From YouTube: Backdrop weekly 7/16
Description
Check-in on Backdrop development and infrastructure tasks.
A
Alright,
we
are
on
air,
it
is
Thursday,
July,
16,
happy
backup
day
everyone
as
every
Thursday
general
announcements.
If
you
would
like
a
phpstorm
license,
and
you
don't
have
one
already
send
an
email
to
info
@
backdrop,
CMS
org,
you
need
to
be
a
member
of
the
backdrop
trib
group
in
order
to
get
one.
But
if
you
are
not
yet
a
member,
we
can
help
you
through
that
process
as
well.
Basically,
anyone
who
volunteers
to
port
or
maintain
panchal
seems
really
odd.
Sir
backdrop
has
free
license
for
phpstorm
per
year.
A
B
Yeah
sure,
so
let
me
get
the
agenda
talk
up.
I
was
just
looking
at
some
of
the
new
modules
that
came
into
the
repository.
We
had
five
new
modules
since
our
last
meeting,
which
was
two
weeks
ago,
there's
some
real
interesting
ones
in
there.
Sms
framework
actually
looks
like
that
was
maybe
a
little.
Over
two
weeks
ago,
SMF
I'm
work
blockupy
a
contest,
module
which
looks
kind
of
cool
and
Graham's
work
on
a
simplified
version
of
date,
module
lots
of
great
stuff
happening
in
the
backdrop,
control
and
numbers
wise.
B
We
have
38
total
authors
for
backdrop,
contributed
modules
and
those
38
authors
have
written
a
total
of
136
total
projects
for
backdrop
CMS,
including
the
five
new
ones.
Since
our
last
meeting
and
53
total
products
have
official
releases
and
therefore
are
synced
with
backdrop
CMS
org,
so
lots
of
still
great
excitement
seems
like
pace
continues
to
continue
along
on
a
steady
clip
just
really
exciting.
B
To
see
all
of
these
projects
not
only
come
into
backdrop,
but
also
I
mean
we
don't
track
the
maturity
of
these
projects,
but
a
lot
of
projects
we've
been
seeing
a
lot
of
increased
maturity
and
increased
stability
is
so
it's
great
to
see
that
work
happening
continuously.
Also,
let's
see
so
that's
all
I've
got
for
community
growth,
I'll
just
roll
right
into
infrastructure
tasks,
since
I
usually
cover
that
soon
as
well.
B
Let's
see
update
status,
checking
we
talked
about
this
every
week,
but
it's
still
kind
of
the
same
as
where
it
has
been,
which
is
update,
status
checking
is
working.
If
you
tag
your
project
as
a
1,
1,
dot,
x
y,
so
server
or
API
version
is
backed
up
one
and
then
I
do
a
normal
semantic
versioning
afterwards,
then
that
will
get
your
project
synced.
With
backdrop,
CMS,
org
and
update
status.
Checking
will
work
for
your
trip
modules.
B
We
still
have
an
it
much
further
than
that.
Oh
things
like
you
know
actually
publicly
displaying
how
many
installations
of
modules
are
out
there
and
charts
of
like
usage.
Statistics
are
all
still
on
our
to-do
plate
as
well
as
things
like.
Building
out
some
more
granular
reporting
like
determining
which
modules
with
it
or
turned
on,
and
perhaps
even
a
certain
configuration
options
within
core
which
ones
of
those
who
turned
like
we
plan
on
doing
some
more
of
those
things.
B
So
we
can
get
more
granular
reporting,
so
we
can
figure
out
which
features
are
valuable
and
backdrop
in
which
ones
people
never
use
and
also
just
figuring
out
things
like.
You
know
how
many
sites
out
there
mean
you're
else
like
thanks,
like
that,
would
be
really
useful
for
us
to
figure
out
project
browser
we're
not
going
to
skip
over
it
this
week
or
hired
on
making
its
you
can
install
or
not
not
installed,
but
actually
find
themes
and
modules
and
layouts
from
within
the
user
interface
of
your
backdrop
site.
B
We're
still
hung
up
on
that
issue
on
on
some
server
side,
work
which
I
had
tried
to
outsource,
but
it
looks
like
up
sources
and
delegate
to
someone,
but
I
think
that
we
might
need
to
take
another
look
at
that
and
just
do
a
little
bit
of
server-side
tweaking
ourselves
and
and
get
that
up,
because
the
code
side
of
it
is
pretty
well
all
in
place.
A
B
Okay,
great
but
anyway,
it
looks
like
since
the
last
meeting,
which
is
two
weeks
ago,
Jeff
there
and
deputy
has
done
a
little
bit
more
work
there
and
hung
up
on
a
bit
of
a
technical
question,
but
things
still
rolling
along
I'm
still
feeling
really
good
about
dressed
for
backdrop.
