Modern content systems are complex and abstract, presenting problems for managers who want to understand how their content is performing. At Autogram, Jeff Eaton and Karen McGrane have developed a content observability framework to address this complexity. Their framework evaluates the composition, quality, health, and effectiveness of content programs to help enterprises measure the return on their content investment. https://ellessmedia.com/csi/jeff-eaton-2/
Today we are talking about Drupal Basics, Why we got away from them, and what we do to bring them back with guest Mike Anello. We'll also cover Entity Reference Override as our module of the week. For show notes visit: https://www.talkingDrupal.com/496 Topics Where did this idea come from Why do you feel more basic content is necessary How did Drupal get away from the basics How can we get more basic talks into Drupal events How do we balance basic content with new topics like recipes or Drupal CMS How do we entice speakers to take these talks Could this adversely affect attendance Question from Stephen: How do we address virtual events and that they are preferred by a younger crowd Will Florida Drupal Camp have a track Guests Mike Anello - drupaleasy.com ultimike Hosts Nic Laflin - nLighteneddevelopment.com nicxvan John Picozzi - epam.com johnpicozzi Kathy Beck - kbeck303 MOTW Correspondent Martin Anderson-Clutz - mandclu.com mandclu Brief description: Have you ever wanted to replace a text field on entities you reference in your Drupal site? There's a module for that. Module name/project name: Entity Reference Override Brief history How old: created in Sep 2016 by Jeff Eaton, though recent releases are by Benjamin Melançon (mlncn) of Agaric Versions available: 2.0.0-beta3 which works with Drupal 10.1 or 11 Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage, yes but needs a stable release Test coverage Documentation - user guide Number of open issues: 13 open issues, 2 of which are bugs against the 2.0.x branch Usage stats: 2,004 sites Module features and usage The module defines a new field type, with associated widgets and formatters. Your site editors will see a normal entity reference field (autocomplete or select) with an additional text field. Text provided in that additional field can be used to override a specific field in the referenced entity's display, or add a class to its rendered markup. This could be handy in use cases like showing people with project-specific roles, or showing related articles with the summary tweaked to be more relevant to the main content being viewed. It's not a super-common need, but if you need this capability, it can save having to set up a more complicated content architecture with some kind of intermediary entity I thought this module would be interesting because today's guest, Mike Anello, is listed as one of the maintainers. Mike, what can you tell us about your history with the module and how you've used it?

In part 2 of our interview with Jeff Eaton from the Christian Rightcast, we talk through the history of the purity movement in detail. We account for how it changed over time, from AIDS being treated as a moral issue to True Love Waits. We also discuss biblical masculinity, Bill Gothard and the Duggars, and the motivations of leaders in the purity movement.
This incredible interview with Jeff Eaton, co-host of the Christian Rightcast, is split into two episodes. In this episode, we discuss Jeff's upbringing as a Christian homeschooler in the 1980s. Jeff tells us all about his experience in purity culture, from the earnestness that he felt for the cause to his eventual deconstruction. We talk about the destructive pitfalls of purity culture and how consent is not only an avoided topic, but actually toxic to the ideology of purity culture.
In a disheartening but long-anticipated 6-3 decision, the Supreme court struck down 1973’s Roe vs. Wade decision, eliminating constitutional protection for abortion. In this first episode after a 2021 hiatus, the hosts examine several threads in the anti-abortion movement’s generations-long trajectory:The origins of the modern anti-abortion movement, and Francis Schaeffer’s role in bringing the “Catholic Issue” to a relatively indifferent Evangelical world in the late 70sThe movement’s strategic shift in the early 80s from totalizing “fetus-centered” to “woman-centered” and “conscience-centered” arguments against abortion and incrementalist legislative goals The rise of deceptive “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” and their legally-fraught history of deceiving patients seeking abortions; Kristin discusses her experiences with the young fundamentalist women who keeping them running, and the danger of assuming the movement is primarily a male oneThe tension between the anti-abortion movement’s “anything is justified to stop murder” rhetoric, and its opposition to sex education and contraceptives; Jeff discusses his own history as a committed anti-abortion ideologue in the 90s, and the role that tension had in convincing him to leave — and eventually support abortion rights.Articles and essays in this episode include:The Changing Strategies of the Anti-Abortion Movement, 2021, by Daniela Mansbach and Alisa Von Hagel, Political Research AssociatesFoot Soldier of the Patriarchy, June 2022, Kristin Rawls, RevueOn Murder and The Other, June 2009, Jeff Eaton, Growing Up GoddyBooks mentioned or cited in this episode include:Women against Abortion: Inside the Largest Moral Reform Movement of the Twentieth Century, 2017, Karissa HaugebergAfter Roe: The Lost History of the Abortion Debate, 2015, Mary ZieglerAbortion and the Law in America: Roe v.

