Session submissions are open to all attendees. So far, we've lined up several excellent speakers:

Cross posting from Meetup.com:

On August 26 at 7pm, Todd Nienkerk, co-founder of Four Kitchens, will be giving a presentation. Since getting your feet wet with Theming - An Introduction, you may be looking for the best in subtheming design practices. Grid-based design is an integral part of many professional web designers' toolkit. Drupal's blocks, regions and complex content benefit especially well from this discipline. Come out to learn more, discuss with fellow Drupalists and have a drink afterward. . .

For more information, see the Meetup.com listing.

This comes from our good friend Lynn Bender (GeekAustin), who has graciously assembled a list of all the Drupal-related sessions for SXSW Interactive 2009:

What

It's time for another Austin Drupal Users Group Meetup! This month, Lauren Roth has invited us to join forces with the Austin Drupal Meetup Group from meetup.com and try a new venue, the UT ACT Lab.

From the meetup.com announcement:

Elegant Functionality Requires More Than Hacking Bluemarine

One of the greatest benefits of a Content Management System like Drupal, is the ability to separate the visual presentation (Theme) layer from the site logic. This is accomplished by placing your theme files in site/all/themes. The rest is up to your abilities to write & edit PHP template files, use hooks, and customize CSS for use in customizing the presentation of your site. The callbacks may seem a bit labyrinthine, but by making a sub-theme you can get well on your way.

Sound tough? It is not.

Come out next Month to learn how to get started! Lauren N. Roth will be giving short presentation to get you going and recommends bringing a Localhost installation on your own computer. Even if you are an experienced Drupal developer, write modules, and have been pimping out sites for years, let's get together, discuss best practices and demystify the design process. If you write modules, some themer needs to handle your output after they enable your module, so it would be fantastic to build a little elegance into the module itself!

Come out, ask questions, share your experiences and help others make some amazing Drupal sites!

We are working with two clients in the VA/DC area. While there is a strong preference for the developer to work in house they are open to telecommuting options. The base salary range for both opportunities is between 85-90K

They are also open for clients living in Seattle and Austin, TX (Telecommuting ok) If you are a strong back end developer please send over your resume or call with any questions.

It's time for another Austin Drupal Users Group Meetup! Several people have suggested that we devote some time specifically to beginner topics. With that in mind, we'll devote the first 45 minutes to an hour on a beginner topic. Any suggestions?

Also, let's try to have some specific intermediate to advanced presentations scheduled. If you're comfortable presenting, please reply with a topic or topics that you would be interested in covering and approximately how much time you would need for each. If we have more topics than we have time for, we can spread them out over future meetings. If there are any specific topics you'd like to see presented, please post those too.
