Media: File and Image handling ?

When you say split into groups to "work on", what are we actually going to be doing?
Reason I ask is 'cause I am looking to learn more about File & Image handling, but may not be able to provide very much "work on" if this is for development purposes. (Just wanna be clear :-)

Come around, you will be surprised how much you will learn simply by initially looking at what people are "working on" and then "attempting to follow example" ;)

AshokanKid, speaking as the guy who got appointed as the Files/Image handling lead we'd love to have the help. Even just having someone to read over the docs and say that makes absolutely no sense it totally helpful so please come on out.

Hey., thanks for the encouragment. I was at DrupalCamp in Bklyn and at the latest meetup, after which both evenings ended at a bar hoisting drafts. Now THAT is where I have experience that can be utilized.

And although on both occasions there was certainly discussion that went right over my head, I gained an awful lot in terms of inspiration if nothing else. Great to be a part of this Drupal Community!

Let's say 11:00, but if you want to arrive a bit earlier that's cool too. I'll be there at around 10:30ish. I updated the original post. Thanks!
