Monthly Meeting - a2drupal anniversary and theming with 960
Welcome to the end of March! This is the 3rd anniversary for a2Drupal, so I'll try to bring cupcakes to celebrate. If anyone wants to bring anything else to share, that would be nice as well!
Same time (7:00pm), same place (Spark Central, near Liberty and 5th in downtown Ann Arbor). After eating cupcakes, Kendall Totten will be giving an impromptu presentation on theming with the 960 grid system and perhaps a little bit of compare and contrast with the zen theme.
See you there!
