Hey, I've just started working in Drupal and have mostly done themeing at this point with a little work at creating modules but I'd love to pitch it. Don't know too much about creating and running patches, but willing to learn. Would someone with my skills be okay to come along and maybe try out with one of the patchnewbie assignments?

Come along for the ride! I'm

Come along for the ride! I'm mostly a themer here and somewhat in the same boat. Always fun to learn with someone else. See you tomorrow.

I work at The Jibe Multimedia, Inc.

Can't make it

Hey,

looks like I'm not going to be able to make it. Bummer. New client drupal site launch takes precedence. Maybe I can pitch in next time.
Hope all goes well.
