Developers for and Vendors to UMass are especially encouraged to attend to learn best practices, development process, and server environment. Also to provide feedback.

This is still very much a work in progress but the topics that I'm looking to cover so far are include:
I'd also love to get feedback from our Drupal developers. We changed the structure of sites and our hosting policies from D6 to D7 and the upcoming move to D8 provides us with a good opportunity to reflect on what's working and what's not.
I'm hoping to keep this both technical and informal. If anyone has any additional topics they would like discussed please post here or email me.

I'll be there....Theme Question
See you then! Hey ... I'm making a site for the UMass Librarians and it would be wonderful if there was already a UMass theme for one of the other drupal sites we could import.
Is there a list of current UMass Department Drupal Sites and their authors someplace?
If not, is there a good default UMass 7.x theme someplace?
Thanks!