SummaryJeff Eaton has always been driven to find order in the complex, whether he was teaching himself programming skills or re-evaluating his relationship with faith and religion. Now, as Partner at Autogram, he's helping large companies make sense of their digital worlds. GuestJeff EatonHighlights As a kid, Jeff Eaton got interested in programming as a way to solve problems using Hypercard on his family's Mac computer. After high school, Jeff intended to go to college to study “new media” but a summer job at a marketing agency turned into a longer term job, and Jeff realized he was already doing the things he meant to study. A growing passion for open source and Drupal led Jeff to Lullabot, where he got to dive deeper into content strategy. On the side, Jeff co-hosts a podcast called Christian Rightcast, looking at the history and context of the Christian Right in America

When cities consider requests for tax increment financing or school districts seek help with bond referendums, people like Greg Crowe at Roseville-based Ehlers are oftentimes crunching the relevant numbers behind the scenes. Ehlers, a provider of public finance services for 1,500 clients in five states, recently promoted Crowe to president. An Ehlers employee since 2012, Crowe previously worked as a senior municipal adviser and principal for the company's Education Finance Team. Previously, the Grand Rapids, Minnesota, native worked as the primary budget analyst for education finance and co-controller for the Minnesota House of Representatives. As the company's new president, Crowe takes the baton from Jeff Eaton, who announced plans to retire at the end of the year. In the following interview, Crowe speaks with Reporter Brian Johnson about his new role with the company, the outlook for the bond market, the balancing act that school districts walk as they consider bond referendums and more.

So We're Starting a New One The numbers tell the story as well as any anecdote you've read in the headlines or heard within your own circles. Nearly a quarter of American academics in the social sciences or humanities endorse ousting a colleague for having a wrong opinion about hot-button issues such as immigration or gender differences. Over a third of conservative academics and PhD students say they had been threatened with disciplinary action for their views. Four out of five American PhD students are willing to discriminate against right-leaning scholars, according to a report by the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology. The picture among undergraduates is even bleaker. In Heterodox Academy's 2020 Campus Expression Survey, 62% of sampled college students agreed that the climate on their campus prevented students from saying things they believe. Nearly 70% of students favor reporting professors if the professor says something students find offensive, according to a Challey Institute for Global Innovation survey. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education reports at least 491 disinvitation campaigns since 2000. Roughly half were successful. University of Austin Wikipedia The University of Austin website Under "Our principles" Universities devoted to the unfettered pursuit of truth are the cornerstone of a free and flourishing democratic society. For universities to serve their purpose, they must be fully committed to freedom of inquiry, freedom of conscience, and civil discourse. In order to maintain these principles, UATX will be fiercely independent—financially, intellectually, and politically. Under "What Makes UATX Different" A COMMITMENT TO FREEDOM OF INQUIRY We're reclaiming a place in higher education for freedom of inquiry and civil discourse. Our students and faculty will confront the most vexing questions of human life and civil society. We will create a community of conversation grounded in intellectual humility that respects the dignity of each individual and cultivates a passion for truth. A NEW FINANCIAL MODEL We're completely rethinking how a university operates by developing a novel financial model. We will lower tuition by avoiding costly administrative excess and overreach. We will focus our resources intensively on academics, rather than amenities. We will align institutional incentives with student outcomes. AN INNOVATIVE CURRICULUM Our curriculum is being designed in partnership not only with the world's great thinkers but also with its great doers—visionaries who have founded bold ventures, artists and writers of the highest order, pioneers in tech, and the leading lights in engineering and the natural sciences. Students will apply their foundational skills to practical problems in fields such as entrepreneurship, public policy, education, and engineering. Under "Programs" Beginning Summer 2022 The Forbidden Courses Our Forbidden Courses summer program invites top students from other universities to join us for a spirited discussion about the most provocative questions that often lead to censorship or self-censorship in many universities. Students will become proficient and comfortable with productive disagreement. Instructors will range from top professors to accomplished business leaders, journalists, and artists. Beginning Fall 2022 ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND LEADERSHIP MA PROGRAM The primary purpose of most conventional business programs is to credential large cohorts of passive learners with a lowest-common-denominator curriculum comprised of the most abstract principles of accounting, finance, management, and organizational leadership. In this 12-month program, UATX will recruit elite students from top schools, teach them the classical principles of leadership and market foundations, and then embed them into a network of successful technologists, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and public-policy reformers. Students will then actively apply their learning to the most urgent and seemingly intractable problems facing our society, both in the private and public sectors. Under "Frequently Asked Questions" Do you have a physical location? Our headquarters are located in central Austin: 2112 Rio Grande Street, Austin, TX 78705 RashChapman, Attorneys at Law Texas Tribune, The new University of Austin hopes to counter what its founders say is a culture of censorship at most colleges They also haven't officially received nonprofit status from the federal government. They are using Cicero Research, which is run by Austin-based tech investor and advisory board member Joe Lonsdale, as a temporary nonprofit sponsor. According to the 2020 tax filing for Cicero Research, its mission is to “create and distribute non-partisan documents recommending free-market based solutions to public policy issues,” and “produce and distribute non-partisan educational materials about the importance of preserving Texan policies, values and history.” Lonsdale tweet about Pete Buttigieg's parternity leave Great for fathers to spend time w their kids and support moms, but any man in an important position who takes 6 months of leave for a newborn is a loser. In the old days men had babies and worked harder to provide for their future - that's the correct masculine response. US tech investor Joe Lonsdale refuses to apologise for ‘loser' paternity tweet Why Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale is leaving Silicon Valley Lonsdale said that 10 to 15 of his firm's 45 employees are likely to join him in the Austin area. He's also moving his policy organization, Cicero Institute, to the city. Among 8VC's better-known investments to date are Palmer Luckey's start-up, Anduril, which is building a virtual border wall, and Dustin Moskovitz's software company, Asana, which went public in September.

