Drupal 8 version of popular_tags released (keep your vocabularies tight!)
Hi all,
Just wanted to let y'all know that Brooke Heaton and I have just released Drupal 8 version of the popular_tags module. It is very helpful to sites that want to encourage editors to converge upon a smaller set of frequently used tags, rather than a huge set of infrequently used tags.

Best Event Registration Module?
Greetings everyone. Can someone who works on the great FLDRUPALCAMP site tell me the registration module used? Or otherwise advise me on event registration. We are a Florida nonprofit organization and collect donations via paypal. I need to set up registrations for our upcoming 3-day Summit in October in a manner very similar to the way the camp is done. Our website is sjr2c.org.
Thanks for any help you can offer. Missing the Brevard meetups... nothing much happening in Volusia County...

Hey everyone,
We're looking for an additional Drupaler to help us in the Beginner Class at DrupalCon Baltimore:
