April CIDUG Meeting 4-10-2014: Exploring Drupal 8 as a Builder
Drupal 8 has been on the horizon for over a year now. It is currently in alpha and will hopefully be going into beta releases soon. For this meeting we're going to try to build something simple in Drupal 8 just to get a taste of what is coming down the road. There will be bugs. We don't know much about D8 yet, so this might end up being a collaborative demo and learning experience for all.

February CIDUG Meeting 2-13-2014: Module Potluck
One of the biggest strengths of Drupal is the ability to extend and modify its behavior with modules. There are over 8,000 Drupal 7 modules on Drupal.org (14,505 total over all versions)! All of these modules are open source and free for you to use on your Drupal site. If there is a feature you want on your site, chances are someone already wrote a module to help you implement it.

Recently, I was drug deep into Git. Weeks later, i've stumbled out of the woods. I learned a great deal but I'm not sure if I'm wiser. I'll leave that judgment up to you.
