Let's get together and do some more review for the Acquia Certified Front End Specialist Certification exam.
Gregg and Patrick have passed the exam and will be there to answer questions and help.

Won't be able to attend the meetup tonight
I was planning on coming tonight but things are a little crazy at work and I have to work late. I wont be able to make it tonight unfortunately. We've been waiting on some approvals for new site enhancements and its been taking longer than expected today (changes, testing, review feedback, edits, repeat...), so ill be monitoring my email and waiting for the green light to push code. I will definitely be at the next meeting if there is going to be one planned for another study group.
Are we meeting up today?
