Meeting of the Drupal User Group Bodensee on 17.6.2024

On June 17, 2024, a meeting of the Drupal User Group Bodensee took place in Constance at Tojio. Topics included the Starshot initiative as well as SDC and Web Components in productive use.

Hot topic: Drupal Starshot!

It was high time for a meeting of the user group, because a lot has happened in the Drupal world - on a small scale (among the participating Drupalistas) as well as on a large scale: Drupal Starshot is currently the dominant topic in the community. The default download of Drupal is supposed to be a completely revised version of Drupal that is already much more user-friendly out-of-the-box and preconfigured with practical features.

Hot topic: Drupal Starshot!

Starshot will bring a wealth of innovations; for us as an agency, the most exciting are the Experience Builder and the Recipes - both initiatives will make it possible to get to the customized production version of a web project much faster than before.

Et cetera ...

Other than that, our open round table format always leaves room for efficient and fast knowledge exchange to coordinate all the small everyday questions and get valuable input for new ideas, e.g.

  • how to create SSL certificates in L3D (also absolutely necessary locally in order to implement PWAs)?
  • What is the best tool to use to create documentation like https://ecaguide.org/ (spoiler: MkDocs)?
  • how to use Web Components / Custom Elements in a Drupal Theme?
  • ... and much more...

The scheduling for the next meeting in October, directly after DrupalCon Barcelona, is already underway. We are already looking forward to it!
