Thanks Jacob and everyone else who helped organise, sponsor and lead the sessions. I learned a lot, hopefully helped some other folk, and met many great people.

Thanks for coming out, I'm glad that we were able to create a camp that people liked and I hope that everyone met new people, learned new things about Drupal and/or saw Drupal being used in new ways.

Just wanted to say a big THANKS to Jacob and all of the organizers (and instructors and attendees) of the third NYC DrupalCamp. It was a fantastic event --- beautifully organized and run.

THANKS again!

Thanks everyone for coming out. While we had some ups and downs at the camp (like the room being too warm in the morning) I think it turned out really well. I want to emphasize, again, how proud I am to be part of such a great community.

One of the points I was trying to make during my mini-speech in the morning was how we, as a Drupal community, using Open Source Software (OSS) and being involved in the larger Open Source community are creating real change in the world. We can see direct results from those that use Drupal and/or OSS to manage political or social justice campaigns and other forms of activism. Other results are harder to see but are massive nonetheless. The software industry is shifting, turning and adjusting to the phenomenon of people like you choosing to pay for premium support vs. paying for a product. The big companies have adjusted licensing costs and have placed a larger emphasis on service as well as creating items like "Shared Source" or even partially opening up the source of their products.

Even if you're not a coder and looking at the source doesn't interest you, think of it as knowledge. When the big companies open up their source they are releasing knowledge back into our world, society and communities. Knowledge pushes our societies forward and allows us to continue to grow, products are simply representations of a set of knowledge.

We can be see change elsewhere too. Unconferences, like barcamps, rose up against the standard commercialized conference putting emphasis on knowledge transfer vs. product purchases. Creative commons licensing is a massive rebellion against the trademark/copyright laws the purposely aim to sequester knowledge.

Although you may have just attended a "conference" this weekend you are part of a movement that is rippling throughout the world and causing change.

Thank you for attending
Thank you for using Open Source Software
Thank you for using Drupal
Most importantly, Thank you, for getting involved in your community and sharing your knowledge with others. Without that transfer we are nothing.

One, my photos are up, http://www.flickr.com/photos/nikkiana/sets/72157600855218695/ in case anyone wants to see.

Two, during the lightning talks on Saturday, there was a fellow who was talking about creating a website in response to a book. Does anyone recall what the name of that book was?
