Front page announcement -- Please fill in your stuff!
On Tuesday, July 8 (the day after mid-terms), I want to put a big post on the front-page of Drupal.org that highlights you all and what you're working on. :)
So, please help by filling in the table below with:
- Links to your d.o user profile, g.d.o picture, and project page
- A couple sentences about yourself
- Links for the community to download (required) and demo (optional, but recommended!) your projects.
I filled in the first three students to show an example (feel free to change bios folks; I made some stuff up from the introductions thread).
