Dear SDDUG:
I've been dipping my toes into the defense industry in our lovely home of San Diego. Drupal is very big in government in general but military is not as tapped. I am proposing to get a booth under our user group name and if you feel you have particular skills to bring to military jobs, contact me and get me your biz cards. I will charge $50 per company that wishes to be represented so we can return the money to our user's group in preparation for SandCamp. This is a good way to show that Drupal is firmly engaged in our community. Doug Hoffman, Rich Yumul and I will attend and man the booth. If you'd like to volunteer, let me know. See ticket prices below. Benefit to our user's group:
--there are Drupal user's in these sectors
--visibility for our group
--potential for work and training
--potential sponsors and speakers for SandCamp
Let me know your thoughts,
Your biz dev den mom
