Well it happened! DrupalSouth was pretty damn magnificent. Learning was done, fun was had, and the community gathered and did what it does best.
There's been a couple of nice write ups by people who attended.
Thought I'd have a play with a bleeding edge pre alpha 4 development snapshot of Drupal 8. I hit a minor documentation/installation snag. This is probably frustrating for people, so I'm documenting it here in order to later find the right place, right person, right way to report it, and perhaps improve it.
I've nearly finished installing D8! Yay. Now I'm at the "Configure site" stage where I get this helpful message suggesting I ought to consult the "online handbook."
The Drupal Association board has two positions for members elected by the community.
Voting is open now, but only for a couple of days. Voting closes midnight Thursday 19 September 2013.
Don't procrastinate...
Drupal 8 is around the corner! And there's a lot of goodness coming. I wanted some of that goodness now, so I've just updated the theme here to Responsive Bartik so it's now mobile friendly.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
