PRESENTATIONS

❗ 18:30 Kick off. News.

1️⃣ 18:45 Presentation 1: Stranger Danger: Finding Security Vulnerabilities Before They Find You!
=== by Developer Steve Coochin [Snyk]
Open-source modules on ecosystems are undoubtedly awesome. However, they also represent an undeniable and massive risk. You’re introducing someone else’s code into your system, often with little or no scrutiny. The wrong package can introduce critical vulnerabilities into your application, exposing your application and your user's data. In this talk we will look at some secure coding practices in PHP and in Drupal along, also looking closer at some known vulnerabilities.

❗ AROUND THE ROOM
Three elements: (1) Name; (2) Drupal role & context in ten words or less; & (3) something interesting in Drupal or other webtech that you've been working on lately.

2️⃣ 19:30 Presentation 2: 20 Drupal Modules in 20 Minutes.
=== by Morgan Strong [Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art]
A lightning round through 20 Drupal 9 Modules, one per minute, what they look like and what they can offer a Site Builder or Developer. This won't be a deep dive, and won't cover the hundreds of modules that are available, but a nice way to get a bird's-eye view of a selection of some common and not-so-common modules that may help you in your next project.

❗ LIGHTNING TALKS
Got a quick 5 min talk up your sleeve? Bring it along on the day.

❗ All welcome to stick around to continue the conversation over another beer.
