Drupal has always been very strong at customizing user experiences for authenticated users, but what about anonymous users? What if you wanted to show a new banner block on your home page for first time visitors? Or gate a resource until users have filled out a contact form? For the most part, anonymous user display is determined by the URL path, and per-user customization is dependent on excluding the page from cache, custom Javascript or third parties. In this session, we’ll introduce the Smart Content contributed suite of modules.

Fresh off the heels of DrupalCon Seattle, this month's meetup will focus on the Con itself. What were the highlights, what sessions were our favorites, and what are the take aways for the direction of Drupal. The goal is to allow those who couldn't attend to get in the loop, perhaps bookmark some recorded sessions to go back and watch. Depending on time, we may try to watch part or some of them as well (including the Dries-note).
