Hey everyone,

This was mentioned at the meetup, but I wanted to post it here as well. I received a message from Clint Savage at the Utah Open Source Foundation, one the people who run the Utah Open Source Conference. They've given me a promo code for the Utah Open Source Conference 2009 to pass on to everyone. It's good for 50% off the Full Access Pass to the 2009 conference, making it only $35 from the normal registration price of $70.

Sr. Software Developer – Content
Chicago, IL

Under the direction of the Development Team Lead, this position is responsible for the design, development and maintenance of applications for the Playboy Online team. The position is primarily focused on customer facing websites that leverage Content Management Systems.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. Provide development and maintenance for web based applications and systems.
2. Collaborate with business and technical stakeholders to understand their needs, design solutions and build appropriate applications.

Everyone should definitely check out Angie Byron a.k.a webchick's keynote on Women in Open Source. She was awesome (and so was Liza Kindred).

The overall numbers are shockingly bad, BUT in the Drupal community, we are lucky to have webchick. On top of her many contributions to the community she has made it one of her goals to help get women involved. This Drupalchix group is a small example of her efforts.

• Read the post
• Download the slides
• Watch the keynote

Hello All,

I'm one of the volunteer user group organizers for Open Source Bridge [http://opensourcebridge.org], the all-volunteer developers' conference being held in Portland this summer from June 17-19. I wanted to let everyone know there's an open call for presentations. Registration is open as well.

We have one free ticket to distribute to the Portland Drupal UG. There's also a discount code for registration: osb4228.

Please reply to this post if you're interested in the free pass, and I'll randomly select someone from the group

First I would love to tell everyone about Flourish. http://flourishconf.com/

"Welcome to the Flourish 2009 Open Source Conference site! Our goal is to promote the use of open source and provide a gathering place for open source enthusiasts in the Chicagoland area. This will be our third Flourish Conference, and although times are tough, this year we're working even harder to make this conference the best one yet!"

Cost = FREE!

Hi DrupalChix!

I just got back from my first DrupalCon, and had the BEST time!! I don't think I got to meet many of you in person, so I'm saying hi now, and will be more active here in the future :)

Here's the link to my video (less than 2 min):

Hope you guys managed to avoid the drupal plague!
