What It's Like

The format of this meetup is very casual (and round-table), so bring whatever Drupal-related projects you are currently working through, and (if you'd like) some food or beverage to share.

Anyone can join the project and study group at any time!

Agenda

As usual, we'll break the meetup up into two parts:

FIRST HOUR
We will discuss challenges that we are facing in our real projects, and help each other find solutions. Bring whatever (Drupal-related) questions or challenges you have! This covers a broad range from theming issues, wireframing/UI challenges, difficulty getting a migration script to work, whatever you have. If it relates to Drupal in any way, bring it up! We're here to help each other.

SECOND HOUR
We are working together to build a Drupal 8 site, giving us the opportunity to learn from each other's working styles and test the boundaries of Drupal 8 without the restrictions of working on a client site. The project is going to focus on the challenges of a media-centric responsive site. It will morph as we come up with ideas.

When work together on the site, we use a format called mob programming. The idea is that we all work together at the same time, on the same task, using the same computer, rotating in who's "driving" and "navigating" every 10 minutes or so. Check out the manifesto of the group from which btmash got this idea if you'd like a sneak preview. This way we can all see what working on Drupal 8 is like together, and perhaps better use our combined mental faculties.

Resources

We have a github organization for the project: pizzandrupal. If you're coming to the meetup and aren't connected as a collaborator, please let Joe Chellman know ahead of time. He can set you in person as well, of course.
