One of the joys of being “an internet person” in the greater Boston area is that there is always more going on than you could possibly actually participate in.
Case in point this very weekend is both IndieWebCamp Cambridge and BarCampBoston 9.

Took advantage of a rare non-travel, non-camp weekend (other than BarCamp Boston 9 planning session) to clean up WPBook and WPBook Lite.
Facebook has changed the way the API is versioned, and new apps made in Facebook are no longer able to call the v1 of the API, use FQL, or other things I was depending on.
So, I’m releasing today new versions of both.
For WPBook Lite, which is the one you have to use if your blog is not accessible via HTTPS, the new version will be 1.6.1.
For WPBook, which enables the Facebook Canvas page in addition to the features of WPBook, the new version will be 2.7
I’ve also tested both with WordPress 4.0 and added plugin icons that WordPress now supports.
As always, please use the WordPress.org support forums for support issues, not comments threads here. Thanks.

September is not looking to a quiet month either:
So much for taking the late summer easy . . .
In the fall, New England Drupal Camp (NEWD Camp) will be November 1st also in Providence, RI.
This week, the Drupal community gathered in Austin for DrupalCon 2014, including the annual “State of Drupal” address from Dries Buytaert. It’s the first North American Drupalcon I’ve missed since Boston in 2008, though thankfully all the presentations at DrupalCon are recorded and made available online. Embedded below are the video and slides for Dries’ State of Drupal address. While I know most folks in the Drupal community will have already watched it, I’d suggest there’s good value in watching it from the perspective of the WordPress community as well.

What can the WordPress community learn from the talk?