This is almost 11 hours worth of live speech, so it would be unbelievable if the number of false statements is zero. Should some false statements be identified, it will be for the world to see how the interested parties react. We want to compose high-quality fact-checking from average-quality ingredients: normal people, with our own biases and internal contradictions. A detailed description of the challenge process and rules is available here. In a nutshell: Anyone who identifies what they believe is a false statement will be required to submit their claim to us via public Twitter message with a specified hashtag. Three referees will evaluate each submission across two rounds, and all submissions scoring 9 or above will be awarded the $100 prize. Ground Truth Challenge: The Rules We've chosen and transcribed four recent podcasts featuring Bret Weinstein which discussed COVID-19 vaccines and/or Ivermectin. These are: Covid, Ivermectin, and the Crime of the Century. June 1, 2021. Video - Transcript How to Save the World in Three Easy Steps. June 11, 2021. Video - Transcript Joe Rogan Experience #1671 - Bret Weinstein & Dr. Pierre Kory. June 22, 2021. Video - Transcript Bret and Heather 87th DarkHorse Podcast Livestream: We Must Drive this Virus to Extinction. July 12, 2021. Video - Transcript Ground Truth Challenge: Results! So what of the outcome? In the end, only 3 challenges succeeded. Of these, two provided effective counter-arguments, not entirely refuting the target quote but providing sufficient counter-evidence to warrant narrowing or rephrasing it. The third is a straightforward factual error that was no longer true at the time of the podcast (see table below). The material consisted of 11 hours of live, unscripted speech put under extreme scrutiny, and with no prior warning to the speakers. We therefore feel it's remarkable that so few challenges ended up as successful - however, this was our first such challenge, so we have no point of comparison. Natural Selections Substack, On Driving SARS-CoV-2 Extinct If we are interested in minimizing harm from SARS-CoV2, we need to use prophylaxis to force extinction. Prophylaxis refers to action taken before exposure to prevent an event. A condom is prophylaxis against pregnancy. Doxycycline is prophylaxis against malaria. Vaccines and repurposed drugs such as ivermectin have both been presented as prophylaxis against Covid-19. In order to clear our planet of SARS-CoV2, we need safe and effective prophylaxis distributed so widely that it drives the virus to extinction. How we do this is up for debate, and of course there will be disagreement along the way. Some people, including the authors of a recently published Quillette article, see one and only one way forward: vaccination of every person with access to currently authorized vaccines. Other people, including ourselves, believe that the current vaccines—which are non-sterilizing, cannot quickly reach the entire world, and provide only narrow, short-lived immunity—cannot accomplish the goal, not even in principle. Any viable strategy for extinguishing SARS-CoV-2 in the near term must therefore include effective prophylaxis beyond the current crop of authorized vaccines. For now that means drugs taken to prevent infection for those who are unvaccinated and who have not had a confirmed case of Covid (and therefore lack natural immunity). It may also require prophylactic medicine for vaccinated people as fading vaccine-induced immunity and new variants evolving in response to the vaccination campaign render the current vaccines ever less effective. This is a departure for us, running exactly counter to our typical expectations. Ordinarily, we are enthusiastic about vaccines and decidedly skeptical about pills. On this issue though, with these vaccines, our position has flipped. There are several reasons for this: the novel and non-sterilizing nature of the vaccines being deployed, the potential for perverse incentives involved in a vaccine only strategy, emerging concerns about vaccine safety, and the logistical reality that vaccines alone cannot, and will not, get the job done. In addition, the most promising prophylactic medicine is also extremely well known, with a four-decade long and unusually clean global safety record. This reasoning is discussed in episode #87of our podcast. Gideon M-K thread on the Carvallo ivermectin study. "20/n Given that the graphical and written representations of the primary outcome of the study appear to conflict, and the results tables differ between the pre-registration and the publication, it is worth asking whether this study even took place at all" Gideon M-K at his Medium, Ivermectin Shows No Clear Benefit in the Treatment of Covid-19 The new study in question is called the Together Clinical Trials, and it's a truly amazing collaboration between a number of universities and research groups to study the effects of repurposed drugs on people with Covid-19 who attend hospitals as outpatients. Basically, they look at people who are at moderate risk but are experiencing relatively mild disease, randomize them to either get one of several drugs or a placebo, and then see if those drugs have any benefit in treating Covid-19. The full protocol is a masterpiece of science—well worth reading if you're interested in trial design. This trial has already demonstrated that hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir are unlikely to be beneficial treatments for people with Covid-19 in outpatient settings and, because of the hype around ivermectin, had included the drug in a treatment arm to see if it worked. The results from that part of the trial, including over 1,300 patients, were released in summary form late this afternoon. They showed no benefit for ivermectin in the treatment of Covid-19. None whatsoever. Gideon M-K, Medium post Is Ivermectin for Covid-19 Based on Fraudulent Research? Part 2 Most research is OK — it has some virtues, some oversights, some charms, some flaws. Some is excellent and transformative, some is terrible and harmful. When I first became interested in ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medication being tested for Covid-19, I expected a combo plate of the above — just like everything else. Maybe, and this is a worst-case scenario, a few cheeky papers that had been doctored or altered noticeably, something bad enough to leave a clue. I did not expect what has happened, what is happening. I hesitate to put this into words, because it scares me, and because I know the consequences of such statements. But there is no sugar thick enough to coat this: Ivermectin literature contains a staggering volume of scientific fraud. Not mistakes, or oversights, or gilded lilies. Fraud. My sincere opinion is that at least a third of the evidence supporting the use of ivermectin as a Covid-19 therapeutic is not just ‘ based on shaky data', but consists of studies that may never have happened at all.

