Postponed: Harrisburg Meetup - September
Hi All,
It is that time again for a meetup. This meetup we decided everyone needs to bring a module or two they found useful. The idea is we can showcase them. Please pick something off the beaten path. (ie. don't pick views).
Please post what module(s) you plan on bringing to the table so we don't have overlap.
Look forward to seeing everyone. Don't forget to signup.

Hi All,
Wanted to thank chertzog for giving us a great demonstration of Alpha -> Omega.
As I said in the meeting, for now I can only commit to every other month. If we gain more interest and someone is willing to co-organize we can move to a monthly meeting. Keeping with a cycle of Beginner/Intermediate topics to Advance topics, I am going to cover Drush Makefiles and some of our basic git workflow.
Look forward to seeing everyone. Don't forget to signup.

Read moreForming a Drupal in Higher Edu Consortium
I've been having a conversation via email with a bunch of higher EDU drupal developers which I'm sick of just talking about so let's make it happen: A Drupal in Higher Education Consortium. The goal of this isn't some kind of bloated, formal relationship but instead a series of lightweight tools across different websites (this one included) in order to help each other through problems we face.
Read moreInstructional Content Management System Alpha 4 Distribution Released!
Today we released a new version of ELMS which starts to branch it out into our vision of 3 separate distributions for education. https://elms.psu.edu/ Has all the details and has been completely redone around our new UI for the system. Many of the issues from Alpha 3 have been resolved but this is a fundamentally different system in just about every way. The focus is still on course content but the instructional designer administrative layer helps set the stage that other educational distributions can be built off of.

Congratulations people! We're way out ahead of the other CMSs out there right now in the .edu domain space. This is great news for all of us who build sites in higher education! Keep up the great work everyone and make sure to spread the word! If trends are anything like I've witnessed @ Penn State, adoption from distributions is about to ramp up dramatically in the coming months / years.

Elms Alpha 3 Distro released
ELMS Alpha 3 Distribution was released today. I also shot a bunch of tutorial videos, cleaned up the issue queue on d.o., added some new known issues, and put the platform out there. If you liked what you saw in alpha 2, alpha 3 will hopefully blow you away. If you didn't like what you saw, alpha 3 will hopefully blow you away too ;)!

I wanted to announce here that a Public demo of the new version of ELMS (Alpha 3) can now be accessed at the following address: http://demo.elms.psu.edu/
Alpha 3 is still slated to be released by the end of the March but I wanted to get a demo out ahead of that for some additional feedback. Also, I felt the need to provide some optimism as a reaction to this post in the higher education group.
