I was watching the nightly news tonight when I heard about this alarming story. Apparently, Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff has a gut feeling that America might be attacked this summer. On Tuesday, Michael Chertoff, the secretary of homeland security, told the editorial board of The Chicago Tribune that he had a “gut feeling” about…

Pack your bags, its summer time, and that means time for Drupal Camp! CivicActions will be participating in and sponsoring two upcoming Drupal Camps, one in Seattle (the second annual DrupalCampSeattle on June 29th, and the other in New York City on July 14th.)
