Boston Drupal Meetup - August 2016
Details
Join the Boston Drupal Group on July 5th 2016 for a night of Drupal focused conversations, presentations and talks.
Call for Lightning Talks
This month we are again putting out a call for lightning talks. Volunteers get between 5 to 10 minutes to present a talk. We are looking for talks on the following topics:
Get off the Island: Integrating Drupal with other Technologies
There is a lot that Drupal can accomplish out of the box. But that does not mean it is a one size fits all tool, there are times when a different system, technology or services is more equipped to deliver functionality. Thanks to the flexibility Drupal has as a platform, it can connect and integrate a wide variety of other tools and technologies, instead of having to reinvent the wheel. This month we want to walk the bridge off the Drupal island and hear about how you use other technologies, frameworks and libraries along side Drupal. Some questions we'd like to see answer:
• What is an example of a time you've incorporated 3rd party tools into Drupal?
• What other libraries have you added to Drupal to extend its capabilities?
• What difficulties have you run into when incorporating another framework with Drupal?
• How do you decide if you should use Drupal or another system for a project?
• What advantages does Drupal 8 provide with integrating with other services?
• Drupal as an API? how have you utilized that?
• Decoupled front-end frameworks and Drupal, how does someone get started?
• What is another framework besides Drupal that you like to use? What are the differences?
If you have an idea for a lightning talk on this topic, sign up by leaving a comment on our posting at groups.drupal.org/boston (https://groups.drupal.org/node/512665). Your talk may inspire others!
General Lightning Talks
Along with our themed presentations we will have a call for general lightning talks. This is an open floor to ask questions, present recent work or lead other Drupal discussions. No preparation is required.
Drupal Games
Based on the popularity last month, through out the night we will again be playing some Drupal themed games to inspire and prompt conversations.