It's
just
a
matter
of
putting
it
some
time
to
get
that
moving
forward.
A
A
We
worked
out
a
plan
for
how
to
hand
off
work
on
that,
and
we
decided
to
put
a
hold
on
the
the
outs
to
find
a
layout
page
layout,
snowed
page,
because
we
can
use
the
designs
we
already
have
for
the
find
modules
and
module
node
page
for
now,
and
that
will
at
least
enable
us
to
get
everything
done
and
out,
and
we
can
see
how
that
works
and
then
iterate
on
it
later.
So
that
should
be
near
in
the
near
future,
which
is
good
because
we
have
modules
and
things
in
last.
A
People
need
to
be
able
to
find,
and
it
was
great
to
have
them
I
created
on
our
own
site
instead
of
cab,
and
then
we
have
other
stuff
coming
in
the
future.
Next,
on,
my
hit
list
is
a
showcase
site,
because
people
keep
asking
what
site
did
built
with
backdrop
and
I
have
to
say:
I
don't
know
yet
it
would
be
great
to
give
people
a
way
that
they
can
post
the
work
that
they're
doing
I'm
stiffening
you're
working
outside,
so
you
want
to
put
them
up.
A
I
want
to
be
able
to
have
people
post
information
about
your
websites
and
posts
links
to
your
website,
so
the
websites
get
like
a
little
SEO
bump
in
exchange
for
being
listed
on
there.
I
know
that's
something
that
makes
my
clients
really
happy.
So
hopefully
everyone
will
say
I'll
put
my
site
on
that
site
and
then
we'll
find
out
who's
actually
doing
what
would
back
job,
which
will
be
really
interesting
and
then,
of
course,
we
want
to
build
the
same
amazing
tools
that
Drupal
has
for
its
community.
A
1.1
is
out.
We
have
another
I
guess
our
next
upcoming
patch
release
is
going
to
be
one
point.
One
point
three
and
we've
got
one
cross
port
with
a
pull
request
from
Drupal
7,
which
looks
like
hasn't
been
merged
yet,
but
it
is
ready
which
is
good.
Just
do
a
review
of
that
and
we
also
have
a
bunch
of
there's
a
meta
issue
on
making
backdrop
more
responsive
with
corsets,
responsive
out
of
the
box
doesn't
mean
everything
always
works
perfectly.
So
we
have
that
issue
of
things.
A
We
need
to
improve
in
terms
of
responsiveness
else
like
we're
getting
a
bunch
of
activity
on
that
which
is
also
fantastic
and,
as
we
discover
more
bugs
and
it
needs
to
get
fix.
We
will
merge
those
into
so
if
anyone
has
any
bugs
you
found
and
fixed
that's
great.
Those
will
get
in
and
we'll
weigh
the
urgency
of
those
is
to
figure
out
whether
we
need
to
cut
a
new
release
sooner
or
later.
A
A
That
will
include
a
built-in
rich
text
editor
and
a
couple
of
fields,
modules,
so
link
field,
the
email
field
and
date
field
or
on
our
hit
list
for
those
I,
don't
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
progress
on
the
rich
text
editor
in
the
last
two
weeks,
but
I
know
that
we
had
a
ton
of
progress
before
that
and
it
looks
like
those
are
going
swimmingly
well,
which
is
fantastic.
A
It
does
look
like
there's
been
a
bunch
of
progress
on
the
date
module,
which
is
great
because
that's
what
we're
going
to
end
up
putting
into
core
at
least
some
very
similar
version
of
it.
So
I
don't
know
if
anyone's,
maybe
better
qualified,
to
give
an
update
on
this
than
I
am,
but
it
looks
like
we've
got
a
basic
date
module,
which
is
what
we're
looking
at.
A
It's
a
pared-down
version
of
the
complete
date,
module
they're
removed,
state,
repeat,
Davey
field
date
all
day
and
date
migrate,
and
those
things
will
probably
remain
in
some
date
equivalent
module
in
contributors.
They
can
still
get
them,
but
they
won't
be
coming
from
clark
and
then
it
looks
like
we
also
have
linked
field,
there's
already
a
pole
for
requests
and
Q,
which
is
fantastic
for
that.
I
haven't
looked
at
whether
that
is
in
yet
or
not,
but
it
looks
pretty
much
ready.
A
So
that
is
also
amazing,
and
then
we
also
have
email
field
module
going
along.
In
the
same
thing,
we
also
a
future
version,
looks
really
great,
so
hopefully
we'll
just
be
able
to
squeeze
that
in
as
well.
