Agenda
DRUPAL 8: WHY YOU’LL THINK IT’S AWESOME — a live presentation
Drupal 8 is currently in beta, meaning a final release is coming soon…ish! There’s no better time to get a head start and prepare for its inevitable launch. Learn about the great new features that will benefit content administrators, themers, site builders and developers. You’ll also learn how you can help Drupal 8 reach a final release.
Chris Luckhardt is a Toronto-based Drupal Specialist. He has worked with Drupal for almost 7 years and currently focuses on site building, dev-ops, front-end development, and agile project management. He provides leadership and event organizational time to the Toronto Drupal User Group community and gives presentations around the world focusing on the upcoming release of Drupal 8. Chris was recently profiled by the Drupal Association as a Drupal Master in their Drupal Personas series.
Special thanks to members Eric Scoles and Nick Garofalo for wrangling the venue, and to Chris Luckhardt for participating in this big-impact meetup!
