Migration In D7, we used the Migrate Drupal to Drupal module, what’s the case for D8? Speak on pattern of using Migrate Drupal as a basis for a migration. Migration plugins and yml configuration declarations are an improvement on an already excellent module - if you are going to handle migrations like you did in 7 - which might be appropriate depending on your use case Appropriate where you are significantly revising the content model, configuration or site composition. What are some of the pros and cons of the way Migrate Drupal works in D8? Pros Migration of most Drupal settings: registration emails, site name, debug settings, etc. Migration of most fields (work is ongoing to include contrib into upgrade migrations) Migration of all content types with nodes and revisions Cons By default, fixed ids (not ideal for staged work) Miss an opportunity to take out the trash   Configuration management Let’s talk about configuration management. I know from working with you guys that you started out using Features... Tried out a features based approach at first - because it was similar to well established patterns in 7 - but abandoned it for the project Feature branch activity then confex seems to be working out well Configuration import and export has inspired a lot of confidence in getting to known states. The challenge is probably in managing environmental config settings - that’s where Master still might have a place. Using configuration export and import committed to git repo. Challenges of local configuration vs production configuration. Managing code review Automated removal of local configuration Would like to know some other people’s workflows Episode Links Allan on Drupal.org -  https://www.drupal.org/u/generalredneck Allan on Twitter - https://twitter.com/general_redneck Allan’s Website - http://generalredneck.com David on Twitter - http://twitter.com/beautyhammer David on Drupal.org - https://www.drupal.org/u/thebruce David’s Website - http://daviddiers.com David on GitHub - https://github.com/thebruce David on SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/beautyhammer Migrate documentation (plugins) - https://www.drupal.org/node/2129651 Drupal.org issue on how to export migration configuration - https://www.drupal.org/node/2704721

## Group Module* What is the Group module? * A really awesome tool to basically create subsites within one site, private content, manage groups of people or all that combined.* Why did you create it instead of just using OG? * OG DX experience...* There are versions for D7 and D8. Which are you more focused on? * D8* How is the Group module different from Organic Groups? * Good question! The key difference is how the modules decide to structure their data, how that affects the user flow and how the configuration model is built.* What is the underlying architecture? OG uses entityreferences heavily. How does Group work? * Dedicated Group Entity* What’s the status? Is it usable now? (D7 and D8) * Available for Drupal 7 and 8, with the 8 version being a large improvement over D7. There’s a few minor things I need to add to the D8 version, but it looks and works great already!* Is there much difference between the Drupal 7 and 8 version? * Yes and no: the key concept remains the same, but the UX and data model was improved even further. I would really recommend going forward with D8 from now on if you have the chance. ## Use Cases* Why should I use Group instead of OG? * UX, UX, UX * data structure * DX * But most of all: dedicated functionality, it will all make sense!* Users that get something special that you can’t do with Roles* Groups of people* Groups of content* There are so many!!! ## Questions from Twitter* Michelle Lauer [@bymiche](https://twitter.com/bymiche)How many subgroups can you nest? How are permissions inherited?* Michelle Lauer [@bymiche](https://twitter.com/bymiche)Can you easily categorize roles within a group?* Michelle Lauer [@bymiche](https://twitter.com/bymiche)If you have many roles and want to expose them to "managers" - for UX purposes, roles in categories would be easier to look at* Erich Beyrent [@ebeyrent](https://twitter.com/ebeyrent)Sounds like a great UX, what about DX - is there a well-defined API as well?* Damien McKenna [@DamienMcKenna](https://twitter.com/DamienMcKenna)Any plans to port some OG modules, e.g. og_menu or og_menu_single?* Damien McKenna [@DamienMcKenna](https://twitter.com/DamienMcKenna)Would it be possible to create og_forum's functionality out of the box or will it require custom work?* Damien McKenna [@DamienMcKenna](https://twitter.com/DamienMcKenna)Are the join forms configurable/fieldable?* Ted Bowman [@tedbow](https://twitter.com/tedbow)Interested in this. Can you add fields to a membership? * Erich Beyrent [@ebeyrent](https://twitter.com/ebeyrent)What doesn't Groups do? Are there features that you feel need to be added before 1.0 release?

