MidCamp 2016
17 - 20 Mar 2016 at University of Illinois Student Center West

I've seen several presentations on the what and why of decoupled Drupal, and this was the best. I recommend everyone watch this video to see when and why you want to decouple, who is using it where, and when you DON'T want to decouple Drupal (i.e. what you will lose).

I really enjoyed this session and there was a lot of helpful information about why and how to use docker containers and composer for dev workflow. I was distracted by the notices that kept popping up while he was presenting, but otherwise I think Doug did an awesome job.

Greg is a magical speaker. His presentation skills alone were incredible, with me often thinking, "how is he doing that" changing slides and video without ever breaking eye contact with the audience. He told a story many of us can relate to, and explored what it is about our profession attracts folks with different mental illnesses. Two things I would like to see him explore more. 1. some warning signs managers can look for and how they can help effectively and 2. encourage sufferers to explore different strategies (including meds, therapy, movement, stress management, social interaction, etc.) and to realize the first med they take might not work, so keep trying. Everyone is different, but we have more in common than we think sometimes.

I very much enjoyed this session. The content was clearly explained, providing insights into why using a style guide to drive development is important (on a broad scale), some methods for implementing in Drupal (such as the style guide module) and how to make it easy to keep your style guide up to date (such as with KSS) . Presentation wise, Brian did a great job. The session was well passed and the visuals helped drive the points made to the crowd.

Tess is an excellent, funny, thoughtful, and super smart presenter with very excellent socks. By tracing her own frustrations encountering the weirdisms of Drupal 7 then sharing her enthusiasm for the engineering choices made for Drupal 8, she gave the community much to think about how we work together and build a better project. The drawings were especially good.

Great session. Didn't have a lot of prior experience with this topic, but walked away confident that I could implement callback commands in D8 with the content from this session as a guide.

Wasn't able to attend in person, but listened to recording. Thanks for talking about this difficult and important topic!
