Breakout Room 1

There is work happening on the Content Moderation module and Workflow modules.

This session will talk about what these modules do, about progress being made, and about other related modules.

Can and should Backdrop CMS compete with Wordpress, Squarespace, and/or WIX as a tool for individuals with limited (or without any) coding skills, to build their own website?

Not everyone will agree that this is possible or even something worth trying for. But, if you would like to see Backdrop CMS moving in that direction, this session is intended as a discussion about what we can do to move in that direction. Most likely, we’ll focus on contrib ideas, but we may also discuss ideas for Backdrop CMS core.

One of the things that we’ve worked hard to create in Backdrop CMS is an improved Editor experience. As a fork of Drupal 7, we inherited the power and flexibility of custom content types, fields, and views from Drupal. But, we also inherited some confusing user interfaces that sometimes frustrate and discourage site editors. While Backdrop CMS has implemented a number of changes that we think improve the editor experience, there is still a great deal of room for improvement.

Without any special action, the Backdrop CMS user interface is presented in English. But of course the system can also be operated in other languages, e.g. Arabic, French, Hebrew, Persian, Spanish, Swedish, and many more.

In this session let's talk about,

• how to equip a Backdrop website's user interface with multiple languages,
• which tools can be used to translate the user interface individually,
• how to help improve translations for the community on the Backdrop translation server.

What do you use to protect the privacy of visitors to your site(s) and your client sites?

How to balance privacy requirement with functionality?

How can we make the measures we implement to support privacy as user friendly as possible?

This meeting is a good opportunity for German-speaking Backdrop CMS users to exchange ideas and get to know the editorial team at https://backdrop-cms.de. We look forward to seeing new and familiar faces!

Dieses Meeting ist eine gute Gelegenheit, sich unter deutschsprachigen Nutzer:innen von Backdrop CMS auszutauschen und das Redaktionsteam von https://backdrop-cms.de kennenzulernen. Wir freuen uns auf neue und bekannte Gesichter!

What has changed since the last Backdrop LIVE?

I had "Vibe Coding" in the title, but removed it, because it doesn't help much. 

Wikipedia says: "Vibe coding is an AI-dependent computer programming practice where a programmer describes a problem in a few sentences as a prompt to a large language model (LLM) tuned for coding. The LLM generates software, freeing the programmer from having to write and debug the underlying code. Vibe coding is claimed by its advocates to allow even amateur programmers to produce software without the extensive training and skills which coding previously needed."

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 architects should know about or a more popular module that you love to use.

We have five slots during this session:
