Agaric Show and Tell - Presenting things we know!
Agaric is a worker owned cooperative of developers using Drupal. We have been taking time at our weekly meeting to share knowledge with one another about things we have learned or done. We soon realized that this may be of interest to a larger group than ourselves. Therefore, we started inviting some partners, students, and other developers we know to take part in watching or giving short presentations. Now a few people each week share things they know too, and it is getting to be really fun and informative. So we would like to invite everyone!

New England Drupalcamp is now NEDcamp.
There have been recent conversations concerning the acronym for New England Drupalcamp, and our goals for the camp. The intent has always been to create an event that promotes a greater sense of community amongst Drupal users across New England. However, we learned recently that we were jeopardizing the same sense of community we were hoping to foster with our old acronym. After listening to the concerns put forth by community members, it was time for a change.
Moving forward, New England Drupalcamp is to be known as NEDcamp.

Boston Drupal Group Changes Proposal
For those of you who were (or were not) at the Boston Drupal Meetup last night, here is a link to my presentation on proposals of changes to our meetups.
https://bit.ly/bosdrupalproposal
The purpose of this proposal was to jump start a discussion on what improvements we could implement to make the meetups more useful for everyone. Which I think it accomplished based on the discussions that were sparked last night.
Ed should be posting videos of the meetup, which could be helpful in hearing the discussions we had.
Let's continue the discussions. What are peoples thoughts?
