In short, config recipes are simple modules that add functionality to your site mostly by adding some prepared configuration. They do not add new features that are not already available through Backdrop Core or existing contrib modules.

This session is intended for the absolute Backdrop beginner. We'll introduce you to one of the fundamental building blocks of Backdrop CMS, custom content types and fields.
Generative AI like Chat GPT and GitHub Copilot are important innovations. Let's talk about how we are using them and discuss ideas for Backdrop modules.
CKEditor 4 is reaching its end of support November 2023. The Backdrop community has been working towards transitioning to CKEditor 5. Come see the current state of the new module, how to test it, and what work remains to be done. We expect this module will be included in Backdrop 1.27.0.
Now that Backdrop Live IX is almost in the books, let's take a moment to consider things that could be done differently.

The Rules module is a module that allows site architects to create action/reaction events that would normally require writing custom code. Some of the things you can do with the rules module include:
1) Sending an email to a site editor anytime someone creates a new article or comment.
2) Automatically assigning a special role to anyone who creates a new account.
3) Automatically unpublish content after a certain time frame.
4) Automatically assign a node to someone other than the author.
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.
My colleague Philip Stier has been working on a series of webinars about image optimizations in Drupal, and I thought it would be nice to do a quick overview of some of the parallel ways to optimize images in Backdrop. Some of the techniques are identical, and I'll mention a few others as well.
Maintaining optimized images is important for your site's accessibility and usability on different screen sizes and devices.
Over the last few months I decided to start building some of the decoupled blocks that I've been hearing about at Drupal events. After getting the Drupal version working I wondered about how I would put the same block into a Backdrop site. So I changed the module to be a Backdrop module instead of a Drupal module.
After that project I had a Backdrop site that had information I wanted to share inside a Drupal site. I reversed the process, making a decoupled Backdrop block first and then changing the module to be a Drupal module.
