Thanks to the leadership of Allie Micka and R.J. Steinert, the Snowball initiative to provide tools for coordinating and funding Drupal initiatives is coming to the Boston area this long weekend for its first code sprint.

We'll be working on Friday November 11th, Saturday the 12th, and Sunday the 13th starting at 10am on Friday and no later than that on the weekend days in Somerville, Massachusetts.
If you can dive into helping build this, contact rjstatic or contact mlncn for directions to the venue.

We can either take a break for August, or someone else can jump in and schedule the meetup this month. Either way is fine with me! See you in September...

New Meetup? Looking for a local partner...
Hey, FOlks.
I'm moving to St Johnsbury VT in August - about an hour and 15 minutes north of you. I'd like to attend your next meetup, or host one myself in September.
I'd be glad to offer a presentation on using Open Atrium for project management, or on JCarousel for slideshows, or on Views with Nodequeues, or on fine-tuning notifications. These are all things I've been enjoying lately.
