Welcome to the Seattle Users' Group!
This is a geographic Drupal User Group meant primarily for planning local Drupal related events and meetups, and supporting users locally.
SeaDUG meets regularly (at least once a month officially) to talk about Drupal, to plan Drupal events, and to socialize. During SeaDUG meetings we showcase modules and projects, share tips and tricks, and answer nagging questions about Drupal.
There is also an online front-end meeting that takes place on the first Tuesday of the month at noon Pacific Time. It's not always posted here, but information about it can be found in the front-enders channel in the SeaDUG Slack workspace.
PLEASE do not post job offers in this group unless they are local to Seattle. Any job posted to this group that is not in the Seattle/Puget Sound Metropolitan Area will be promptly removed.

SeaDUG Online Front-End Meeting (June 2, 2020)
At today's online front-end meeting, I'd like to continue our discussion about image styles in Drupal 8. At the last meeting, I showed a script to generate image styles in bulk, based on defined sets of values. Since then, I've converted the script into a flexible, general-purpose module, which I can demonstrate. Related to the subject of image styles, we can also talk about responsive image strategies and breakpoints, or whatever others want to discuss.