I
think
we're
looking
great
eight
for
being
on
track
to
get
all
of
those
things
into
one
point
to
release
in
September
cuz.
A
A
Always
working
on
improving
and
we
can
definitely
focus
on
doing
more
of
this
in
1.2,
also
which
is
improving
these
or
experience
so
making
sure
that
user
interfaces
are
intuitive
and
straightforward
and
also
improving,
developer
experience.
So
as
people
are
starting
to
build
their
own
websites,
the
backdrop
will
get
more
and
more
instances
of
people
trying
things
seeing.
Maybe
the
code
seems
a
little
funny
in
one
place
and
opening
an
issue
saying:
could
I
have
a
helper
function
or
we
need
a
wrapper
function?
A
Or
you
know
this
is
weird
and
we
can
kind
of
evaluate
why
things
feel
weird
for
people
to
be
coding
in
backdrop
and
see
if
we
can
make
that
process
easy
easier,
either
with
accountability,
layers,
rapper
functions
or
rewrites,
and
if
the
rewrite
is
going
to
change
an
API,
that's
obviously
going
to
be
pushed
until
backdrop
to
but
a
lot
of
things
we
can
improve
still
and
backdrop
one
so,
hopefully,
as
you
guys,
are
working
on
sites
you're
taking
notes
of
where
things
are
easy
and
where
they're
not
I
am
super
excited
to
be
working
on.
A
My
first
paid
back
drop
site
now
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
kind
of
getting
into
all
of
the
weird
stuff
that
comes
up
when
you
have
client
requests
and
you
hadn't
envisioned
things
happening
until
you
have
the
requests
and
then
you
have
to
solve
a
problem
and
see
how
that
works
in
the
in
a
backdrop
world
so
very
soon,
I'll
be
in
there
complaining
about
backdrop
myself,
which
will
be
fantastic.
Oh
alright,
at
every
Thursday.
After
this
mean
we
usually
a
little
sprint
and
IRC,
and
our
IRC
channel
is
pan
backdrop.
A
We
also
have
our
credit
at
reddit.com
/
r
/,
who
are
less
than
two
I
RC
and
warrant
or
edit,
of
course,
there's
other
ways
to
get
in
touch
with
the
backdrop
community.
Everybody
can
tweet
and
use
hashtag
backdrop
CMS
if
you're
on
Twitter
and
there's
a
bunch
of
in-person
meetings
coming
up
soon
too
so,
starting
in
two
weeks,
I
think
we
have
three
backup
friendly
Drupal
events
on
the
same
weekend,
which
is
cool,
you
have
the
Pennsylvania
drupalcamp
and
we
have
a
zip
triple
so
those
two
or
that
weekend.
A
Then
we
also
have
a
triple
keep
LA
and
drupalcamp
custom
good
following
week
it,
and
so
it
might
be
a
crap
and
drupal
filled.
Some
is
fantastic,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
talk
to
people
in
person
backdrop
and
feel
free
to
attend,
any
of
these
events
can
I
think
I'll
feed
on
google,
which
you
find
links
to
see
you
either
on
our
contribute
page
on
back
jersey,
mesto
on
the
reddit
or
on
these
meeting
agendas.
A
If
you
can
never
find
one
of
those
in
Google
Docs
ten
dimes
hard
to
stumble
on,
and
we
also
have
an
ical
meeting
scheduled
for
all
of
these
meetings.
We
have
this
meeting,
which
is
every
thursday
at
1pm.
Just
pretty
easy
to
remember.
We
also
have
a
design
meeting
which
happens
fortnightly
or
once
every
other
week
we
had
one
this
week.
A
We
missed
think
the
last
10
here
now
and
we'll
meet
again
two
weeks
from
today
to
talk
specifically
about
design
related
tests
and
one
update
for
you
guys,
though,
from
that
design
meeting
we
had
today
is
that
we
are
working
on
reveal
jayus,
slides
for
backdrop.
So
Nate
and
I
have
given
the
same
presentation.
I,
don't
know,
maybe
a
hundred
times
now
backdrop
and
we've
been
asked
to
create
a
shareable
version
of
our
slides
that
other
people
can
work
on.
A
Anyone
elses
previous
work,
which
I
think
will
be
kind
of
fun.
So
if
you
want
to
give
a
talk
at
a
backdrop,
event
or
a
backdrop
friendly
dribble
event
in
the
future,
hopefully
this
resource
will
help
anyone
feel
empowered
to
do
so.
