Issue 40 June 21, 2012

This week's issue is a little light on commentary due to my involvement in a local hackethon. I'm in the final week of 59DaysofCode. If you'd like to help a Drupal based project win the People's Choice award, you can text "open" to 559-245-2910 from 9:30am to 4:00pm Pacific time on Saturday 23rd. I'll let you all know how it goes next week.
