Drupal Providence

DrupalPVD Meetup

Our monthly Drupal Providence Meetup is coming up! This year we’re introducing a NEW format featuring a Module of the Month series and Tip of the Month. Join us as we level up at the Drupal PVD Meetup each month beginning at 6 pm, and bring a friend!

The NEW general format goes something like this:

6:30 pm - Module of the Month

Have you mastered a Module and want to demo it for the group? Is there a Module you want to learn more about that we can present? Let us know. Each month we will review/demo a module to kick off the meeting. Stay tuned for this month’s Module!

6:45 pm - Tip of the Month

Each month we will have a helpful tech tip (not necessarily always Drupal) to improve the way you build sites. We would love some group participation so if you have a tip to share, let us know and we’ll give you the floor.

7:00 pm – Feature Presentation

This month, Drupal PVD will feature Jason Pamental from Isovera talking about Pattern Lab in Drupal 8. There are a few ways to get a pattern library in your Drupal theme, and even several options to use Pattern Lab specifically. We’ll take a look at Isovera’s ‘IceCream’ starter theme, and how it’s been put in use on projects, including BostonDynamics.com (and hey, everything is better with robots, right?). This look at design systems, Pattern Lab, and Drupal 8 should give you lots to think about when you start your next D8 project.

7:30 pm (or so) - Networking and Social Time

Networking and one-on-one Q&A are valuable aspects of the meetup. Do you have an issue that’s stumping you? Let us know anytime and we can connect you with someone who can help, or even make it a topic at the next meetup.

Configuration Management: A True Life Story

Managing configuration in Drupal 8 has become much easier with the introduction of configuration management. In this talk, we will review “good practices” Oomph has established for configuration management, what tools we use on all of our Drupal 8 projects and how to use them. We will also discuss how configuration management ties into a Continuous Integration pipeline using Github and Travis-CI.

We will discuss the following list of modules:

- Configuration Manager
- Configuration Split
- Configuration Read-only mode
- Configuration Installer

What you can expect to learn from this talk:

- Automating configuration management in a Continuous Integration pipeline
- How to export and import configuration in Drupal 8
- How to manage configuration in version control
- How to manage configuration for multiple environments
- How to install a new instance of Drupal with a set of existing configuration

This talk is for all skill levels and aims to make everyone’s life easier through the magic of Drupal Configuration Management. We look forward to sharing our experience with you and answering any questions you may have.

Will it break? How long will it last? How will it sound? How do temperatures affect performance? These are the types of product performance questions that designers and engineers answer with the multiphysics simulation software from the SIMULIA brand of Dassault Systèmes.

Lori Bonynge, Director of SIMULIA Innovation Lab will share details about SIMULIA, its expansion to include structural, fluids, and electromagnetics simulation, as well as how customers use 3D simulation to analyze and improve the real-world performance of their products, including wind turbines, airplanes, cars, shoes, cellphones, medical devices and more.

Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA is located in the Northwoods business campus in Johnston Rhode Island. Their 350 Rhode-Island based employees are involved in software development, IT services, customer support, project planning, finance, and marketing. Join us at Providence Geeks to learn about their research and development activities related to their multiphysics simulation, cloud computing, and also experience hands-on 3D immersive virtual reality demos.

The event itself is FREE! Beverages and food are for sale at AS220’s excellent bar and restaurant. Doors open at 5:30pm. Socializing, eating and drinking up until the 15-minute presentation/Q&A around 6:30. Afterwards, back to socializing, eating, drinking. It’s totally casual. Wear whatever, bring whomever, arrive and take off whenever! And don’t worry about eating or not – come famished or full – eating is optional.

Book Club: Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit

For this book club meet up, we will be reading Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18528190-men-explain-things-to-me).

Description:

"In her comic, scathing essay “Men Explain Things to Me,” Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters.

She ends on a serious note— because the ultimate problem is the silencing of women who have something to say, including those saying things like, “He’s trying to kill me!”

This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect complements, including an examination of the writer Virginia Woolf ’s embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt and ambiguity, a highly original inquiry into marriage equality, and a terrifying survey of the scope of contemporary violence against women."

------------------------------------------------------------------

Pick up the book and come by to share your own experiences, ask questions, and discuss the things you learned.
