  These Drupal links matter to you 20080909
  • Oh yeah, Lullabot is the primary organizer behind a big Drupal conference, Do it with Drupal.  3 days in New Orleans in December.  No BarCamp or Drupalcon, it looks to be a highly curated event, with major speakers from within and outside the Drupal community, 1000-2000 attendees (?).  I'm super excited that Drupal is getting a major event like this. The Drupalcons and Drupalcamps are great, but I think this kind of context for Drupal can legitmize in some corporate environments.

  • I swear I don't work for Lullabot, but another announcement related to them: There are some Lullabot Drupal workshops next week in Portland.

  • BTW, Drupalcon Szeged was very well documented, often with full videos and slides from the talks. Check out the full session page with links to files and descriptions for the Drupalcon Szeged talks. Bravo to the group who ran it. I've heard only good things from those who attended, that it was a great atmosphere. Also, as somebody viewing from afar, the speed with which they've uploaded videos after the event is quite fast!
  • This is interesting. Web-learning mainstay Lynda.com has Drupal training videos. As with most Lynda.com content, there are some free samples on the course page. It's great that they have some Drupal training, but it's confusing that they cover MAMP and WAMP installation, but neglect what is by far the most prominent Drupal hosting environment (or any web hosting environment): LAMP (Linux). Maybe the context is proof of concept?
    Also, Lynda.com has WordPress coursework up, so Drupal is not the first open source tool to make the cut, but it's still significant that a site mostly known for teaching HTML and Final Cut Pro has Drupal videos.

  • LA People, DrupalCamp LA is next week, September 13th, 14th