With - once again - apologies for the gap between episodes, here is a very special edition in which Daniel plays host to Kristin Rawls and Jeff Eaton of the excellent Christian Rightcast podcast, to chat about the areas where their work - on the Christian Right, if the name of their show didn't tip you off - intersects with ours. Lots of laughs in this chat about depressingly awful people. Content warnings. Podcast Notes: Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay independent. Patrons get exclusive access to one full extra episode a month.

Yes, they think of themselves as the intellectuals of the Christian Right, but we aren't really agreeing with their assessment. And it's partly that they think charismatic/pentacostalism is "fairly tale nonsense," which is a direct quote from Rushdoony. Yes, that's racialized. But it's partly also that he thought he was better and more intellectual than institutions like Liberty because, like, he actually read books and was steeped in classics (this is where the pseudo-intellectual sheen of it comes from, which is a big thing that Wilson has carried on in starting the classical Christian school movement and a Great Books college). Those colleges are of course dead white man studies and nothing more than that, but it's kind of unusual in the Christian Right to actually read books. Which is to say, if there is any way in which their self-assessment is accurate, it's because the entire Christian Right is fundamentally anti-intellectual. This makes them unique for reading Plato. "So, it's partly that they're anti-charismatic in racialized ways (although the huge charismatic megachurches like Hillsong that get a lot of their scorn are VERY white). They also think Liberty and similar institutions are embarrassing, and they're embarrassed by "red state America" even though Wilson said "it's all we've got right now." This is about their pseudo-intellectual veneer and also has to do with classism and stereotypes about red state rednecks. It's all of a piece. They think they're better than the rest of the Christian Right and are heirs to some great Christian culture that they're going to rebuild by reconstructing all of life under "God's law." All of this is why they dovetail so easily with IDW people and racist defenders of "Western civilization.""
Jeff Eaton looks at content modeling two ways, both the traditional boxes-and-arrows way and the title-case Content Modeling way. Thinking about how you'll structure and organize your content will always be important. But the real power of content modeling emerges when it rises to a higher level and accounts for the shared understanding the people across your organization have of your content. Jeff calls this more sophisticated approach "The Content Model." https://ellessmedia.com/csi/jeff-eaton/

Jeff calls this more sophisticated approach "The Content Model."

Whether he's fixing problems with CMS architecture or editorial workflow, his solutions sit in the overlap between design, communications, and technology. Jeff's website is eaton.fyi.

Video Here's the video version of our conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWTF0kn5nhk Podcast intro transcript This is the Content Strategy Insights podcast, episode number 100. You can look at any organization's content through two lenses: either as a fairly simple body of work which you can contain in boxes and connect with arrows, or as a complex and nuanced ecosystem that shows the shared understanding of your content across your organization. Jeff Eaton finds value in both approaches to content modeling, but his most impactful work always includes a rigorous and robust accounting of the systems that drive the content. Interview transcript Larry: Hi, everyone. Welcome to episode number 100 of the Content Strategy Insights Podcast. I'm really happy today to have with us Jeff Eaton. Jeff is a partner at Autogram, the legendary new digital agency along with Ethan Marcotte and Karen McGrane. But welcome Jeff, tell the folks a little bit more about what you're up to at Autogram. Jeff: Well, it's a pleasure to be here, especially for the monumental 100th episode, the entry into triple digits. So at Autogram, we're basically a consultancy agency. We focus on organizations that are building and maintaining complex content systems, communications oriented systems, and are facing challenges both with their governance models, how to transition from a rigid template-oriented approach to a more fluid compositional approach, and how to grapple with questions like transitions to decoupled and headless approaches and omni-channel and multi-channel stuff, and the role of design systems and what they're doing, that cluster of interrelated concerns is something that we've found as very rarely being dealt with holistically. But you start talking on one of them and yeah, the sweater starts unraveling and you find out that they're all related. Larry: No, the way you just said that and it's not like they're buzzwords, those are actual things happening in the discipline . . . to handle content, right? Yeah. We were talking before we went on the air and we were getting a little worried, this could go forever, but today we're going to focus this part of the conversation on...

In this episode, we chat with digital strategist Jeff Eaton about the difficulty of picking the right metric, how we determine our values, and his new company, Autogram.
Orchestrating the strategy, design, and software work that comes with enterprise-scale digital projects is a complex and painstaking mission. It's hard to imagine a team better equipped to take on these challenges than the founders of Autogram. Karen McGrane, Ethan Marcotte, and Jeff Eaton have each mastered huge swaths of digital business practice. Karen built the venerable UX and content practices at Razorfish and has arguably done more enterprise content strategy work than anyone else on the planet. It's hard to find a content strategist who doesn't cite her as a mentor or source of inspiration. Ethan introduced the now-ubiquitous practice of responsive web design ten years ago. He's working now to develop a holistic approach to creating design systems. Jeff is an accomplished web developer and content management systems expert who has guided the content strategy for many of the largest sites on the web. Together they help digital teams collaborate more effectively. https://ellessmedia.com/csi/autogram/

What is the difference between discipleship that adds and discipleship that multiplies while living out the Kingdom? If each Christian has received the call of the Great Commission, which is to make disciples, can each of us answer yes to that question? That call is to each parent, each friend, each neighbor, and each individual regardless of vocation, country or economic status to replicate their faith in others. Is discipleship on your church's "menu?"
In John 14:12 Jesus says those who believe in Him will do greater things! Is that true of your life? Or have wounds and emotional lies stunted your spiritual growth and missional living? Some damaging experiences are intentional and others are seemingly random. But are you living free? Listen as my good friend Jeff "big country" Eaton jump in deep to understand soul care.

