We will be using Zoom to hold all the discussions.
Details on how to join Zoom will be both emailed out, and posted on the website for registered attendees. On the day of the event, each Discussion topic on the website will be updated with a link to the appropriate Zoom room.
No, none of the discussions will be recorded. We are planning a very interactive event and recognize that some people are uncomfortable being recorded.
Discussions are meant to be community conversations, where everyone attending could spend an equal amount of time talking, should they choose to.
We also offer pre-recorded Presentations for people who would like to give a talk or lead a demonstration. A discussion on the same topic is welcome, but it should be limited to talking about the presentation, not repeating it.
All Backdrop CMS activities both online and offline are covered by our Code of Conduct. If you are participating in Backdrop LIVE, be sure to read through the code of conduct and make sure that you are in agreement.
We want this event to be accessible to everyone. We've made registration for Backdrop Live a suggested donation of $20 USD. You may donate whatever amount is comfortable for you. If you are not able to donate, please drop us a note via the contact form, and we'll be happy to help you out with a free ticket.
Please don't let finances get in the way of participating, you are more valuable to the community than the cost of any event.
You can use this website to submit either a Discussion topic or a Presentation.
Presentations are pre-recorded videos that everyone will be able to watch before the event begins.
Discussions can be led by anyone who would like to discuss a topic, you do not need to be an expert on the subject matter, only have an interest and be willing to start the conversation.
There is no official selection process, however event organizers may offer feedback on your idea, or ask if you would be willing to combine your discussion with a similar topic. We'll provide a list of available time slots for you to choose from.