 Commerce 2.x for Drupal 8 What has been the biggest success of Commerce on D7? By starting from scratch on D7 technologies we created a solution that is intuitive to Drupal developers and easier to extend. And with 60k installs, we’ve set a record for ecommerce on Drupal in general. And what do you think have been its biggest weaknesses? Not prioritizing UX from the start. Took us a year after the 1.0 release to create Inline Entity Form and recreate the admin screens as a part of the Kickstart. At that point many people already had the impression that Commerce was hard to use. Not providing enough direction to developers. Flexibility is important, as is having unopinionated code. But developers also need to have a clear and obvious path forward. Having an opinionated layer on top, with sane defaults, can save a lot of development time and prevent frustration. Not prioritizing certain features, leaving them to contrib instead. Modules that make up the checkout ux (checkout progress, checkout redirect, addressbook), discounts. Of course, all generals are smart after the battle. How has that influenced the development of Commerce 2.x? With Commerce 2.x we once again started from scratch, evaluating all feedback received in the 1.x cycle. We decided to address all three of these major points. Better UX means paying more attention to the product and order admin experience, as well as providing better checkout out of the box. Better APIs means doing more work for the developer, especially around pricing and taxes. And finally, we’re growing the core functionality. We’re expecting a dozen contrib modules to be no longer needed, as we address edge cases and add functionality. What are some of the biggest new features of Commerce 2.x? Multi-store will allow people to bill customers from different branches (US and FR offices, for example), or create marketplaces like Etsy. Improved support for international markets means better address forms, better currency management, and significantly better tax support, the kind that will reduce the need for people to use cloud-based tax solutions, at least in Europe. Support for multiple order types, each with its own checkout and workflows will allow developers to create tailored experiences for different kinds of products, such as events, ebooks, t-shirts. An integrated discounts UI means more power to the store admin. And this is just the beginning. Under the hood there are many small features and improvements, over both 1.x and Kickstart. What has Commerce done to integrate better with the PHP and Drupal communities? We’ve created several independent ecommerce libraries, attacking currency formatting, address management and taxes. These libraries are now being adopted by the wider PHP community, bringing us additional contributors. On the Drupal side we’ve joined forces with the Profile2 team, creating the D8 Profile module that we’ll use for customer profiles. We’re also depending on Inline Entity Form, which is now shared with the Media team. We’re also moving some of our generic entity code into a new Entity API module, maintained together with Daniel Wehner and other community members. Finally, we have been champions of Composer, the replacement for Drush Make, and required for any module that depends on external libraries. The Future of Commerce 2.x Commerce 2.x is now in alpha2. What’s included? What’s next? Alpha2 includes stores and products, as well as initial order and cart implementations. It also has functional currency management and formatting, address and profile management. Alpha3, to be released in the next two weeks, is focusing on completing the order and cart implementations, and adding the initial checkout implementation. Post-alpha3 our focus will be on discounts, taxes, and finally, payments. The best way to learn more about this is to read the drupalcommerce.org blog, where I post “Commerce 2.x stories” detailing work done so far. We have several new posts planned for february. When can we expect Commerce 2.x to be production ready? Our current goal is to release a production ready beta by end of march. We should also have Search API and Rules by then. Leading up to DrupalCon New Orleans we’ll be helping the community implement shipping and licensing and port payment modules. At the same time, we’ll be focusing on reaching RC status. What’s the status of commerce contrib? Like PayPal, Authorize.net, etc. How can the community help? Each new alpha welcomes more manual testing and feedback. We also have office hours every wednesday at 3PM GMT+1 on #drupal-commerce where people can discuss code and help