Held in Boston (note special December host location!)
The December 2015 meetup will be hosted at Genuine, located at 500 Harrison Ave. 5R, Boston, MA 02118.
Meet and Greet
The first half hour of the meetup will be a Meet and Greet. Allowing time for the group to arrive, have some pizza and socialize.
Themed Lightning Talks
This month we will again be featuring themed lightning talks. The themes for this month were selected by the group. Volunteers will get up to 5 - 10 minutes to present their lightning talk on one of the following themes.
"My Favorite Module" (suggested by gbirch)
Pick a module that you use a lot (or even one you've built) and talk about why it's cool and how it's used.
"Tips & Tricks for module development in Drupal 8" (suggested by kevinquillen)
Present a framework, tool, technique or other tips & tricks you have learned about developing modules for Drupal 8.
"Drupal 8 vs. other modern CMS's: Pros and Cons" (suggested by nubay admin)
Do the changes introduced by Drupal 8 help or hurt Drupal as a CMS? What are pros and cons of using Drupal 8 versus other modern CMS's such as Wordpress, Sitecore or Adobe CQ5.
If you have an idea for a lightning talk for one of these themes, sign up by leaving a comment below.
