Drupal DojoNote: Video is compressing, will be up later tonight.

I'm back on to teach another Dojo Lesson this Sunday at 11am PST (2PM EST, 4PM Buenos Ares, 8PM Belgium/Hungary). Topic is TBA, but see the great wiki page Matt Koglin pulled together and let's start a comment thread on it.

I'm open to doing a more high-level beginner-friendly session after last week's dive into NodeAPI. I'm also open to doing a practical "how do I make a site do xyz" type lesson. Once it's decided I'll edit this event node to include the topic and we can collect pre-reading, etc, as per usual.

Join us in #drupal-dojo on IRC, and on skype #+99001110025448968. You can also see my screen here.

Two other points to note:

  • Greggles has stepped up in the IRC room to lead a session on how to use CVS to manage an official Drupal project. Awesome! He will be leading Lesson #5 on Sunday the 27th. [edit: see and edit the lesson plan wiki]
  • SamTressler has offered to set up a session at Drupal Camp NYC where the Dojo lesson will be projected and people can take part; an exciting real/virtual world crossover!

Great, I agree with the

Great, I agree with the beginner friendly session, whatever people most need. Looking forward to it.

No word yet on Greggle's CVS lesson, but I'll try and nudge him to post the next time I bump into him.

Josh, any word on the screencaps from this yet? It was really good but if I haven't got a reference copy I'll just scream! ;)

Thanks again for all your continued efforts.

I'm ready to help pass it around via bittorrent when it becomes available. And yes, as I was chasing around kids while trying to follow along I need a copy too.

Great one indeed. thanks josh!
I was kicked out of skypecast toward the end of lesson, looking forward the screencast. I think it'd be useful to have a post-lesson Q&A wiki page, I myself have a couple un-answered questions. We may get more questions when going over the screencast later and dig into the subject more...Maybe I'll be back and post one later...Sunday night dinner time now:)
