RSVP and Zoom links at the end
Presenter: Mauricio Dinarte (Drupal.org: dinarcon), Instructor at UnderstandDrupal.com
Starting with Drupal 8, the Migrate API makes it possible to write and execute migrations without having to write PHP code. It is also possible to execute them from the Drupal administration interface if the command line is not available or you prefer not to use it.
Read moreGlobal Contribution Weekend 2020
Drupal 9 is slated for release in 2020! Come learn how to contribute to Drupal and be a part of a great Austin and global Drupal community.
Are you new to Drupal? Maybe you know Drupal 7, but don't know Drupal 8. Don't let that stop you! We'd love to have you if you're new and/or this is your first time contributing. Any contribution is a good contribution! Everyone is welcome!
If you have built a site in Drupal, you can contribute. Bring your laptop. The focus of the weekend is Drupal 8 core and contrib issues, but please come and work on what you want.
Read moreLooking for an accessibility expert to help with a D7 site
Hi,
I have a client that needs their Drupal 7 site %100 AA accessible by January 1st, 2020. Although I am a Drupal developer, I have been working primarily with Wordpress the last couple years and I am far from an expert in accessibility. Is there anyone in this group available to help out? Or, can anyone recommend someone?
Thanks in advance

Attend Percona Live--On us!
Hello Drupal Austin,
The Open Source Initiative (https://opensource.org) has been invited to host a booth at the upcoming Percona Live Open Source Database Conference, set for 29-30 May 2019 in Austin, Texas.--but we need our your help.
We're reaching out to the local Austin (and surrounding area) open source community with an invitation to attend the conference on the OSI's behalf--in support of open source software and the OSI's work.
Read moreShould you contribute to open source? It's complicated.
Join us this month for a special presentation from our guest speaker Chris Russo of Savas Labs coming all the way from Durham, NC!
Note: We're meeting at WeWork University Park this month
Topic
In the best-case scenario, an open source project is comprised of a virtuous, reciprocal community in which participants donate their time to improve a tool that is freely available to all people. The anti-tragedy of the commons, a utopian sharing economy, if you will. This representation of open source projects jibes well with those who favor a decentralized and democratic organization methodology, but does it sync with how open source works in the wild? Or is there more we should consider when we're thinking about contributing to open source?
Read moreAustin global contribution weekend Jan 26-27, 2019
Hi folks,
is anyone interested in spending a half or whole day over the global contribution weekend doing something to contribute to Drupal?
I didn't see anything planned for our part of the world and thought it might be fun to have something happen in Austin.

Read moreDrupal Training Day in Bryan/College Station
I am planning a whole day of mentor-guided, self-led Drupal training in Bryan/College Station. I don't have any details yet-- was just interested in it and came across https://buildamodule.com/train as a super guide that looks really approachable. My Drupal 8 is currently very limited to just a few personal, one-off projects, but I am ramping up and want to share what I've got and learn more.
I am looking for organizers, mentors, old friends I haven't seen in a while :), and of course attendees!
Thoughts?

April meetup: Get With Git - A Little About Version Control
Presentation by Charles Leverington, Senior Developer / Analyst - Drupal, University of Texas at Austin, Moody College of Communications - Technology Services.
New and long-term Drupalers are told from day one that "Drupal uses Git for our Version Control".
What is Version Control?
Where does Drupal use Git?
Have I already used Git and not known it?
All the 'Gurus' do everything in the Command Prompt. Can I skip that part?