A
Alright,
other
things,
we
still
have
a
seven
page
article
in
the
most
recent
version
of
Drupal
watchdog,
although
there
should
be
a
new
version
and
watched
up
coming
out
very
shortly,
I'm
not
sure
what
will
be
in
there
in
terms
of
factor
up
stuff,
but
there's
likely
to
be
some
cool
stuff
in
there.
Even
if
it's
not
backed
up
it'll,
be
cool,
so
I'd
say
check
that
out.
Yeah
I
think
that's
all
I
have
on
my
list,
but
maybe
we
should
see
if
anyone
else
is
anything
they
want
to
add
or
questions.
A
Nothing
no
prob
of
the
recent
talks
thrown
so
I
would
say
the
last
two
or
three
times
we've,
given
the
backdrop
talk
it's
found
really
well
I.
Think
part
of
that
is
just
because
we've
given
it
enough
times
that
we
know
how
to
say
everything
in
a
way
that
seems
to
be
fairly
non
offensive
to
people
which
is
good
and
also
that
we
can
actually
do
a
live
demo
of
the
software.
So
rather
than
just
talking
about
it
in
theory,
it's
here
it
is
today.
This
is
what
it
looks
like.
A
This
is
how
you
use
it,
and
that
seems
to
be
very
impactful
to
people,
especially
people
who
are
suffering
from
the
features
from
home
in
Drupal,
7
and
they're
aching
for
cmi
the
fact
that
they
can
see
it
kind
of
in
action
right
now,
I
think,
is
really
compelling
to
people
were
like.
Oh
I,
really
can't
wait
for
config,
and
it's
like.
B
A
Use
it
in
backdrop,
that's
right
here,
you
can
have
it
right
now.
People
are
like
oh
I
want
it,
which
has
been
super
successful
for
us.
It
also
looks
really
pretty
I
think
the
first
few
times
they
did
demos
of
it
when
it
still
looks
like
drupal
people
were
like
wow,
it
looks
just
like
drupal
and
it
didn't
quite
have
that
same
impact
of
it
being
something
new
and
exciting,
but
now
it
looks
new
and
exciting,
and
that
also
has
gone
really
well
for
people.
A
I
also
think
the
last
few
times
we've
given
the
talk,
we've
gotten
a
bunch
of
really
great
questions
from
the
audience
about.
You
know
what
what
is
it
like
to
you
know?
Can
we
upgraded
Drupal
7
site
to
a
box
website
or
how
layouts
work?
You
know
just
questions
that
really
engage
the
rest
of
the
audience
to
in
terms
of
making
a
little
bit
more
personal,
what
it
would
be
like
for
them,
cheese
factor,
so
I
think
it's
going
really
well.
A
I
think
that
I
don't
know
I
would
encourage
anyone
who
wants
to
give
a
talk
about
backdrop
to
you
know,
put
your
own
spin
on
it.
Definitely,
but
if
we
can
get
those
slides
out
there
for
resources,
you
should
have
a
pretty
good
framework
that
you
can
use
to
model
your
talk
after,
if
you
don't
didn't,
have
a
plan
ahead
of
time
and
you
know
we'll
try
and
get
some
charts
and
graphs
in
there
too,
which
will
also
be
helpful
in
terms
of
no
drew
sure.
Look
like
that.
A
I
also
think
that
we're
pretty
early
in
terms
of
adoption
right
right
now,
I
feel
like
most
people
who
have
websites
are
worried
about
the
future,
but
they're
not
actually
making
any
decisions
which
I
feel
like
is
kind
of
a
great
place
for
us
to
be
in
because
it
gives
us
enough
time
to
help
establish,
contributed
modules
and
community
and
infrastructure
both
before
people
actually
have
to
make.
That
decision.
A
A
B
No
I
don't
think
so.
Talks
went
great.
The
recent
conference
science
on
Drupal,
which
was
just
actually
still
going
on
even
today
and
tomorrow,
but
a
Tuesday,
was
the
Drupal
day.
Talk
was
very,
very
well
received
and
we
may
be
seeing
some
science
community
websites
emerging
on
backdrop
in
the
next
year,
which
is
really
exciting
and
hopefully
secured
an
invitation
for
next
year
as
well.
To
talk
to
all
those
folks.
B
The
science
algebra
conference
is
a
combination
all
of
the
scientific
communities
in
the
United
States,
which
includes
NASA
NSF,
Noah
usg
as
a
whole.
Bunch
of
governmental
agencies
that,
with
environmental
and
earth
sciences-
and
it
was
it-
was
just
fantastic-
really
excited
to
see
well
I'm
excited
to
see
that
they're
excited
cuz.
They
seem
very,
very
interested
in
using
backdrop
in
in
their
websites
because
of
a
lot
of
existing
website.
