More details will be added, but I'd like to talk about how we can optimise our contrib repos to help point to Backdrop from as many directions as possible.

Generative AI like Chat GPT and GitHub Copilot are important innovations.  Let's talk about how we are using them and discuss ideas for Backdrop modules.  

I've recently started moving sites off Pantheon and onto Amezmo. I'd love to share my experiences with Backdrop sites. 

• How to set up a Backdrop Site on Amezmo
• How to handle configuration files
• Similarities and differences beween Pantheon and Amezmo
