Hi Folks! This last month I proposed that we add a segment to our meeting called 'The month in 5', where someone in the group preps a quick summary of the last month in the Drupal world (quick, like 5 minutes or less) so we can all at least rely on not missing the big Drupal news. It took me about a half hour to prep the overview for this last month, and was actually pretty cool because I got to get a feel for what was going on myself. I'll go ahead and tackle this when no one else will, but it seems like hearing from different members of the group would be great, so I'm looking for volunteers for upcoming months.
