Migrating Revolutionary Output to Drupal 8
Migrating Revolutionary Output to Drupal 8 (Socialism & Orange Is the New Black) by Seth Fisher
We'll discuss in depth the largest challenge of the project - migrating links to YouTube/YT Playlist videos within body fields that open in a Colorbox modal. This involves:
A (fairly complex) custom Migrate source plugin
Multiple custom Migrate process plugins
Multiple patches to the Video Embed Field module
Multiple failed/discarded alternate solutions
We'll also discuss what the site is, and how it is constructed. The discussion of the Migrate plugins and Video Embed Field patches are geared toward developers (especially the source plugin). However, the overview of the site and the discussion of failed/discarded approaches are for a wider audience.
Seth Fisher has been a Drupal developer for over a decade. He is from Staten Island, NY, currently living in Philadelphia, PA and working remotely as Lead Drupal Developer for Taoti Creative, a Washington, D.C. based digital agency.
Seth became involved in political activism in 2008, which coincided with his introduction to Drupal. Since then, he has used his skill set to help organizations in the arenas of socialism, anti-imperialism, and independent media. He has also written a television pilot screenplay about socialism, and performed standup comedy from a working class perspective.

Contain Yourself! Docker + Ddev
Contain Yourself! Docker + Ddev as a local development environment by Jeff Markel
Ddev is a fairly new, Docker-based development environment (primarily) for PHP-based CMSes - Drupal, Wordpress, Backdrop, or Typo3. This Lightning talk will focus on how to spin up quick new Drupal systems as needed, for development, testing patches, reviewing pull requests, or just trying out new modules.
Jeff Markel is a System Architect and IT Manager at Johnson & Johnson. He’s been working with Drupal since 2004 and as a professional Drupalist since 2009. Prior to that he worked as a Java developer, a C/C++ programmer, and even as an Assembler programmer working for IBM, developing mainframe operating systems. When he’s not working, you’ll probably find him walking somewhere - he walked over 500 miles this May, just for fun, did a 30-mile walk from Jersey City, across the GW Bridge, and down to Battery Park last month and will be doing another 30-miler along the Jersey Shore in September.

Tools to measure the health and security of your server
Tools to measure the health and security of your server by Scott Wolpow and Robert Rusinko
Let's face it, logs are dry, boring and a pain to read.
A servers health is directly related to security. Often the first sign is unusual loads on the server.
We will review some popular tools to look at your server and how to establish baselines.
Scott Wolpow is a lifelong entrepreneur. He has been involved in computing since the days of Western Union Teletypes. He joined the Drupal community in 2009 and has been managing projects for various clients. Recently he joined forces with Robert to form Public CTO, which offers technical expertise for companies that do not have their own tech team.
Robert Ruskino, after a long career on Wall Street in Fintech, created a startup for hosting high performance computing in 2008. As cloud computing became dominated by a few companies, he shifted gears. He is currently working with Scott Wolpow at Public CTO, a firm that is vendor agnostic and helps companies with technology.

PS: Jeff Markel is unable to present at Ddev at this meetup. That lightning talk has been moved to next month.
