Join our monthly meeting of the Waterloo Region Drupal User Group meetup.
Date: Thursday, April 20th, 2017
Time: 19:00 to 21:00
Location: The Working Centre, 58 Queen Street S., Kitchener
Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) is a web technology that aims to improve a web browsing experience by reducing page load and render times. The AMP project is supported by Google and in many cases, providing an AMP version of a website can lead to preferential placement in search results, especially, but not limited to searches from a mobile device.
This month at the Waterloo Region Drupal User Group, Jon Hines will outline the basics of AMP pages and discuss the benefits and pitfalls of integrating it with Druapal. We will also walk through the process of configuring a traditional html Drupal 7 website to serve content in AMP-HTML. The presentation should leave room for questions and exploration.
Meetings for the Waterloo Region Drupal Users Group happen on the third Thursday of each month (except for July, August and December). The meetings are held at The Working Centre, at 58 Queen Street South in Kitchener, between 19:00 and 21:00.
If you have a Drupal related topic, or showcasing a web site or a module that you built with Drupal, please contact us, and we will arrange for a talk.

Some hyperbole, but some genuine concerns too.

One of my colleagues wrote about AMP within FOSS as well (we worked with Google on the Drupal module).
