Events
Both SandCamp and Florida DrupalCamp are/were in February this year, so much work went on during January in preparation. Several Mediacurrent folks were planning to both attend and present at these well known and highly regarded events. In March some of us will be attending Stanford DrupalCamp, NERDSummit and MidCamp, so we look forward to seeing you in person!
Until next time
The year has just begun, let's see where we can go!
