Meeting tonight!
Our monthly SeaDUG meeting is tonight at 6:30.
We'll be talking about upgrading from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9. With D8 set to reach end of life this November, it's a highly relevant topic for many of us.
Jeanne and Dave will discuss their first upgrade from D8 to D9 and lessons learned so far. For others that have done an update, feel free to also share your lessons learned as well.

why is slack a thing here
i signed up for the slack thing and it wants me to pay for historical posts? why is this not a drupal thing? what does slack have that we couldn't otherwise achieve in drupal? why does this community want me to pay to participate?
why can't the SeaDUG site be managed in drupal?
i'm sorry but this is my first experience with slack and i'm wondering why SeaDUG is trying to sell me on it..
it seems like much of the drupal 8/9 community where it will sell you the answers and i question why i am determined to work with it..
Slack is a chat program that
Slack is a chat program that we use for informal and realtime chats. They can be asynchronous too. Kind of like a modern version of IRC.
Like bdanin said, we are on a free plan, and it's not required to use Slack to be involved with SeaDUG. You can attend meetups and make posts here in g.d.o. instead. We are a small local group with no funding (that I'm aware of) so we don't pay for the access to older historical data. If you try to browse older channels, you may see that message. But you should see quite a bit of backscroll in the more active channels like general, front-enders, jobs, and random. No need to pay for anything.
Drupal.org also has a Slack workspace, and they do have the paid version, so you can search and browse for quite a bit of history there. Here's more info about Drupal slack communities: https://www.drupal.org/slack
Slack not required
Hello,
SeaDUG uses the free slack version and it's not required in any way to participate. You should not pay for it, and anything that asks for payment related to SeaDUG-Slack can be ignored.
You can get access to meetings from here directly and by email, you can register for the meetup here, and then message the group admins and you will get the Zoom link for the meetings.
Slack is used as an informal place to have loose instant-message chat-room conversations. We have a non-profit account on Slack, and just to reiterate, there is no need to pay for Slack access.
