[WebPub] Dec 4 Drupal Group meetup focused on Dev Desktop

Tue Dec 3 16:18:44 EST 2013

Hello,

Tomorrow's Drupal Group Meetup (Dec 4, 3:30-5pm, 3-442) will focus on the overhauled Dev Desktop from Acquia, which now comes preconfigured with really interesting Drupal distributions (see list below). https://www.acquia.com/downloads. The combination of the Dev Desktop and new distributions is a great way to stay on top of new functionality and modules.

Cheers,
Ed Carlevale
