Boston Drupal Meet Up
Took advantage of our volunteer babysitter and finally ventured out to the Boston Drupal MeetUp since before I got pregnant.
Enjoyed working with Dani, whayes and ronaldmulero on Drupal 8 help documentation. We even submitted an issue. The plan is to continue working on help documentation until the Colorado DrupalCon.
BioRaft is hosting dinner. Sounds like a fast growing company supplying research applications and financial tracking to academia using Drupal. They're currently hiring!
Tim Hilliard gave a lightening talk on Drush Debug Tools. Updating Cron via "drush dt-cron" to see how long each segment takes. On an aside, I am happy for someone asking how to look up specific drush commands. I don't think developers realise that 'some' of us don't have that programmer backing and so using
drush | grep pm
to look up project management related commands would not be something that is obvious. So here!here! and a Thank you! to the gent who asked the question.
Kay spoke on getting someone to use Drupal and gave a spiel for Acquia U. Courses are set to start in January and then again in June.
Other ways to get started on using Drupal are to look up the following... (for videos, seminars, webinars)
On discussion thanks to Jason of http://math.correctclass.com was how to have a view on a page feed to another view on the same page. Suggestions included using views attach module, using blocks, quick tabs... and talking later to Daniella (another Drupalista) @ the Muddy Charles who suggested using Page Manager in conjunction with Panels and Views.
Finally, looking forward to hearing about the DrupalCamp West Mass happening January 21st (or in the case of bad weather, January 28th) in Amhearst, MA.
