Summer of Code projects - Drupal gets 11
Look forward to an announcement next week about our Google Summer of Code students who will be working with us. We're very fortunate that Google has generously sponsored eleven (11) SoC stipends. As you can imagine, this means a lot of coding will get done this summer!
