How To

I'd like to discuss the possibility of improving the documentation for contrib projects.  Not every project will need this and for many the README is all that is needed, but some use the Wiki.  Wikis are alright but they are not searchable, either internally or from Google.

I've been experimenting with VitePress (used for Lando documentation) as a Github Action to publish into pages.  At present, GitHub Pages are disabled in backdrop-contrib but perhaps this could change?

I did a presentation a few months back in Asheville about a security incident that I experienced.  Let's not rehash the entire talk but expand it to discuss strategies and tools to keep passwords and secrets secure.

A demo of what's new in Bee and what might be on the horizon.

I'll be covering the basics of custom entity creation in 4 progressively complex examples. Examples are available here:

More details will be added, but I'd like to talk about how we can optimise our contrib repos to help point to Backdrop from as many directions as possible.

How to find your Description, Website and Topics 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.  

I've recently started moving sites off Pantheon and onto Amezmo. I'd love to share my experiences with Backdrop sites. 

• How to set up a Backdrop Site on Amezmo
• How to handle configuration files
• Similarities and differences beween Pantheon and Amezmo

Join us for a lively discussion on what should (or should not) be included in Backdrop 2.x.

The lifespan of Backdrop 1.x has been extended several times as the lifespan of Drupal 7 has been extended. Initially, our goal was for Backdrop 2.x to be released at least 2 years after the end of Drupal 7 support. Our hope was to give Drupal 7 site owners they time they need to both move to Backdrop, and prepare for the first Backdrop major version upgrade.
