I know that the schedule closes on the 10th, so I wanted to point out that I am willing to teach a couple of sessions.

I am especially interested in the requested 'Intro to Drupal'. Most of the sessions that have already been accepted are a bit tech-heavy and I would love to offer something simpler early in the day.

I have also volunteered to teach a session about the Drupal DB.

Please let me know as soon as possible if you need me to take on either of these, so that I can start preparing. I could also take on lots of other topics. I have been teaching Drupal in-house at my company for more than a year.

Hey!

Let's talk. I'm doing a training for about 30 people on an intro do Drupal 7. Perhaps you would like to work w/ me on that?

I'm going to fleshing out the details this week, but essentially an interactive session where participants build their own simple site for a fictitious company / non-profit using 100% core if possible + a WYSIWYG.

Even Simpler?

I would be glad to talk.

However, I was thinking of something even simpler.

When I went to the Yale Drupal Camp, there were a lot of people there who had almost no technical experience. Even the session you were describing would have overwhelmed them.

I am proposing something like: 'Explaining Drupal to your boss. What is it, and why should we use it?'. In this session, I would:

  • Explain what a Content Management Framework was
  • Show some example sites, large and small
  • Go over essential Drupal vocabulary (module, node, theme/template, etc.)
  • Go over the interface

If a session like this was provided first thing in the morning, it would give people who were completely new a chance to understand more of what they saw later in the day.
