Hi everybody,
I was scheduled to give a presentation on Getting Started with Drush for the next meeting on June 25. However, that meetup is the night before the deadline for a giant project I'm working on. Thus, regrettably, I won't be able to present. I WILL do it for our July meetup (July 30).
This leaves us in the lurch for a presentation. Do any of you want to present something? Are any of you presenting at Drupalcorn and want to practice?

We Have A Presenter
Andrew Koebbe has volunteered to do a talk on SASS, Compass and maybe throw in a bit of Suzy.
I'd also like to talk a bit about hosting and maintenance of small sites. Seems at least two of us are having some amount of difficulty finding the perfect solution to these problems.
Big thanks to Andrew and I hope to see everyone on Tuesday.
