I started a project to port the Boilerplate theme from Drupal based upon a request from a user. It's a bit of an experiment and I've love to get feedback during this session about:

We had a great VUG today. We had 12 people online for most of the presentation.
Jen Lampton walked us through the process of porting a Drupal 7 module to Backdrop. Her process very much focused on a process to port a D7 module that would make it easier for Drupal 7 sites using that theme to migrate to Backdrop.
We discussed the fact that one might take a very different approach towards porting a theme if the only goal was to make that theme available to new Backdrop sites or for upgraded sites that need an entirely new theme.
