With the help and encouragement of community member, Sarvasri, I've been working on an online tutorial on how to build a Farmers Market Website with Backdrop CMS. In this presentation, we will walk through the process of building the following website:
Entity Reference module was merged into core just this week leading up to Backdrop LIVE! What's next for making references a fully integrated part of Backdrop core?

A practical workflow/method to make Upgrading Multiple Sites easy and reliable.
I will have some slides to show my Workflow, then open it up for comments.
I am particularly interested to hear your methods.

This presentation will discuss the Drupal 7 to Backdrop CMS upgrade process for two Stanford University web applications: Stanford On & Off-Campus Learning opportunities (solo.stanford.edu) and Stanford Seed Funding (seedfunding.stanford.edu). The presentation will cover the decision making process that led the product and developer teams to choose a Backdrop CMS upgrade over rebuild options, and will broadly outline the process for estimating and performing the ~550 hour upgrade.
How one nonprofit landed on Backdrop after several false starts (including a few with Backdrop), from specifications to launch. This session is for anyone who is still debating whether to use Drupal, Backdrop, or some other CMS, or for those new to Backdrop who want to know more about how to avoid the mistakes and frustrations we made getting to launch.
Who would like to share a 5-10 minute presentation on their favorite Backdrop CMS contrib project?
Please, post a note in the comments if you would like to participate or share a project.
Matomo Analytics provides an opensource self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics. Matomo has some great integrations for Backdrop CMS and some active contributors to the Backdrop community are using Matomo on their personal and client sites.
Wilbur recently set up a Matomo server on shared hosting for himself and Triplo/Simplo. We'll talk about how the process went and how it is working for us. We'd love to hear from others that are using Matomo on how it's working for them.
