A few months back, Jay put out the challenge to our Broward Drupal members to use Relativity for their projects and our members have responded!

This month, we started the meetup with Jay reviewing Ron's new site that he is building in Drupal 8 with Relativity. Ron has been refactoring his site and we spent the first half of the meetup reviewing his data model with Jay pointing Ron in the right direction.

Last month, Gregg Shanefelt ( https://www.macchiatomarketing.com/ ) began discussing the data model that was used to create the Relativity Documentation site, including the main content types and fields used in the site. Jay also chimed in a few times to help improve the Relativity Documentation Site. This month, we continued discussing the Relativity Documentation site from Mr. Shaal's ( https://3paces.com/ ) perspective. He demoed the current Relativity Documentation site, including some of the improvements they made. Jay shared a few different approaches for adding functionality via the data model without having to use contrib modules.

As a preview for next month, I will be getting off my butt and talk about building a site from CSV files. I will be presenting "From CSV to Drupal 8 site - Part 1." Who needs lorem ipsum when you can build your Drupal 8 site from data in CSV files. This presentation will also cover how to export content and users from a Drupal 7 site to CSV files, and begin talking about the process for importing them into Drupal 8 without having to write custom code.

We had two remote users and four in person.
