Issue 329

DevFest North America is happening today and tomorrow, I'm speaking tomorrow with a heavily updated version of my talk on what's new in CSS. Heavily updated, because there is so much new stuff to talk about. I think you can still sign up if you want to watch.

I am also doing an AMA with other Chrome DevRel leads at the Web @ DevFest meetup on 8th December. Enjoy the links below and perhaps I'll see you at one of these events.
