Topics suggested so far are:
- Continuous Integration (Ru has a volunteer to talk about this)
- Content editor experience (Rich S can talk a little about)

I've booked the function room at the Guinea for that date :)
My "volunteer" is Jamie Wiseman (AKA instanceofjamie) from Code Enigma / Freshbridge Hosting. I'll double check with him that he's up for it, but he was certainly pretty keen last time we spoke. If you're reading this - hi Jamie!
Rich - I'd be interested in hearing you talk about content editor experience. I'm tempted to try porting a contrib module to D8 and talk about how I get on next month.
Hello :-)
Hello :-)
Okay, so maybe I should say
Okay, so maybe I should say more than just 'hello' ;-)
Yep, definitely up for it.
I'd basically be talking about the magic of using Jenkins to automate everything that's a pain in the proverbial about development - basically all the tasks that get in the way of you just writing code. I'll cover why use a CI setup at all, talk a little bit about the things it can do, and how we've used Jenkins at Code Enigma to do some of those things, and then do a little bit of a live demo of the whole thing working.....
Well, hopefully working ;-)
A Jenkins talk would be
A Jenkins talk would be great, we tried to set it up recently but ran into some issues.
sounds great
This sounds really great! Looking forward to it.
Sounds good, using the Coder
Sounds good, using the Coder module with Checkstyle may be a good topic to discuss as well!
Wales based peeps only?
Do you have to be based in Wales to attend this meetup?
Yep - they check your
Yep - they check your passport on the way in :-)
Bristol rather than Wales
Hey Dan,
This is the Bristol and West user group meetup, but posted to other relevant groups - sometimes g.d.o puts Wales in the email notifications even when posted to multiple groups.
Essentially it's in Bristol but anyone is welcome to attend.
Hope to see you there!
Thanks for clearing that up!

Thought it seemed a bit odd.
Wow, April already
Don't forget - this is tomorrow :)
If you're coming, please click the "Sign Up" button, just so we know how many we're getting, and don't start early or anything.
Unfortunately Jamie's had to pull out this month, due to his childcare plans getting swopped around, so I'm going to do a quick talk about porting a module to Drupal 8. (The plan is to spend this evening doing it and then report back tomorrow on how it worked and the gotchas I find...)
If you're keen to see Jamie's talk about CI, he's still keen to do it next month.
See you tomorrow!
We'll look forward to CI next
We'll look forward to CI next month, thanks for putting yourself forward Ru - how long is your session and what time do you want to get started? Last month most people had arrived by 7pm so might be good to start about then.
We (me and Lukus) are going to put together a short talk on admin/content experience so we can do that too.
Cheers
Rich
I'm hoping it'll be about
I'm hoping it'll be about 1/2hr - 7pm sounds good.
Of course that depends on how easy the port is. I'm not expecting it to "just work" though ;)
Haven't seen you for ages.
Haven't seen you for ages. I'll be there!

I'll be there
I'll be there too

Has anyone got a projector
Has anyone got a projector screen they could bring along tonight? No worries if not - I should be able to find something flat & white around the house to project onto, but a real one'd be nice.
Cheers!
No email reminder?
I used to get an email reminder about meetings. Has something changed?
I think you only get that if
I think you only get that if you've signed up for the event, and I can't see you in the signups list.
You can subscribe to all events in this group if you'd like to be notified about everything.

Was a great turn out, glad to see lots if new faces!
Really enjoyed the talks (even though I missed most of the first one) and the debate it encouraged was really good.
Also learnt a lot about underfloor heating so all in all a very informative evening.
Bring on the next one!
