This hour is set aside for social time and community building. We are inviting members of the community to spend up to 5 minutes sharing a skill, talent, or hobby that is not directly related to Backdrop CMS.
Let's have a discussion about SEO. I've tried to make use of my librarian training in the past to game search results. I'll offer some of my experiences with search console, analytics and data studio. All Google products.
When I worked for the library we had a language learning database that we called Free Rosetta Stone but people couldn't find it. So I went to work on the node for it.
WordPress powers over 40% of websites on the internet. It offers a user-friendly interface, a vast library of plugins and themes, and a large community of developers and users who contribute to its ongoing development and support. There are over 455 million active installations of WordPress software, compared to...fewer Backdrop installations.
Over the last few months I decided to start building some of the decoupled blocks that I've been hearing about at Drupal events. After getting the Drupal version working I wondered about how I would put the same block into a Backdrop site. So I changed the module to be a Backdrop module instead of a Drupal module.
After that project I had a Backdrop site that had information I wanted to share inside a Drupal site. I reversed the process, making a decoupled Backdrop block first and then changing the module to be a Drupal module.

The views module is a powerful tool that allows site administrators to create complicated and dynamic displays of their content without writing any code or knowledge of database queries.
Join this conversation about the future of Paragraphs for Backdrop. This session will include a short demo of the current state of functionality in the Paragraphs module, as well as a sneak-peak at some functionality that is in development but hasn't been shared publicly yet. Following that, a time of conversation will help provide questions, input, feedback and hopes about what is to come.
This is our opening session when we'll talk about:
Have you ported or created a module that you want to share? Perhaps you are excited about a module that you've recently discovered and think it deserves a bit of a celebration?
This event is open for anyone to share about a module. I'll be sharing a few that I've done; hopefully others will too.
