Would love to learn about deployment environments
I would be interested in learning more about how setup a project using source control along with environments such as local, qa, staging, live. I am looking into how to use drush make and other tools to setup a proper build process. Right now I am using db dumps and everything checked into source control and want to get away from having any configuration in the DB.
Thanks!

we discussed it and this will take 2 whole sessions...
1 on file deployments (u know all about this obviously)
and a second just about db... Sean Smiley is very much invited - hint hint! ;)
Good poll suggestions. Out
Good poll suggestions. Out of those, these interest me:
1) Git, since that is what we have moved towards with the Drupal project.
2) Simpletest
Also, for any Drupal 7 related chats, I could share some notes for whoever the presenter will be. It was quite a few months ago, but I compiled a list from various sources and my own experience of changes and gotchas in going from D6 to D7 from a module developer's point of view.
I'm up in Temecula, but I'll try to make this meeting.

I wanna learn about all of
I wanna learn about all of them! Personally, my priorities would be:
This would make a great series IMHO. Empire-building (sic) is a sensible business plan, Version Control is essential to mental health (with Drush being a key component). Could we power out the VCS and Drush together?
Then the breakdown of Drupal 7 internals and contributing back. I think this could really guide Drupal developers into sustainable business first (teach a person to fish...), then get into more customization and contrib.
The only things missing are theming. I'm personally still so dependent on ready-made themes, and themers are still at a premium it seems.

so we've done...
-Drush but not simpletest.
-Breakdown of D7 under the hood (KathyH)
-Next up from what I can tell Deployments and Version Control.
(which we should cover contributions with the coming NOW of Git mentioned tonight.)
