DrupalEasy Podcast

We talk with Leslie Glynn about the Project Browser initiative with a specific focus on how to check it out and get involved with the project.

We talk with Alison Jo McCauley about how to be a mentor, including skills required, how to manage a mentor/mentee relationship, and tips for success.

Stan Ascher is the name of the person Alison mentioned during the podcast who played guitar during lunch at GovCon.

We talk with Brian Perry about web components, and how to get started with this new-ish technology.

Get ready for your trip to Seattle with this April Fool's Day special episode of the DrupalEasy Podcast.

Drupal Fools

a Dr. Seuss joint (sortof)

From the top of your head to the tips of your toes,
You are a Drupaller, everyone knows.

You think about Drupal all day and all night.
You’re more than obsessed with getting things right.

Your Views and your Fields and your Content Types,
Simply scream “Drupal!” here are some reasons why:

Ryan Price, Principal Engineer, Drupal and Web with Autodesk joins Mike Anello to discuss the hurdles involved with implementing a continuous integration system, OpenDevShop, improving hook_help(), a Drupal 8 Feeds-like module, and DrupalCon Seattle!

Ryan Price and Mike Anello discuss the pros and cons of the Paragraphs module, including using it for layout and/or information architecture. Ryan takes the discussion in unexpected directions by bringing up Pattern Lab as a prototyping tool and his mysterious "Ace in the Hole" (which Mike feels is more like a Jack of spades). In addition, there's some discussion about a new-ish feature in the Migrate Plus module that is sure to make migration developers happy.

Ryan Price and Mike Anello sit down for less than an hour(!) and cover all the Drupal news that's fit to discuss from the past few weeks. Topics covered include Composer, modernizing Drupal's issue queue, ES6, external site search engines, and Drupal 8 configuration management contributed modules.

A quick live podcast featuring a reaction from Mike and Ryan about [Dries' Drupal 9 Blog Post](http://buytaert.net/making-drupal-upgrades-easy-forever). Recorded on YouTube Live, and this audio version is reposted to our podcast channel for your convenience.

Almost all of the DrupalEasy Podcast hosts congregate to take a look back and a look forward at Drupal 8. We discuss some of our favorite things about Drupal 8 as well as what we're looking forward to the most in the coming year. Also, Anna provides us with a first-person look at DrupalCamp Northern Lights (Iceland), and Ted leads a discussion on Drupal 8.3.

Brian Lewis (bjlewis2), front-end engineer for Four Kitchens, and founder of Modules Unraveled joins Ryan Price and Mike Anello to figure out if/when we should all be using Composer to manage our Drupal projects. Once that was figured out, there were some picks of the week, Drupal-y news, and Brian goes on the hot seat for five questions.
