Hey everyone,
Just a friendly reminder that TODAY (Wednesday, Aug. 11) is the date of our monthly Portland Drupal User Group Meeting.
Here is what's on the agenda:
1. "Janrain Engage: Connecting Drupal with the Social Web" presented by Brian McGinnis, Forest Basford & Larry Drebes (Janrain team members)
Need to quickly connect your Drupal website to the social web? Key team members from Portland-based Janrain will be here to discuss their Janrain Engage service and how it empowers your site visitors to sign-in with their existing accounts on Facebook, Google, Twitter, Yahoo!, MySpace, AOL, or other networks, and then simultaneously publish user comments, reviews or other activities from your site to multiple networks. In particular, the Janrain team will address the current state of the Janrain Engage Drupal module (http://drupal.org/project/rpx), ongoing efforts to port the module to Drupal 7, and important insights into how you can best leverage the power of third-party social networks.
2. "Git for Drupal (Part II, Advanced Git)" presented by Michael Schwern
Michael will delve deeper into essential git commands--including how to best create repositories, add files, clone, commit, fork, branch, stash, and merge. Because a Drupal project has some special considerations that other projects don’t, he'll cover some important key action steps (such as using remote vendor branches to track Drupal core and modules, leveraging the benefits of github.com, and merging in your local patches). We'll also open up the discussion to experienced git users in the audience who will offer their insights into best practices for using git with Drupal.
