Just a reminder, Backdrop LIVE is an unconference that focuses on facilitated discussions rather than structured presentations (although we have a few of those too). Anyone can suggest a topic for the schedule. We welcome topics that are not Backdrop specific. We'd welcome discussions about things happening in the Drupal community.

Block D is available for folks in time zones very different from the USA.

I'm pleased to see this announcement from #Fosstodon

"Following a discussion with our patrons, the policy requiring posts to be in English on Fosstodon has been removed. The moderation team will utilize available translation technologies for moderation purposes. However, we may request community support for languages not supported by our translation software, or where context isn't well understood. We appreciate your patience as we incorporate this change into our moderation practices."

I just made a video promoting a 6 hour online course I'm offering to help beginners get started with Backdrop CMS.

Members of the Backdrop CMS opensource project would like to invite some folks involved in other opensource CMS projects to show us what you are working on.

We'd love to get a demo of your CMS and then follow-up with a discussion about how our favorite CMS compares to yours and what we might learn from each other?

Anyone interested in this?

NOTE: We have Drupal resources already, looking for others...

Special bonus for participants in #mnfringe tonight.

I've been using #darktable to process my RAW drone photography for almost a year now.

It takes a while to get used to it, a lifetime to learn it all, but I've been enjoying the experience and I think I'm getting the hang of it. There are some great resources out there to help learn how to use it.

Thanks @elaterite for pointing me in this direction.

I drive by this scene a couple of times per month and keep thinking I should stop and take a photo.

I finally did (just a few days ago).

Backdrop LIVE is Sept 22-23.

It's an online event for learning about #BackdropCMS and sharing information.

Everyone is welcome.

BackdropCMS has been described as a cross between Wordpress and Drupal. This is your chance to ask questions and talk to other people that use it.

I am a member of Fosstodon and have been pretty happy with the server and it's volunteer moderators/administrators.

Anyone interested in the #Fosstodon English Only policy discussion, please make sure that you have read this:

https://hub.fosstodon.org/why-fosstodon-is-english-only/

It may not change your opinion, but it will hopefully answer many of the most obvious questions that I'm seeing today.

To my knowledge there was no significant opposition to this very public policy on a very large server a week ago.

These critters were very curious about the drone.

Twin Cities Drupal Camp is just over a month away. We've long had one of the biggest and best camps in the country. Please, consider joining us.

Hoping to get a critical mass of BackdropCMS folks here as well to share experiences and lessons learned upgrading Drupal 7 sites to #BackdropCMS.

One more request from Drupal friends.

What contrib modules do you like to use with Layout Builder to extend it's functionality or improve the UX?

I've created a bunch of Backdrop CMS instructional videos. They can be found here:

Enjoying this opportunity to participate in the #Fosstodon meetup and meet other opensource/fediverse folk.

Hope to do this again in the future.

I just used

https://followgraph.vercel.app/

to see who the people I follow on Mastodon are following. Not that I NEED more people in my timeline, it's pretty busy already. But I did find some new accounts to follow and a few that I thought I already was following.

My latest Simplo (by Triplo) video is a short tour of 13 popular contributed themes for Backdrop CMS. 11 front end themes and 2 admin themes, including Gin (inspired by #Drupal theme).

In an open source community, we keep things very loose and unstructured to encourage participation. But, sometimes this leads to frequent rehashing of problems without any movement towards a solution.

This is frustrating and causes people to drop out or quit participating.

I need to do better and finding the balance between structure and the flexibility to welcome new people into the process.

Ideas?

Taken a few hundred yards down river from the photo I posted yesterday. This one shows more of the landscape.

This was about week ago. Drove by this lake today and it was mostly frozen over.
