Some LA Drupal members got to attend and speak at Drupalcon Boston 2008 and we'll hear from those folks what they saw, what was cool, what was new, and bits of what they learned at the four day convention.

Patterns and the future of Install Profiles

MikeyLikesIt was more than extatic about the new things called Patterns, which compliments Install Profiles and actually surpasses them. We'll hear what we may be using in the near future.

Where is Groups.Drupal.Org headed and how does this help LA Drupal?

Chris Charlton attended the g.d.o (groups.drupal.org) BoF session and has good news to report about our community portal and talks of a world-wide video simulcast where Drupal user groups from all over would get together online and record a fun online event that hasn't been tried before.
