Drupal Console
Chris Luckhardt (https://www.drupal.org/u/chris-luckhardt) will demonstrate Drupal Console, a suite of tools that you run on a command line interface (CLI) to generate boilerplate code and interact with a Drupal 8 installation.

Services Module, from 0 to Holy Crap we got a RESTful API
Pierre Marcel (https://www.drupal.org/u/pierre_m) will demonstrate how to set up a RESTful API to allow mobile apps to connect, create users, create content, view private and public data via a native IOS and Android app.

Migrating Into Drupal 8
Ryan Weal (https://www.drupal.org/u/ryan-weal) will demonstrate Drupal 8's new built-in features for migrating from your Drupal 6 and Drupal 7 websites. (We ran out of time last month for this presentation so it's rescheduled for this meetup.)

Panel Discussion: Drupal-Specific Hosting
Colan Schwartz (https://www.drupal.org/u/colan), Aidan Foster (https://www.drupal.org/u/afoster), Andrew Fountain (https://www.drupal.org/u/andrewfn) & Chris Luckhardt (https://www.drupal.org/u/chris-luckhardt) will host a panel discussion about Drupal specific hosting.

General Q&A
Depending on our remaining time, we'll open up the floor for a general question and answer session. All questions are welcome!

The formal part of the meetup ends at 9:00pm, then we head out for drinks and more Drupal conversation at a local pub.
