Breakout Room 1

Testing is an important part of the development process for Backdrop. Every new feature added to core needs to have a test to make sure that it does not get accidentally broken by changes in the future.

In this session, I will be going over the basics of how Backdrop's testing framework, Simpletest, operates and how to make a basic test for your own code. After that, we can go over any questions you may have or discuss problems people have run into in the past.

Let's talk about the trials and tribulations of running a freelance business building websites with Open Source CMS's.

Possible discussion points could include pricing methods, personal development, and specialisation vs generalisation; though it is up to you.

For the last 12-18 months, some of us in the core issue queue have been debating the best way to make changes/improvements to the Basis theme without breaking existing sites. There are several ideas out there, but we have yet to reach consensus on any of them. 

One idea that is being currently discussed would be to add a new theme to core. 

In this session, we'll have an open discussion about the future of Basis for Backdrop and whether or not it's time to add a new theme to Backdrop Core. 

Due to a recent change in Backdrop, it has become much easier to create config only modules that can be used as recipes to add functionality to Backdrop CMS. The two existing config recipes available in the contrib space are:

• FAQ Recipe
• Testimonial Recipe

In this session we'll:

Die perfekte Gelegenheit, die Menschen hinter dem CMS und vor allem auch hinter backdrop-cms.de kennenzulernen, sich mit Gleichgesinnten auszutauschen und das Wissen über Backdrop zu erweitern. Einfach mal reinschauen und Hallo sagen!

This presentation is geared towards people new to Backdrop CMS who do not have a great deal of experience with building websites.

At Triplo, we've been getting more and more specific Google Analytics requests and we're trying to increase our level of expertise. We're happy to share the limited knowledge we have, but are hoping that others will bring their own experiences and lessons learned to share with us. 

Some of the questions we'd like to see addressed:

We are looking for 4-8 folks to give a 5 minute demonstrations of their favorite Backdrop module OR a module that they think is underappreciated. We'll get through as many modules as we can in our allocated time. 

You don't need a prepared presentation. Feel free to improvise. But, only 5 minutes per module. We'll save time at the end for discussion and questions.

Modules that we have scheduled so far:

In our three previous iterations of Backdrop LIVE core committer, Nate Lampton, walked through recent additions to Backdrop Core and talked about some of the new features in the pipeline. 

This was also a chance for anyone else to ask questions or suggest feature that they would like to see prioritized. 

Let's do it again.
