Summer is great for family camping and it is a great time for Drupal Camps. We're pleased to have sponsored or volunteered at four recent camps in our area: <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/236063">Drupal Camp NYC 11</a>, <a href="http://www.drupaldelphia.com/">Drupaldelphia</a>, <a href="http://www.nyccamp.org/">NYC Camp</a> and <a href="http://capitalcamp.org/">Capital Camp</a>. Before the end of the year we'll participate in another half dozen.

<p>Members of the Drupal community have agreed that Drupal's codebase should adhere to a set of coding standards because standardization helps makes the code more readable. It also makes it easier for developers to understand and to edit each other's code. </p>
