Few talks for future meetups

Here are few topics/talks that I can provide for the Santa Cruz meetup:

1. Title: Drupalnator Themestation: Understanding Drupal 8's New Theming Layers
   • Description: In this talk we are going to be discussing the major differences between Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 theming layers. In addition, participants are going to learn file organization of a theme in Drupal 8. Basics twig syntax, which will include output variables in twig and how to use filters, will also be discussed. Although we will be demonstrating this with the base themes (Classy, Stable), users will be able to apply what they learn to other themes, and maybe even be able to make themes of their own! Participants are going to learn how to use Drupal Console to their advantage to build their theme. At the end of the session, participants will be able to understand, configure, and deploy a variety of themes using the updated Drupal 8 CMS.
   • Estimate time: 30 - 45 mins
   • Demo: I could provide a demo for like 20 mins.
   • I have done this talk at SandCamp, FLDrupalCamp, Stanford DrupalCamp.

3. Title: Leveling Up Your Drupal Street Cred
   • Description: In this talk we are going to be discussing how we can contributing to Drupal. Contributing to Drupal is hard. It’s very difficult for new people to understand how they can contribute to Drupal. For developers, we will be talking about the benefits of open source either as an independent freelancer or to an enterprise level company. In addition, we will be discussing the process of adding a new project (modules/themes) to Drupal.org. We will explain the process of submitting/review patches for Drupal.org. And how to start an open discussion about adding new features to Drupal Core. For non-developer, we will be covering ways to contribute to Drupal without writing any code.

   • I proposed this talk at DrupalCon New Orleans and did not got accepted =(. I will be submitting to other camps this year.
