Speaker Diversity Workshop

This workshop helps speakers from underrepresented groups prepare to speak at conferences.  This will in turn help local meetups, Drupal Camps, and even DrupalCons develop a more diverse speaker roster. The workshop helps folks bust through their impostor syndrome and develop a topic, title, pitch, bio, and outline.

Hosting Drupal on Kubernetes

Large scale Drupal sites have been difficult to deploy, due to the complexities of integrating multiple pieces of infrastructure. Many have resorted to using hosting companies that provide an out-of-the-box solution. However, this locks you in to one vendor. Kubernetes allows you to break that lock and host your entire site, at global scale, on pure open source software. This training will introduce you to Kubernetes, a container orchestrator, including how to deploy new object definitions, infrastructure, and security certificates.

Component Based Development

With the component-based approach becoming the standard for Drupal 8 development we’re beginning to see some slick front-end environments show up in Drupal themes. The promise that talented front-enders with little Drupal knowledge can jump right in is now a reality and we at Mediacurrent are experiencing this firsthand already. In this training, we will put into practice one of the latest trends in development: components. Building a website using a component-based approach can help make code more reusable, dramatically improve collaboration among teams, while improving flexibility and long-term maintenance of your project. We will work on building a living style guide which will become the single source of truth for markup, styles, and javascript behaviors.