As we compared notes and spoke of past hunts and hunts to come, I mentioned that I had enough bonus points to draw an Iowa whitetail tag. He immediately informed me he had been guiding in Iowa for several years. That is how I first met Jeff Eaton from Timberghost Ranch. Like a lot of hunters, I had heard about Timberghost; and like a lot of hunters, I thought they were only a high fence operation. Jeff explained that while a part of their operation is a high fence preserve, they also run a completely free-range hunting operation. The more we talked, the more intrigued I became.

Account Manager and Podcaster extraordinaire chatted with dozens of folks at DrupalCon in New Orleans last week to get a sense of what made the show special for them. This week's Secret Sauce is a collection of those highlights. Some shared specifics on something they learned at a session they attended, otherwise talked about the community or trends in the Drupal marketplace, and much more. With DrupalCon last week, we missed our long-form, but stay tuned for that and more short-form podcasts in the weeks to come. And as always, thanks for listening! TRANSCRIPT Allison Manley [AM]: Hi, and welcome to the Secret Sauce, brought to you by Palantir.net. This is our short weekly podcast where we offer a quick tip on some small thing you can do to help your business run better. But . . . today we’re going to switch up a little bit. Last week, a number of us from Palantir and a larger number of all of us from the Drupal community were in New Orleans last week for DrupalCon 2016. So we decided to go around the room and ask everyone that they thought the best takeaway or the best thing from DrupalCon 2016 was for them. So this is a compilation of all the people I ran into randomly and got them to tell me what they thought was the best thing about DrupalCon 2016 Allison Manley [AM]: Alright, Justin McGregor of Rhodes College . . . what is your favorite thing about this year’s DrupalCon? Justin McGregor: Oh my goodness. I was actually just in a wonderful session on personalization, about an hour ago. Personalization in Drupal, and specifically they covered a lot of modules in Drupal 7. And that’s been a goal for us early on was to work some content personalization into the site. But the great thing about a Con like this as opposed to some of the other conferences I’ve been to is just how approachable the speakers are after the fact. People go up, grab somebody as they’re coming off stage, or see them at the booth later, and really talk through the implications of some of what I’m working on . . . because everybody’s use case is different, right? And so to be able to talk through with somebody a problem like that based on a presentation you’ve just heard . . . it’s a fantastic thing to be able to do, and not all conferences allow you to do that. Dave: My name’s Dave from Glendale Community College in Arizona. And my favorite thing about DrupalCon so far is I like interacting with all the vendors, and getting to meet all the cool people, and see all the neat things that they offer. David: I’m David from Pantheon. My favorite thing about DrupalCon this year was all the amazing people, and the amazing parties The Pantheon party was amazing. I’m saying amazing a lot, and I’m aware of that. But that’s amazing too. Shelley Hutchins: My name is Shelley Hutchins from MediaCurrent. My favorite thing about DrupalCon is just being on the exhibition floor and getting to talk to so many members of the Drupal community. Chaz Chumley: Chaz Chumley, Technical Architect for ForumOne, author for Packt Publishing “Drupal 8 Theming with Twig” book. My favorite thing is this gentleman right here, who is one of the most awesome pre-keynote putter-together singers, dancers, and who looks really sexy in lamé and tights and whatever else he decides to put on for the keynote. Campbell Vertesi: I don’t know whether to be flattered or feel awkward about that [laughs]. But I’ll be in the bar later. My name is Campbell Vertesi “ohthehugemanatee,” and every DrupalCon I get to get up and sing, and dance and wear gold lamé. So that one’s not special about this DrupalCon, I think my favorite thing about this DrupalCon is how