How to use Mural at Backdrop LIVE
We just published a blog post about our goals for experimenting with a Mural Board for our upcoming Backdrop LIVE. This is a companion post on the mechanics of what Mural is and how to use it.
Backdrop CMS at DrupalCorn (and the OpenShift container platform)
DrupalCorn is an annual Drupal Camp in Iowa. Two years ago Nate & I were invited to be Keynote speakers and talk to their attendees about Backdrop CMS, which at the time, had not yet been released.
An engaging and interactive Backdrop LIVE
We have been experimenting with the use of a Mural Board for the upcoming Backdrop LIVE.
MURAL is a digital workspace for visual collaboration, where everyone can do their best work together.
In other words, a Mural Board is a fancy virtual white board that can be used for collaboration and facilitating virtual meetings.
Backdrop LIVE is March 12-13 (or 14th in some places)
GHC Open Source Day 2020 - Getting Started
Backdrop CMS is participating in the Grace Hopper Celebration, Open Source Day 2022. This blog post was specially written for the same event in 2020.
Dear Open Source Day participants,
We are so grateful that you are volunteering your time to help us make Backdrop CMS a better product for the 1000's of small businesses and non-profits that rely on it. Over the next couple of years, some 700,000 Drupal 7 sites will be looking for a path forward as Drupal 7 reaches end of life.
OpenForce 2022 Update
OpenForce 2022 participants should start with this blog post.
It's really been great to see all the OpenForce 2022 participants in our issue queue over the last two weeks. We have three issues that have been committed to Backdrop already, with two more that are already RTBC (ready to be committed), and quite a few that are under review or being worked on.
DrupalSouth 2016: We come in peace.
DrupalSouth was in Gold Coast in the "Sunshine State" this year and Backdrop was invited to present. Being a member of the PMC residing in Australia, I was asked if I could do the presentation and I gladly accepted.
Backdrop CMS in Guadalajara
Last weekend Nate & I headed south to Guadalajara in order to attend Drupal Camp Mexico. While there we gave our standard Backdrop talk with a few new twists.
Backdrop CMS at the Twin Cities Drupal Camp (and security + affordability)
This year at the Twin Cities Drupal Camp there was a full-day Backdrop CMS training workshop to kick off the event. As opposed to previous workshops on Backdrop, the students in this class were primarily decision makers - those responsible for deciding whether Backdrop was suitable for their new projects, existing sites, entire departments, or website development shops. It would appear that it is finally time to start making decisions about the future!
Backdrop Contribution Day - April 20, 2019
This weekend Jen Lampton will be working with a group of high school students, in the Oakland area, on contributing to Backdrop CMS. In support of these efforts, we have decided to announce an informal Backdrop CMS contribution day. If you are a supporter of the Backdrop project and have been looking for an opportunity to contribute, Saturday would be a great opportunity to jump in and help us with a task, regardless of where you are.
Backdrop CMS at Drupal Camp Utah 2018
Joseph and I went to Drupal Camp Utah on May 4th, 2018 (Star Wars Day). This was our 3rd camp at Utah, but it’s been a while since our last one, so there were a lot of unfamiliar faces, but that’s never bothered us before.
