I recently began trying to learn more about Solr search.  I found old instructions on getting Solr to work with Drupal 8 locally using Lando.  After getting that working I wanted to see if I could do the same thing with Backdrop.  It turns out that it isn't that different.  Come learn how to setup Solr search to begin experimenting and learning more.

A practical workflow/method to make Upgrading Multiple Sites easy and reliable.

I will have some slides to show my Workflow, then open it up for comments.

I am particularly interested to hear your methods.

I'll screenshare a short demo of a project that I'm currently working on, including a peek at the back end showing how I've put things together and what the administrative experience is like for the site admins. The site makes much use of Paragraphs and the new modal administration capabilities in that module.

Given interest in Backdrop and CiviCRM (based on CiviCRM usage stats of recent months) I thought it might be worth opening a room up for conversation on that topic. I don't plan to have a big presentation but I do still have the demo site that I built for the session I did at Backdrop Live in September 2020, so I'll dust that off. The video below was recorded during that session so we don't have to redo it completely but folks can bring questions and things to share about things that were covered in that session or about the topic in general.

I work for a non-profit and we have quite a lot of websites.  I get to work with Drupal 9, Drupal 7, Backdrop, and WordPress.  We have a WordPress multisite.  Recently a discussion began about improving one of the WordPress blogs.  I wanted to see if it would work in Backdrop.
