Seattle Drupal User Group Meeting

This month's meeting will feature a guest who will present about "The Future of Drupal Theming." The presenter will be Mathieu Spillebeen (MathieuSpil on Drupal.org), a freelance Drupal frontend developer from Belgium and one of the organizers of the Frontend United conference.

More info from Mathieu:

What if you don't need to decouple, to have some fun?
What if you actually use the libraries API in Drupal?
What if you could make your CSS and JS over 90% more lean, with just a slice of opinion?
What if you didn't had to struggle with your next Gulp setup?
What if the theming layer is actually in your way?
What if someone is going to tell you about a cutting-edge native frontend alternative?

This talk is around the potential of splitting up the theming layer of Drupal. I took a break from paid work for more than a year to evolve the theming layer of Drupal. The outcome of my work resulted in a future for Drupal where cutting edge frontend standards will become the norm (and stay the norm). Not only do I revolutionise the idea of what we consider the theming layer to be, I will share an open-source tool set and platform to grow Drupal’s frontend community.
