Learn about how http://fosterinteractive.com used Drupal 8 to relaunch the new http://DWW.com.

Highlights of the project include including migrating ~2500 articles from a legacy wordpress site, using schema.org to improve SEO, improving social reach with a custom hootsuite.com feed, and simplified the distribution of the firm’s bi-monthly email newsletter.

The inaugural Drupal North Regional Summit website was built by website sponsor Foster Interactive with Drupal 8. The website was produced on betas 6-10 with a multilingual component.

English: drupalnorth.org
French: drupalnorth.org/fr

The organizers wanted to make a bold statement about our region's talent and decided to launch the annual summit with a Drupal 8 theme and a multilingual Drupal 8 website.

We've got several events on the schedule, leading up to the end of the year. Check them out on Meetup.com: http://www.meetup.com/dug-to/

I recently posted a case study on our competition entry FringeFest.ca, for the Apps4Edmonton competition that made use of Drupal, Appcelerator Titanium and Mobile Webkit to create a web app, iphone app and smartphone friendly version of the web app using Open Data made available by the City of Edmonton.

Key modules include: Services, Feeds, JSON Server, Views, Location and more detailed in the case study

Planning is underway for the third annual Drupal Camp Alberta. We've got some big changes planned for this year, most notably a move to Calgary for this summer's event.

If you would like to be involved in planning for this year's event, let me know here and I'll make sure we include you in the process.

This looks like a great project. If anyone knows the developers or someone who is involved with the site, then a meetup around the site would be a great way to get everyone together.

Glad to see that there is now a Drupal Group for National/Federal & State/Province Drupal installs as well as the previous one for Local Governments. I had tried to set up a general Government Group, but for some reason at the time it was rejected.
