Topic for Omaha Drupal Meetup (Q1 2020)

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Does anyone have a topic on which they'd like to present?

When we have a posted topic, we tend to get a better turnout, so I'd like to get something figured out here if we can.

I know that Creighton's been looking at how to make the content from Paragraphs reusable and could show how we're using Paragraphs and how we plan on making the content reusable across a site.

Any other ideas?

Core Media

Drupal core has added new and significant media features in the past few releases. At UNL, we've been working to implement those features - oEmbed (for remote video), Media Library, and embedded media in CKEditor. We've run into some missing functionality and have identified several bugs for which we've submitted patches against core. Long story short - to use some of these features in the current release (8.8.2), you need patches. I'd be happy to make a presentation on these new features (and the patches you'll need).

Configuration Managment

Those are both good topics. Config management (particularly for multi site type deployments) might make a good topic for this or future meetups.

Meetup Date?

We are looking to the 2nd week in March for our next meetup, but I wanted to see if this group had any thoughts about a good topic.

For scheduling purposes, would it be possible to get the date nailed down?

March 11 as possible date

Hi,
Dave Reid was going to try to book Do Space over lunch on March 11.
I hope that works for the group. As soon as he confirms, I'll send the Meetup announcement. Do you want to talk about the Media work you've been doing?
Yours,
Christian

Sounds Good!

Can we do 3/25 instead?

Hi,
It turns out that March 11 is when Creighton does its Spring Break luncheon.
Creighton staff will need to go to this.

Can you do 3/25 instead, Chris?
Yours,
Christian

3/25 works!

Drupal 8 Media: Current Developments

Over the past two years, the media landscape in Drupal 8 has seen a significant evolution. Much of the contrib code that was previously needed to support media management and usage has been replaced by Drupal core functionality. In many ways, this process has been a bit like keeping up with a moving train.

This presentation will cover several areas:

  • Media entities
  • View modes for media entities
  • oEmbed provider management
  • Custom oEmbed providers
  • Media integration with CKEditor
  • Media usage tracking
