<h2>2️⃣ Contributed modules documentation page and Recipes Cookbook page set up. Please feel free to add documentation and publicly available recipes so we can all learn from each other.</h2>

<h2>3️⃣ Is there anyone who could recap any recipes related things from DrupalCon Lille?</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Tim Lehnen</td>
<td>I was all over the place in Lille, but not super close to the Recipes related stuff, however, I remember several people talking about it, and doing some things in the contrib area, so I hope someone will chime in.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>There was not a lot of specific recipe work. There was one session that mentioned recipes in the title - <a href="https://events.drupal.org/lille2023/session/zero-multilingual-nextjs-site-powered-next-drupal-and-drupal-recipes-one-command">https://events.drupal.org/lille2023/session/zero-multilingual-nextjs-site-powered-next-drupal-and-drupal-recipes-one-command</a></td>

<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>There was work on config validation and I worked on being able to uninstall install profiles.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>what would uninstalling an install profile look like?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>I’m kind of having trouble even wrapping my brain around the concept</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>Not having the module enabled and \Drupal::installProfile() not returning a module name.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>so then… it’s not going to affect any of the config the profile provided?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>Not at all.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>so, technically, ok I understand. It does sound like a way to really bork a site though</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>why would we want that feature? so we can migrate to another profile?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>Because this has actually happened on many sites where the install profile goes missing and Drupal has code to mark a module as uninstalled when this happens.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>interesting!</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>Being able to uninstall standard would be a big win for many because then their site becomes installable from config</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>I guess I’ve almost always been the sole proprietor of all my install profiles, so I’ve never experienced that</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>Many people run into a bug due to standard install creating content entities during an install.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>so then… in that case they just would have no profile at all?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>Yes.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>Which should be fine.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>and that would sort the “create this site from this pile of config” problem?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>In terms of Standard yes.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>In terms of borking your site - we check that the install profile does not provide any modules you’ve got installed. If it does you are prevented from uninstalling.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>assume the code was all there, would that also then pick up a particular install profile if that were part of the core.extension.yml file?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>ahh right so like if I have /profiles/foo/module/bar then if I’m using bar module, I cannot uninstall</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>assume the code was all there, would that also then pick up a particular install profile if that were part of the core.extension.yml file?I don’t understand the question.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>core.extension.yml says “use foo profile” and I have the code for foo profile in my code base.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>You’ll only use the code from foo profile if it is an installed module. This is coupled to the profile key that is in core.extension too. But code loading only happens for installed modules.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>I don’t have a use case for this, it was a curiosity mostly</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>The profile key doesn’t really do too much to site once the site is installed.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>I’ll poke at it once you’ve got it to a state where that might even be a thing</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>sounds interesting. It also sounds somewhat antithetical to how I typically think about/use profiles, but… fixing interactions with Standard/Minimal that people often have would be great</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>This is a v old issue - <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-7"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/1170362" title="Status: Closed (fixed)">#1170362: Install profile is disabled for lots of different reasons and core doesn't allow for that</a></span> - been working on it on and off for a while… it was close a year ago 🙂</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>does that mean there might be a “none” option for profile when installing Drupal?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>does that mean there might be a “none” option for profile when installing Drupal?I don’t think so</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>But there is the ability to install from config already. Plus maybe it some far future none + select a load of recipes might be I guess. But it’s not something I particularly care about right now.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>fair enough</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>I mean, to a certain degree “Minimal” is basically what none should be.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>especially if minimal.profile doesn’t exist or does nothing.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>yeah, doesn’t exist… so that’s a good start</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alex Pott</td>
<td>Here’s an example of problems people have with the standard profile - <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-7"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2583113" title="Status: Closed (fixed)">#2583113: Config import from a different site fails because of shortcut.set.default.yml</a></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>yeah, I think I filed the original version of this problem very very early in the D8 cycle</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>eclipsegc</td>
<td>I just wasn’t aware they were related to standard profile</td>

<h2>4️⃣ Submissions for DrupalCon Portland end next week. Should I submit another session? Or does anyone have any other ideas?</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Tim Lehnen</td>
<td>I think it would be great to have one. I know we won't full know what it will contain just yet, but I imagine we'll have updates.It could even include a portion that is the Recipes 'Cooking show' showing off some cookbook entries 🙂</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Laura Johnson</td>
<td>I was thinking it would be fun to have a “Let’s Build A Recipe” workshop. Is anyone doing that already?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jim Birch</td>
<td>I don't think anyone else besides me has submitted. At least they didn't post about it.I submitted a general initiative update.<a href="https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C2THUBAVA/p1698413890354209">https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C2THUBAVA/p1698413890354209</a></td>

<td>I think aa workshop would be a cool thing!</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Laura Johnson</td>
<td>Agreed! If you are interested in doing it I would be happy to help you with the details (and could also help you run it) or if not, would you be okay with me putting a proposal together? In which case I would be very happy to have your input!</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Laura Johnson</td>
<td>Or if you would rather take it and run with it by yourself that’s fine with me… I just think it could be a popular one and let people get their hands dirty</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jim Birch</td>
<td>I would be more than happy to support you!</td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td>Awesome, thanks! :awesome:I’ll try to put something together in the next couple of days and will run it past you to get your thoughts if that’s okay.</td>

<td>Would you have this logic of order when applying recipes?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Rajab Natshah</td>
<td>By the way I had a wrong order the week before, but it did not work, we had to re-order tasks on install.I guess it will be the same order after installUser roles were sat and readyEnabled modules were sat tooRecipes can add permissions at this point.Recipes can add/update structures like ( views, content type ) and let them use the permission in the updated config. (edited)</td>

<td>Rajab Natshah</td>
<td>Doing more experiments on that in the next weeks.</td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td>ideally the order would be determined by dependencies</td>
</tr>
