A reminder to all that our meetup is happenning at Acquia's new offices in 2 days. You must RSVP in order to be admitted by building security.
Feel free to come early (4pm or later) for an Acquia's Open House. The meetup will start at 6:30pm.

Free software face
Agaric is working with the Free Software Foundation to make some short videos that will put a visible 'face' on the free software movement.
Next month we will be filming short interviews of developers that use free software in their work (Drupal comes to mind!). We will be inviting you to be a part of the filming that will eventually end up as a documentary on how the Free Software Movement is gaining massive recognition and raising a voice to protect all of our freedoms. I would like to talk a little bit about how this project came to be and what the outcome could mean to us as a community developing free software together!

Lightning Talk: Headless and Passwordless
Headless and passwordless. I have an experiment I'd like to show people involving how I used a Passwordless approach on a Headless Drupal implementation. I'm hoping to get feedback from folks on UX and security concerns.

Fun Lightning Talk
I really enjoyed this concept and the discussion that came from your demo and a peek at the code from your experimental project. Interested in seeing where this goes. Will try the passwordless module on one of my sites! Thanks.
