Special week for SGV Drupal Meetup Special Presentation Drupal Emergency Preparedness
We are having a special meeting in the SGV on the third Thursday on August 21.
We will also be on Zoom conferencing. You can join the video conference or go to https://zoom.us/join and enter meeting ID: 129 319 220
The special week is to allow us to have a special presentation. The special presentation is from Keri Poeppe entitled Emergency Preparedness for your Drupal Site. This is something we all need.
Keri is with Gorton Studios, a Drupal dev shop in Minnesota, and NodeSquirrel, a Drupal backup service based on the Backup and Migrate module and built by the folks at Gorton Studios. Our goal is to give people helpful information about dealing with website emergencies. We'll also share a bit about NodeSquirrel and explain how Backup and Migrate / NodeSquirrel is part of being prepared. But, to be clear, this isn't a product push.
We will return to the fourth Thursday on September 25.
