Thank you to everyone who attended! As discussed (a lot), expect future meet ups to fall back on Mondays or Tuesdays since Friday doesn't work for a lot of people.

Quick recap of the module round robin, we discussed:

search_krumo - a module for searching krumo results in d7
google_analytics - the go to google analytics module, it's caveats, and all of its supporting modules
rabbit_hole - a module for tweaking content rendering dependent on its context
Acquia cloud - using free accounts to spin up quick sites for testing
The NYSenate git account and all it's modules - https://github.com/nysenate - particularly SAGE and the GeoAPI service
Paragraphs - Here is my presentation for the group in 2015 https://youtu.be/gExgVojfj_I

The meeting ran over, but I'm hoping everyone found it useful and enjoyable. Until next time!
