Themed Lightning Talks
This month we will again be featuring themed lightning talks. Volunteers will get up to 5 - 10 minutes to present a lightning talk on the following themes.
"Securing clients, users and ourselves."
Security is one of the biggest concerns on the web today. How can we make sure we are providing security for clients, users and ourselves? We are looking for lightning talks that answer this question. Present modules to use for protecting users and data. Walkthrough how to keep a Drupal site secure. Explain the how to report Drupal security issue. Provide tips for communicating with clients about security. Show tools to use to secure your own data and communications.
"Jobs: have one, need one."
Does your company have an open position(s) related to Drupal? Spend a few minutes talking about them and why your company is a great place to work.
Are you currently looking for a new Drupal related job or oppertunity? Spend a few minutes talking about yourself and the role you are looking for.
If you have an idea for a lightning talk for one of these themes, sign up by leaving a comment below.
