Our next WMass Drupal Group meeting will be Thursday, December 15, 4pm
at Last Call Media:
136 West St., Suite 01 in Northampton, MA.

Partly due to a conflict later in the day, trying something different where we start early and do a "work together" session for an hour or two, answering each others questions that we might have - so come work and bring questions.
If there are no questions, we can dive into this agenda topic:
Desktop environment comparison: MAMP, WAMP, Acquia, Kalabox, Vagrant, Docker, Other?
...or anything else folks want to talk about.
