This will be an open session like the Office Hours sessions we have on Wednesdays. A few experienced Backdrop users will be on hand to answer questions.
We have themes for each block. The theme for this session is Layouts. We will be talking about anything related to layouts, but any and all questions are appropriate.

We have themes for each block. The theme for this session is content structure. This might includes building custom content types, fields, and maybe views, but any and all questions are appropriate.
The layout system in Backdrop CMS is a powerful system for building custom pages. In this session, we'll walk through the process of creating custom layouts.
Some topics we will include:
The views module is a powerful tool that allows site administrators to create complicated and dynamic displays of their content without writing any code or knowledge of database queries.
If you make your living with Backdrop CMS, come chat with us about:
Please, post comments below with your questions, comments, or ideas about what we should cover in this session.
We have no official facilitators for this session.
Office hours are a place where you can bring your questions to other Backdrop CMS site architects, developers, and designers for discussion and support.
In this session, let's focus on the basics of getting started with Backdrop CMS. This might include questions about content types and fields, but might also include any other questions you have about getting started with Backdrop CMS.
If you have questions about any of the following, this would be a good time to ask:
We are looking for 5 people to give a short demo of a module or theme. Either a module they maintain or just one they like to use. Could be an obscure module that site architechts should know about or a more popular module that you love to use.
We have five slots during this session:
Welcome to Backdrop LIVE.
We will ask (but don't require) that everyone introduce themselves and tell us a little about their experience with or interest in Backdrop CMS. Other agenda items for this opening session:
This discussion gave us a general idea of what we'd like to do with 2.x. The decisions reached are in no way final. Many of these things will need to be voted on and approved by the PMC, but more importantly, we'd like to hear feedback from the larger Backdrop community at the Backdrop LIVE event in April of 2024.
Please keep in mind that our goal is to make the upgrade process from Backdrop 1.x to Backdrop 2.x as seamless as possible.
We'll explore the situation PSU was in with multiple Drupal 7 sites, the decision and process of moving to Backdrop, and some of the efficiencies we found along the way to move these sites.
