User group meeting

Only local images are allowed.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.

Thursday, April 10 7p - 9p. Room 8 Curtiss Hall, Iowa State University

LOCATION

We'll be meeting in Room 8, Curtiss Hall at Iowa State University (Google Map: http://g.co/maps/a7pzb ). Construction is now complete and the east entrance to Curtiss hall is now open. If you enter via the east door you will go all the way back, go up one level and turn right until the end of the north wing.

As always, the first hour of the meeting is open discussion/question time. If you have a question, learned something cool, or would like to bounce ideas around with others, please come and share!

Please do sign up so you get a reminder the day before!

See you there!

We got stuck exploring and playing around with some of the new features in D8. There was a nice talk at DrupalCamp St. Louis this weekend that covered a lot of what we went over http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktCgVopf7D0
