Week in DC Tech: August 25 Edition
Fill a Quiet Week with Technology Events
A big chunk of our team is spending the week in Szeged, Hungary at the bi-annual DrupalCon, and all of us have been helping get them out the door with everything they'll need over there (which is why I didn't post on Monday like usual). With a lot of our team out of the office and a lot of the city at the Convention in Denver, the city is feeling empty. Luckily, there are several interesting tech events happening to keep us busy.
