Huge thank you to Lullabot for their complete DVD collection for our group to share. We'll start a resource library and any group members can check them out for free.

Potential ideas for modules for our group to help maintain:
- BelatedPNG
- Token Categories

Congratulations to squaretone on the birth of his baby girl!

How to validate e-mail addresses properly?
For PHP 5.2 and above:

<?php
filter_var($mail, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
?>

Shameless plug from Dave: If you need Drupal 7's pluggable password hashing file (for instance if you want to allow legacy user passwords that do not use Drupal's MD5 password hashing), you can use the Password module (http://drupal.org/project/password).

Learning theming:
- http://drupal.org/theme-guide
- Zen theme
Zen is the ultimate starting theme for Drupal.
http://drupal.org/project/zen
- Semantic Views module
This Views plugin makes unformatted styles, field row styles and other output more readily configurable without needing to override template files. http://drupal.org/project/semanticviews
- Semantic CCK module
http://drupal.org/project/semantic_cck

Save the date for the 2nd week in March for DrupalCon Chicago 2011.