much more visible the Indian community is. Because the Indian Drupal community are “jump in with both feet” kind of people . . . if there’s a party, if there is a dance, if there is something to code, if there is a totally new API . . . every single one of them that I’ve met will just leap in with both feet and try it out. And it is so much fun. Stephen Lucero: My name is Stephen Lucero, Solutions Architect with Media Current. “Slucero” is my tag. My favorite part has been getting to meet up with the community, meeting up with people that I didn’t realize I needed to reconnect with. So it’s been great to be able to do so, and then be able to meet up with them and go and see a giant float burn with a flamethrower. That was pretty awesome. Adam Erickson: Adam Erickson with August Ash. I’m a Lead Developer. Favorite thing about DrupalCon would be the community, and how everybody gets together. It’s extremely impressive and motivating. That’s the thing I love about it most. Shawn Haukaas: My name’s Shawn Haukaas, I’m President of August Ash. We do Drupal development in Minneapolis. And I’m always impressed by the passion of the people that come. So wheher you’re a site builder, a developer, a designer, or a project manager, or an owner . . . at any level there’s passion for Drupal, which is something that’s pretty impressive. I work in a lot of different platforms and things within the business community around, and it’s very rare to see what we see in Drupal. Kevin: Hi, I’m Kevin. I’m from Dallas, Texas. I work for a company called [audio issue] as a web developer. The best thing about DrupalCon is getting to interact with other guys and other developers, and learning about what’s new in Drupal 8. It’s been a good experience so far. Sunny: Hi my name is Sunny Shah, I’m from Dallas too. I’m the president of a company called Voltage Net, we are a start-up. I’ve been coming here since . . . this is my third time at DrupalCon. It’s just great to meet all the people working on Drupal, learn about what’s happening in Drupal 8 and what’s coming next, and just to communicate and collaborate with everyone. I think that’s the main reason. Erik Paxton: I’m Erik Paxton. I’m with ThinkShout, and my favorite thing about DrupalCon so far has been the front-end sessions so far, I think. It’s nice to see the direction of the decoupled Drupal, and where that’s going. Mike Shaver: My name is Mike Shaver. I work for ThinkShout as well. I think my favorite thing has been connecting with other developers and other folks in the Drupal community that I’ve been in contact with over the years. Edward Pritchard: My name is Edward Pritchard. I’m with the Maricopa Corporate College. And the best thing I like about DrupalCon is being able to run the front-end track and learn all about front-end design, which I’m gearing towards. Scott Worthington: Hi my name is Scott Worthington. I work at Estrella Mountain Community College in Phoenix, and my favorite thing about DrupalCon is catching up with all my fellow Drupalistas. Valery Chen: Hi my name is Valery, and my favorite thing about DrupalCon is learning all the new skills out there, and meeting people. Kristoff Van Tomme: This is Kristoff Van Tomme from Pronovix. And this DrupalCon was really different because of the city. New Orleans is simply really amazing. The food is very different from usual US fare. Yeah. It’s interesting. Good con. Joe Purcell: I’m Joe Purcell. I work at Digital Bridge in Chicago. And my favorite thing about DrupalCon 2016 is seeing lots of familiar faces, and there are lots of exciting things happening in Drupal 8. Dwayne McDaniel: My name is Dwayne McDaniel. I am with Pantheon. My favorite thing about DrupalCon New Orleans 2016 It think is just the positive energy about this show. This is my fourth DrupalCon, and the DriesNote kicked things off in such a wonderful light, and every conversation i have is filled with this excitement about what we’re going to do next, not “when will it happen.” That positivity has flowed through everything: through all the parties, the dinners, all the conversations, the sessions I’ve attended. If I’d say there’s one word that sums this thing up it’s positivity, and it’s the best