the meeting room.
