Our first Drupal 8 Play Date went so well, we've scheduled another (and are considering even more, if there is sufficient interest).
November 7th will mark the one-month anniversary of the first official Release Candidate for Drupal 8.
It's time to start experimenting with Drupal 8, porting modules, and finding bugs that need to be fixed before the official release.
This will be a great opportunity for beginners and advanced coders alike to get an introduction to Drupal 8 and start setting up a site of their own.
