All you need for this session is a desire to learn! Lurkers can just listen in and follow along. Participants need a computer with access to a terminal program.
We'll work together and share our experiences as we learn something new and exciting!
Do you need server access to create a static copy of a site with WGET or could someone create a Demo site on BackdropCMS.org and then create a static version of it with WGET?
I'm really looking forward to learning more about how to use OBS with Zoom. Steve (DrAlbany) has done some impression things during Zoom meetings and at the last Backdrop LIVE.
Hopefully, we'll get to see the bunnies again.
I've been using OBS studio to create my Simplo screencasts. What I've learned is that OBS is not a good tool for editing video, I'm using KdenLive for that (as a Linux user). I'd be interested in feedback or alternatives to the process I'm using of combining OBS and KdenLive.
I WILL at least mention it. Hopefully, I can demo both at the same time. But, first I'll have to try "Client Side Date Field Formatter". ;-) It's on my list of things to do.
I am very interested in this topic. We are working on two platforms, devPanel and Pantheon, and I see some variations in how to handle migrations based on tools that are available.
I think I'll plan on demonstrating the User Time Zone Tokens module.
That's great, maybe someone could also mention Client Side Date Field Formatter, which achieves something similar (even better IMO) without additional dependencies or extra libraries. ;-)
For me that slot is at 5 in the morning, so I won't attend.
It's actually intended to be about moving in the opposite direction. I want people to be comfortable experimenting with Backdrop without having to be worried about being locked in, so I want to make sure they know there's a way out if they need it.
I'd like to have the same thing for Wordpress! But it's easier to figure out the conversion to Drupal, since we can piggyback on the extensive work done on D7-D8 migrations.
Irina has the right vision; I'll update the project description now. The session is intended to explore the options for migrating a complete Backdrop site TO Drupal 8/9. The goal is to give newcomers to Backdrop confidence that they have an exit path if they decide they want to leave, so that they feel more comfortable trying Backdrop in the first place.
I thought that this session is about an option to move from Backdrop to Drupal 9/10 in the future using same tools that are used for D7 to Drupal 9/10. That is something that we offered to our customer. If they know that they can go back to brand name (Drupal) from the new system (Backdrop) if things do not work for them for any reason made decision to try new system less stressful.
I tested standard Drupal 9 upgrade flow from page /upgrade/credentials with backdrop db credentials and got the following response. It would be great if this db would be recognized by D9.
If anyone is interested, here is a screencast I made about layouts in Backdrop CMS for beginners.

Never thought about Wordpress to Backdrop. I guess it wouldn't be much different than Wordpress to Drupal 7?
Interested

Excellent. I look forward to learning more about the Tour module.
I think I'll plan on demonstrating the User Time Zone Tokens module. We are using it here on the Backdrop LIVE site.

I'd like to demo the Tour module concept, which is newly developed by me and still unreleased.

Here is a forum topic on this subject, which might be helpful to get the discussion started.