DrupalCon yet. Nancy Flowers-Mangs: Nancy Flowers-Mangs, and I’m from Yale University, and my favorite thing about DrupalCon is the networking. Jason Pamental: Hi, I’m Jason Pamentel. I’m the Senior Director of Design and Technical Strategy at Isovera in Waltham, Massachusetts. And so far my favorite thing about DrupalCon New Orleans was Sara [Wachter-Boettcher]’s keynote yesterday. Absolutely blew me away in every possible way. Fantastic. Tasha Cherry: Tasha Cherry, and I’m from the University of Virginia. And I think one of the coolest things that I’m hearing from the conference is just how accessibility is going to be so much easier using Drupal 8. That’s what I’m excited about. Because we’re implementing more accessibility into our designs and things like that, and it’s more crucial to just our operations now. So that will help a whole lot. So things will be automatically built in as opposed to trying to convince people to do it right away. Sam Boyer: I’m Sam Boyer from Tag1 Consulting. My favorite thing about DrupalCon 2016 is shrimp and grits. Larry Garfield: I’m Larry Garfield with Platform.sh. Best part of this DrupalCon was Dries laying out actual plans that make sense, and might actually be achievable, which is great! Seth Brown: I’m Seth from Lullabot, and my favorite part of DrupalCon New Orleans has been the renewed vigor and energy now that Drupal 8 is actually out. I feel like our team is thrilled with the sessions. Everybody is kind of excited to dive back in It feels like Drupal, you know, around circa Chicago, everybody is excited again. So I think it’s a huge win for us to have Drupal 8 out. Morton DK: Hi. Morton DK here, out of Copenhagen, Denmark. I work for Geek Royale and Tag1 Consulting. My favorite about this DrupalCon in NOLA has been to see the front end community and back end developers coming together on a simple alignment so we can push our code forward and make a pretty amazing product in Drupal 8. Michelle Krejci: My name’s Michelle Krejci from Pantheon. The best thing about DrupalCon was just conversations with everyone. Roy: My name is Roy. I’m from the Netherlands. I’m a user experience designer. And the best thing I saw at DrupalCon New Orleans was that from the DriesNote to the different core conversations we had, I can see that people are not burned out on Drupal 8, but people are seeing the opportunities for Drupal 8 moving forward, and that was really inspiring. UX is a big part of that, and I’m hoping to do more and more of that in the coming months. [Sounds from Trivia Night, with Jeff Eaton hosting] Todd Jamieson: My name is Todd Jamieson, I’m from Boston. I work at MIT. I support web development and project management for our internet presence at MIT for Career Services. And my favorite thing at Drupalcon . . . oh there was a lot. I think it was a use case by the Sierra Club. I was very skeptical going in, and by the end of the presentation it totally nailed exactly some of the things I’m dealing with at my office. I loved it. Erik Peterson: My name is Erik Peterson. I work for RiffTrax in San Diego, from the guys that brought you Mystery Science Theater 3000. My favorite part of DrupalCon 2016 in New Orleans was . . . besides Emeril’s Restaurant . . . has to have been the Drupal 8 Kickstart panel, and the deluge of information that gave me what I needed to know to get started developing for D8. Drew Gorton: My name is Drew Gorton. The best thing about DrupalCon 2016 is the people. Jeff Eaton: Hi, my name is Jeff Eaton. I’m a Digital Strategist for Lullabot, and I think one of the best things about DrupalCon for me this year was the number of people that I was able to talk to and meet who talked about how much of an impact Drupal has had on their lives and their careers over the past decade. As Drupal has aged and grown, the number of people in our community who have really impressive stories about what it’s meant to them has grown with it. And I think that’s really encouraging, and really really really exciting. AM: It really really really is! And since it was my first DrupalCon, I thought it was terrific. And we will be back next week with our usual Secret Sauce, but I hoped you enjoyed this little special edition.

