Lullabot at DrupalCon Seattle

Parent Feed: 

We're excited to announce that 15 Lullabots will be speaking at DrupalCon Seattle! From presentations to panel discussions, we're looking forward to sharing insights and good conversation with our fellow Drupalers. Get ready for mass Starbucks consumption and the following Lullabot sessions. And yes, we will be hosting a party in case you're wondering. Stay tuned for more details!

Karen Stevenson, Director of Technology

Karen will talk about the challenges of the original Drupal AMP architecture, changes in the new branch, and some big goals for the future of the project.

Zequi Vázquez, Developer

Zequi will explore Drupal Core vulnerabilities, SA-CORE-2014-005 and SA-CORE-2018-7600, by discussing the logic behind them, why they present a big risk to a Drupal site, and how the patches work to prevent a successful exploitation.

Sally Young, Senior Technical Architect (with Matthew Grill, Senior JavaScript Engineer at Acquia & Daniel Wehner, Senior Drupal Developer at Chapter Three)

Discussing common problems and best practices of decoupled Drupal has surpassed the question of whether or not to decouple. Sally, Matthew, and Daniel will talk about why the Drupal Admin UI team went with a fully decoupled approach as well as common approaches to routing, fetching data, managing state with autosave and some level of extensibility.

Sally Young, Senior Technical Architect (with Lauri Eskola, Software Engineer in OCTO at Acquia; Matthew Grill, Senior JavaScript Engineer at Acquia; & Daniel Wehner, Senior Drupal Developer at Chapter Three)

The Admin UI & JavaScript Modernisation initiative is planning a re-imagined content authoring and site administration experience in Drupal built on modern JavaScript foundations. This session will provide the latest updates and a discussion on what is currently in the works in hopes of getting your valuable feedback.

Greg Dunlap, Senior Digital Strategist

Greg will take you on a tour of the set of tools we use at Lullabot to create predictable and repeatable content inventories and audits for large-scale enterprise websites. You will leave with a powerful toolkit and a deeper understanding of how you use them and why.

Mike Herchel, Senior Front-end Developer

If you're annoyed by slow websites, Mike will take you on a deep dive into modern web performance. During this 90 minute session, you will get hands-on experience on how to identify and fix performance bottlenecks in your website and web app.

Matt Westgate, CEO & Co-founder

Your DevOps practice is not sustainable if you haven't implemented its culture first. Matt will take you through research conducted on highly effective teams to better understand the importance of culture and give you three steps you can take to create a cultural shift in your DevOps practice. 

April Sides, Developer

Life is too short to work for an employer with whom you do not share common values or fits your needs. April will give you tips and insights on how to evaluate your employer and know when it's time to fire them. She'll also talk about how to evaluate a potential employer and prepare for an interview in a way that helps you find the right match.

Karen Stevenson, Director of TechnologyPutra Bonaccorsi, Senior Front-end DeveloperWes Ruvalcaba, Senior Front-end Developer; & Ellie Fanning, Head of Marketing

Karen, Mike, Wes, and team built a soon-to-be-launched Drupal 8 version of Lullabot.com as Layout Builder was rolling out in core. With the goal of giving our non-technical Head of Marketing total control of the site, lessons were learned and successes achieved. Find out what those were and also learn about the new contrib module Views Layout they created.

Matthew Tift, Senior Developer

The words "rockstar" and "rock star" show up around 500 times on Drupal.org. Matthew explores how the language we use in the Drupal community affects behavior and how to negotiate these concepts in a skillful and friendly manner.

Helena McCabe, Senior Front-end Developer (with Carie Fisher, Sr. Accessibility Instructor and Dev at Deque)

Helena and Carie will examine how web accessibility affects different personas within the disability community and how you can make your digital efforts more inclusive with these valuable insights.

Open source has the potential to transform society, but Drupal does not currently represent the diversity of the world around us. These members of the Drupal Diversity & Inclusion (DDI) group will discuss the state of Drupal diversity, why it's important, and updates on their efforts.

Mateu Aguiló Bosch, Senior Developer (with Wim Leers, Principal Software Engineer in OCTO at Acquia & Gabe Sullice, Sr. Software Engineer, Acquia Drupal Acceleration Team at Acquia)

Mateu and his fellow API-first Initiative maintainers will share updates and goals, lessons and challenges, and discuss why they're pushing for inclusion into Drupal core. They give candy to those who participate in the conversation as an added bonus!

Jeff Eaton, Senior Digital Strategist

Personalization has become quite the buzzword, but the reality in the trenches rarely lives up to the promise of well-polished vendor demos. Eaton will help preserve your sanity by guiding you through the steps you should take before launching a personalization initiative or purchasing a shiny new product. 

Also, from our sister company, Drupalize.Me, don't miss this session presented by Joe Shindelar:

Joe will discuss how Gatsby and Drupal work together to build decoupled applications, why Gatsby is great for static sites, and how to handle private content, and other personalization within a decoupled application. Find out what possibilities exist and how you can get started.
