Hello friends,

At DrupalCon Europe 2020, a BoF brought together some distribution maintainers who want to collaborate and exchange ideas on a regular basis in the future. We are planning monthly meetups and would like to use this group for announcements, documentation and other exchanges.

I would like to propose to rename the group to "Distributions" and make installation profiles one of many topics in the discussion. I would be happy to take over the management of this group as it seems to have fallen somewhat silent.

Botafoc.cat is a project to be focused on making a base distribution of drupal. The idea is compile the typical modules and configurations that is in vast majority sites using drupal.

Hi guys,

Over the weekend I have developer a simple invoicing tool useful for Drupal contractors to create an invoices.

It's based on Bootstrap and contains so far two content types, three hooks and two templates.

I am thinking to share with this idea and build something more advances as an open source.

Could you help me out with with publishing this distribution on Drupal.org, please?
I haven't done it so could you point me at a right direction?

Interested in seeing the upcoming COD 7.x-1.0 stable? come BoF with us! We'll also demo some of features of the new events.drupal.org, which is running on mainline cod.

If you're interested in sprinting later at Drupalcon, we will schedule a sprint for Friday. Our plan is to release 1.0 if we get enough volunteers. Add you name to this list if you want to help out at Drupalcon, even if you're remote:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/109drAI9MUofxh_JP7GSayfYrRZWYuK_p...

Please mark 'add to my schedule' on the Drupalcon LA site if you're interested in Attending!

update: released a beta version that is reasonably stable and has more site-builder tools

Only local images are allowed.

Thanks to everyone sprinting this week, we put over 250 combined hours on getting COD into a stable state and released our first beta at Drupalcon Austin!

Major new features from the alphas (Before Jan):

Transitioned from Entity Registration to Ticket module

Having a proper registration system that meets the needs of camps, cons, and non-drupal events has been a source of pain and work-arounds in the 7.x version of COD (and registration in general). The ticket module changes much of this by re-architecting to a data model similar to eventbrite.

I was somewhat overwhelmed at the amount of people who are trying to use COD, and found out a bit of that first hand this weekend. I'm happy to say beta is coming along very nicely, and we've made some great progress in the past few months...

Thanks to the NYC Camp team for input and showing me how they've used COD for their site, I'm looking forward to integrating their improvements upstream, especially the dashboards. MongoDB was there, Jason working on Ticket Module, and Emilie has written a new base theme for COD based on Omega4.

Hello,

Is it possible to use two distribution profile in one Drupal installation website. For Example - Suppose I want to use Commerce Kickstart Distribution (https://drupal.org/project/commerce_kickstart) to make an e-commerce site but also I want to use Spark Distribution (https://drupal.org/project/spark) in same website because it has Responsive admin control panel. So is this possible?
If not, is there any alternative way?

We're getting to the point in the Drupal 8 cycle where the UI's are starting to solidify and we have fairly static markup to write interface tours against.

So to facilitate this, we're going to have a weekly scrum to coordinate pain points, progress and participants.

If you're interested in helping write tours for the Drupal 8 UI or identify and resolve any remaining API issues, please come along to this short meeting (Google hangout).

If you're coming to BADcamp, come help make COD for Drupal 7.x better!

We'll be tackling a few issues in the queue, and depending on how much we get done, releasing a new Alpha.

Discuss below which things you want to work on, and maybe with some pre-organization we can make this a really effective sprint. I'll be at BADcamp sprinting on mainly commons, but want to help people get setup if they're interested in improving COD.

Some topics:
1) Moving scheduling from rooms to event CT
- https://drupal.org/node/2009512
2) Getting default (or current events) setup

There seems to be some interest and use case for Drupal-based digital signage. bneil, AndrewGearhart, and btopro had a good conversation in #drupal-edu about some ideas and thought we needed to start collecting our ideas.

Let's use this wiki as a place to start organizing ourselves around what our requirements are and what general functionality we can share between our institutions.

Hopefully we'll end up with a nice list of requirements that we can work together to build a solid base for Drupal digital signage.

History and Goals
Connect people who need help with people who can give help.

Next week Ezra, Joseph, and Jakob will all be at Drupalcon to further the goals of Commons and COD, two distributions supported by Acquia.

My hopes for COD is to get another update since the Alpha2 release we did at Sandcamp. Its unfortunate that it seems updates only occur after camp, but on the otherhand it just shows how much can get done when we have the community working in the same room as each other!

These are my basic goals:
* Scale the gaps between COD6 and COD7, make a MOSCOW chart to prioritize what needs to be done.
