Huzzah! The planned release date for Drupal 8.0.0 is November 19th - the same day as our regular November meetup!

Join us to eat, drink and celebrate the future of Drupal! :-)

Of course, the real power of Drupal comes from all the available contributed modules. This means it's now time for developers to start porting their modules to Drupal 8! However, the APIs and conventions for Drupal 8 modules are dramatically different...

Which is why Elliot is going to walk us through the process of converting one of his simple Drupal 7 modules to Drupal 8!

If you're a developer and want to get started with Drupal 8, this is the presentation for you!

(But even for non-developers, this should be an interesting look at the new features and power of Drupal 8. And of course, it'll be a great time to celebrate and learn from other Druplistas!)

The best food at a Meetup!

As always, Steve will bring some amazing home cookin'! We might not be the biggest Meetup, but we have the best food!

Bring your problems & successes:

Are you working on a Drupal site and hit a problem? Bring it to the meetup and we'll try to help you solve it!

Did you just create something awesome with Drupal? Or learn something cool? Show it off during a 5 minute lightning talk.

Hang out and co-work before the event (starting at 3:30pm)!

If you're available before the event, come hang out and co-work with us at Hudson Business Lounge (only a few blocks from C2): 310 E Buffalo St

Basically, we'll all be sitting around working on our own Drupal-related things. This is a great time to ask for in-depth help with something or just see what everyone else is doing with Drupal.
