A big thank you to Roberto and Izzy for doing lightning talks:
• Roberto did a short talk on Stylizer, a CSS editor that speeds up your CSS theming. See www.skybound.ca
• Izzy did a short demo of QuickStart – the Linux Drupal Development Environment. This is worth checking out. Especially for Windows users, since Drush does not work on Windows. http://drupal.org/project/quickstart