out on individual issues. Do you feel that requiring Commerce to be installed via Composer will impact adoption? The average developer is already familiar with Composer and will benefit greatly from it, just like D7 developers benefited from Drush Make. Getting Drupal, Commerce, and all dependencies is a single Composer command, as is keeping it all up to date. People unwilling to run Composer on their servers can run it locally and commit the result. I’m also hoping we’ll be able to offer distribution-like tarballs on either drupal.org or drupalcommerce.org as we get closer to a release candidate. Questions from Twitter howdytom ‏@howdytomCommerce Kickstart provides a great toolset with basic configuration. Is there a plan to do a Commerce Kickstart for Drupal 8? If not, will Commerce provide more out of the box solutions for a full featured shop? Commerce Kickstart had several parts. The first one was about providing better admin and checkout UX, as well as discounts. That’s now handled by Commerce out of the box. The second was about providing a demo store with a developed set of frontend pages. That’s going to stay in contrib and will greatly benefit from the flexibility introduced by Drupal 8 and CMI. It’s too early to plan a distribution yet. Drupal 8 has almost no contrib, and drupal.org doesn’t support using Composer to build distributions yet. However, we are using Composer to provide single-command site templates, the kind that gives you Drupal core, Commerce and other modules. This will allow us to provide good starting points for different use cases, similar in nature to Commerce Kickstart 1.x. Once 2017 comes around, we’ll investigate next steps. Jimmy Henderickx ‏@StryKaizerIn commerce d8, will it be possible to alter a product name dynamicly (either by hook or other solution)? Czövek András ‏@czovekandrasAny plans making iframe payment methods 1st class citizens? Thinking of running checkout form callbacks. Marc van Gend ‏@marcvangendHow did D8 architecture change the way you code your modules?

## Project* For people who might not know, what is a Drupal distribution? * Out of the box, vanilla Drupal doesn’t do much - you have to install modules and mold it into what you want * A distribution is Drupal prepackaged with contrib modules and themes, pre-configured for a specific use case (OOB, X+Y) * What is Panopoly? * A “starter site” distribution (replacement for vanilla Drupal) * A “base distribution” on which to build other distributions * A set of Features modules that can be used outside of Panopoly * Why would someone want to use Panopoly instead of vanilla Drupal? * Improved blank slate * Includes some the most popular modules and configuration that almost everyone is using anyway * Hide Drupal-isms from site managers and users * WYSIWYG, Media, responsive layouts, edit in place, live previews, improved search, UX improvements, a11y improvements * Include a bunch of stuff backported from D8: toolbar, responsive bartik, etc * Unified content/layout management system built on Panels eco-system * Rather than learning all that community knowledge over, re-use a well thought out, tested approach to doing Drupal * Some people love Panels, but others hate it. Why would someone who isn’t a “Panels lover” want to use Panopoly? * Best of Panels eco-system * You build with Views, Entities/Fields, custom code, whatever - the Panels bits tie those things together and allow users to customize them * We hide the nastiest bits (page_manager UI) from users and site managers * Why would someone want to create their own distro? * Boilerplate, build once / deploy lots, maintenance of lots of sites * Even small organizations can benefit * What advantages do you get by build your distro on Panopoly? * Like “base theme” shared work (like WYSIWYG, responsive, etc) and defined approach * Focus only on the unique stuff in your distro (by fitting into Panopoly’s architecture) * Why would someone want to use one of Panopoly’s Features modules outside of Panopoly? * [Quick background on Feature] * Dozen or so features * If like just a piece of Panopoly (ex. panopoly_wysiwyg) you could steal it! * Lots of thought into buttons to enable, filtering for control/security, additional features like Media/Linkit * Updating distributions can be hard. What does Panopoly do to help with this? * [explain why hard] * Docs * CI * distro_update * Security updates in particular can be hard, because you have to wait for the distro to make its own update. How does Panopoly handle them? * [mention how handled in the past / security team] * What are the plans for Panopoly in Drupal 8?
