Meet-Up

We had an action packed Atlanta Drupal User Group (ADUG) meetup last week with two awesome demonstrations of emerging Drupal distributions - Open Publish, which was created by our friends at Phase2 Technology and Drupal Gardens from our partner, Acquia.

We recently completed a 2010 long-range planning meeting for our Atlanta Drupal User Group (ADUG) meetup. Our pseudo-committee consists of five to seven key organizers, and we have intentionally kept the structure fairly informal. We conduct presentations on the third Tuesday of every month in a training center that is provided by Matrix Resources (large staffing agency).

This week I had the pleasure of attending the final round of the InVenture Competition at Georgia Tech University in Atlanta.   InVenture is an innovation competition for undergraduate students at Georgia Tech. Students can work independently or in teams to develop and present inventions, which will be judged by an expert panel.

Wow, I am finishing up what has turned out to be an action-packed few days during Drupalcon 2009 in Washington D.C.  In a word the conference has been AMAZING.  In addition to myself, Chris, Derek, and Josh from Mediacurrent were here.  Most of the presentations and Birds of Feather (BoF) groups I attended were focused on the business track.  My colleagues immersed themselves in the more technical sessions.
