How To

In this session we're going to try a live upgrade of a Drupal 7 to both Drupal 10 and Backdrop CMS. 

Join this conversation about the future of Paragraphs for Backdrop. This session will include a short demo of the current state of functionality in the Paragraphs module, as well as a sneak-peak at some functionality that is in development but hasn't been shared publicly yet. Following that, a time of conversation will help provide questions, input, feedback and hopes about what is to come.

What is the best way for us to collaborate on larger Contrib projects?
 

• Is GitHub adequate
• Use the GitHub Discussions feature
• Use a Project management system
• Use the same system as the Devs for Core
• Something else

Leaving a large contributed module to one or two developers has many pitfalls, so I would like to facilitate a discussion on how best to collaborate when larger projects become popular... one module that springs to mind is Ubercart with 124 active installs.
 

A discussion on measures available in core, contrib and in hosting to secure Backdrop websites.

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.

Sesión acerca de las características básicas e intermedias de Backdrop, incluyendo la migración (upgrade) de Drupal 7 a Backdrop. Temas adicionales: cómo crear una comunidad en español de Backdrop, y apoyar a desarrolladores y usuarios de habla española

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.
