It's time to get ready for our September meetup. We would like to get as many Drupal freelancers there as possible, as well as any companies looking for Drupal developers.
If anyone has any good resources or would like to present some best practices for freelancers in general, as well as Drupal specific practices (such as not editing core etc.) we could use some presenters for this event. If no one wants to take the lead we can just have a general discussion and maybe connect some businesses with developers.
Of course, we will be heading to the Winchester immediately following for some food and drinks.
If you would like to present, or just have a topic you would like the group to talk about, or a question about anything please post it in this thread.
Looking forward to it.

How do those who are not fluent in tech jargon know whether a developer or freelancer is going to be a good match? In other words, what clues should they be looking for?
There are at least two strong commodities that GRupalers can market if they have mastery over them:
