Advice for marketer/Drupaler job seeker
Hey,
I teach Drupally stuff at Oakland University, in the business school. (If you were at the Michigan Drupal Camp, I was the dude who did the WYSIWYG session.)
I've got a bright student who'll be graduating in April, with a degree in marketing. She's taken my Drupal course, and worked on a couple of sites. She's a little older, with job experience and a good work ethic.
Are there jobs that would use her marketing and Drupal skills? Or places to look for jobs. Or events she should attend. Or other advice.

Regional Drupal Camps
So, we have a lot of Drupal Camps going on in the Midwest this year. This is a GREAT thing! It means the local communities are getting strong enough to start hosting these camps. I know this year our camp could have been a lot larger, our venue this year was big enough to handle something MUCH larger, but as I'm sure a number of others out there are experiencing some balance of sponsors, speakers, and attendees that may or may not already be committed to another Drupal Camp.
