Indy Drupal HackFest WrapUp

Whoa! [I promised many of you some helpful Drupal links. Please find those at the bottom of this post]
Thanks to all who brought themselves, drinks, snacks, and their Drupal Knowledge. The quarterly Indy Drupal HackFest hit #5 yesterday with a bang! 24 people showed up to share what they know and learn what they don't know. Geographically the group was all over the place; including Kentuckiana, Columbus, Cincinnati, Mishawaka, Indianapolis, and the greater Indiana in general.
We used the main conference room for general geekery and the board room for hot topics. I gave an Intro To Drupal, Neil and Ray showed off features, open atrium, spaces, and deploy.
We had a Joomla dev who was curious about Drupal. We had a SharePoint dev who's NFP uses Drupal and the maintenance of the site was recently bestowed upon her. We had a new Drupal dev who was trying to help her organization get a handle on a site that is currently being built overseas.
The overwhelming question was "when is the next hackfest?" I have encouraged Aaron to look into February.

OK. Helpful Drupal Links.
The Lullabot Video Series. Learn from the pros. 17 Hours of high quality education. Watch it all the way through then navigate thru the video chapters when you need a quick, quality reference.
The Do It With Drupal Seminar If you can swing it down to New Orleans Wed, Thur, Fri on Dec 9-11, then you have GOT to check out! Get instruction from the people that wrote the modules you use. Scroll through the who's who on the speaking roster.
DrupalCamp Chicago On the heals of Do it With Drupal is the MidWest's biggest Drupal event. The website has all the details.
Drupal ScreenCasts and Tutorials. The audio/video quality varies from each source. Be sure you're watching a session for the version of Drupal that you are using. There is a seemingly endless sea of screencasts, videos, and tutorials out there.

Enjoy!
