Stanford’s Mobile SIG (Special Interest Group) meets occasionally to discuss current mobile web topics and share works in progress. This quarter, the Mobile SIG meeting is being upgraded to Tech Briefing status for a special presentation by Brian Young of IT Services on the incorporation of Twitter’s Bootstrap responsive UI framework into Stanford’s official Drupal web themes.
