This week in Web Dev Rev notes: Drupal 6 end of life was February 24, though it received a final release fixing known vulnerabilities; the same vulnerabilities document is referenced for the new Drupal 7.43 release, which will be on all of our servers by the morning of March 1st; drupal.org is upgrading their PHP to 5.4; drupal.org updated their contributing organizations page, and the University of Waterloo was in the top 50 (we have since slipped to the second page); with that in mind, we wanted to remind people about Drupal's contributor tasks - you can contribute to Drupal without having to necessarily write code (and if you set your drupal.org profile to show you work for the University, we'll get credit for your work); the DrupalCon New Orleans session submission deadline was fast approaching, and while it's unlikely that the WCMS will officially send any attendees, the list of tracks is very interesting; a company called "Howdy" has released a Botkit that is supposed to make building Slack Bots easy; and finally, Flexbugs is an interesting GitHub repo keeping track of issues with FlexBox implementations in various browsers, and ways to work around them.