After months of work, I've launched a new website for The Web Ahead, at thewebahead.net. Hear a saga of the agony, the ecstasy, the design and the build. How? Why? On what? A lot of geeking out about tech and design and some talk about future plans, too. The inimitable Jeff Eaton switches seats and interviews me, Jen Simmons, all about it.
Jeff Eaton is the singer of landmark hardcore band Modern Life is War. He also moonlights as a dj using the moniker DJ Eight Ten. Since the turn of the century, MLIW has become an icon in underground circuits worldwide for their cutting, aggressive, punk & hardcore influenced music and their volatile live performances. Under DJ Eight Ten, Jeff has made his monthly dance/soul/funk parties become a Des Moines nightlife destination. We sit down for in depth chat about all things MLIW, the up and downs the band has had over the years from break ups to their much anticipated return last year, his humble beginnings and punk influences growing up in Marshalltown, moving around in his adult life, being a dj, reflecting about his somewhat controversial comments regarding the Ferguson, Mo situation, and a boat load more.
Jeff Eaton is a Senior Digital Strategist at Lullabot, one of the premiere agencies specializing in Drupal customization and development. Jeff carefully, clearly, and expertly talks through the Drupal landscape with insights of someone with nearly a decade of experience working on the system.
Architecting how content is structured, collected, and presented are three distinct aspects of designing a web project. Jeff Eaton joins Jen Simmons to talk about how to think through it all.
One afternoon the vocalist of Modern Life Is War, Jeff Eaton, and I spoke at length about small town living, reflection and reunions. We spoke before their appearance at the 2013 edition of This Is Hardcore. It's a very honest and reflective chat about many different issues that I hope you enjoy.
