Bring your laptop – First taste of Drupal 7

In this month’s Drupal meetup, participants will be able to get first hand experience with Drupal 7. Drupal 7 is the most user-friendly version of Drupal yet as a result of tremendous amounts of work overhauling the user interface to create a far more intuitive user experience. Among the goals of this redesign was to minimize the notorious Drupal learning curve and make Drupal site building more accessible to a larger number of people. Bring along your laptops as there will be a pre-configured drupal 7 setup for you to use over the WiFi network.
