The State of the Aegir: Don't call it a comeback!

The Aegir Hosting System for Drupal has been around for quite a long time, yet has more momentum now than ever.

For those that don't know, Aegir is basically Drupal Hosting, powered by Drupal. It's a Drupal site that creates other Drupal sites. Fun!

Last summer, the maintainers formed the Aegir Cooperative to provide support and drive development forward.

Since then, momentum on the project has increased significantly. 

This presentation will give an overview of the State of Aegir: the code, the community, and the Cooperative.

We will also give a quick demo on how to get Aegir running locally so you can help contribute to it!
