Conscious Uncoupling with Drupal 8

Or in other words, May's topic will be "Decoupled Drupal."

I'm stoked to have Kevin Thompson, the VP of Technology from Mirum Agency sharing his experiences building decoupled Drupal solutions for their clients.

Kevin will be talking about a marketing data visualization tool as well as a new global website that Mirum launched. Both projects use Vue.js and the data services provided "out of the box" by Drupal, using REST data services for views.

Also, save the date for May 17, for a Drupal event hosted by Mirum & Acquia coming up. Kevin will share more details at the meeting.

Join us Wednesday night, May 10, 2017 for the San Diego Drupal User's Group meeting! It will be an entire night of Drupal goodies. All developers and designers, project managers, account managers, content strategists, writers, and web workers are welcome. Come see short presentations focused on the Drupal platform, including community talks designed to help you get ready for adopting, building, or updating sites on Drupal. There is usually material for all levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced users.

Every month experts guide our local community showcasing professional Drupal techniques, industry standards, and best practices. San Diego Drupal brings a tremendous lineup of topics and presentations centered around Drupal. We help users answer questions, and resolve issues with solutions surrounding planning, supporting, and developing with Drupal. Our meetups are a good place for Job seekers and employers to find talent. Also, we sometimes have raffle prizes that vary from Drupal books, DVD's, to online training subscriptions!!! Plus we will have pizza!

Parking: Parking is free at the underground parking after 6pm. Make sure you get a parking ticket and get it validated by security when you are leaving
