Goals:
- Acquire skills in D8 module & theme development by focusing on solving exercises
- Not a lecture, informal group learning & mentoring
- Side Product = Produce light learning materials so that knowledge sharing is easier

Hey all,

Wondering if we should change things up a bit for Tuesday's (5/17) Drupal 8 Study Group meeting: For those of you who attended DrupalCon, would you be interested in sharing what you learned with the group? Or sharing the notes you took / presentations you felt were memorable / left an impression?

Cheers,
Mai

Hey all!

We just concluded our first set of Drupal 8 study group sessions! Big Thanks to everyone who attended over the 4 weeks, shared all those knowledge goodies and generally kicked butt as a fellow team member :D

It was a very supportive and collaborative environment, and I certainly learned a lot and enjoyed meeting new people and working together.

Since there's been interest in having future study groups, I've created a poll to gather feedback to better understand scheduling / next steps

Also, if you're interested in doing something different, please, please reach out to me. I'm all ears :)
