Migrations on the road

At the end of August I was in San José, Costa Rica where I presented both of the migrate talks my colleague Novella and I have worked on over the past year (unfortunately she could not make it as she moved to Detroit that week). It was fun to present talks I've worked with for so long... familiar. Low-stress. All the notes are now safely stored in markdown format on GitHub. Bliss. Since they are both in an accessible format I have posted them here for others to access. Of coruse, particularly with the project management talk, the real fun in the presentation is the examples we cite as we talk through each issue, so you'll have to live without that.

Here they are:

Migration Shotgun Tour

(Montréal 2016, Costa Rica 2016) - in markdown and as HTML/JS slides.

Project Planning a Migration Project

(Montréal 2016, Costa Rica 2016, Ottawa 2015) - in markdown and as HTML/JS slides. ...unfortunately there are no recordings of these talks. I tried to capture audio of one of them and did not realize the disk was full. :-/ Prior to these two talks I have done many different variations of these presentations at other camps and summits going back as far as 2013 when I presented commerce_migrate_ubercart to the Toronto Drupal community. It was my first-ever Drupal talk. Since then I became a maintainer of that module and done many talks and countless migrations since! I'm hoping to get back into Commerce migrations when 2.x hits beta, which I hear will be coming soon. My next upcoming migrate talk will be a full-day training at BadCamp 2016 in Berkeley, California. It is already sold out (sorry!).

See you at DrupalCon Dublin?

Before BadCamp 2016 I will be in Dublin for DrupalCon... sorta! Specifically I will be at the Business Summit on Monday and the Friday Sprints, but NOT at the conference itself (ie, Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday). Obviously I don't have a talk at the conference this time around... but I will still be in Dublin for that time so I may still see some of you at the parties. If you want to get lunch outside the conference venue or join me for some sight seeing let me know! I'm on twitter (and yes DMs will ding my phone, even when I travel, so long as I'm paying attention to it). If it is work related, you can also reach out to me through the contact form at kafei.ca.
