Drupal 7 release parties and December sprints
GVS has had a busy December and great start to 2011!
NYC and Denver Drupal 7 release parties
The NYC Drupal 7 Launch Party, hosted by Growing Venture Solutions, Treehouse Agency, and ThinkDrop took place on January 7, 2011.
We were delighted at the turnout and enthusiasm for Drupal 7!
The speakers were Rob Purdie (Economist), Todd Ricker (New York Stock Exchange) and Thomas Turnbull (Zagat). The organizers were Lisa Rex, Claudina Sarahe, Ezra Gildesgame, Amy Cham and Ben Jeavons.
We did a video link up with the Boston party. Oh look, it's Dries Buytaert!
And then we did a video link up with the Denver and Austin parties. Everyone say hi to Greggles and Kevin Bridges!
And Jacob Redding wore his Drupal suit and tie!
We gave away raffle prizes from Lullabot, Packt Publishing and Mastering Drupal, and there was some additional sponsorship support from CivicActions and Bluestocking Collective.
The official photographer for the NYC Drupal 7 party was Matt Cham. Additional d7rp_nyc party photos are on Flickr.
GVS also co-hosted the Denver party, with Greg Knaddison in attendance. The next three photos are by Keith Stansell.

GVS <3 sprints
GVS and Treehouse sponsored a D7CX code sprint at the offices of GVS neighbor HUGE in Brooklyn, NY.
Progress made at the sprint included working automated tests for the Nodequeue module, a stable Drupal 7 release of the Security review module, amongst other work.

Meanwhile, Lisa participated in the Drupal Docs sprint weekend in Vancouver where the core documentation team hashed out directions and problems the Docs team face (see issues tagged docsyvr2010 for things that were raised during the meeting). On Saturday, there was a Docs team sprint with special guests chx, dmitrig01, and webchick!
