Looking to have multiple 5 (or less) minute lightning talks for the beginning section "3 things I learned at DrupalCamp NJ"

If you attended share some of the highlights from the sessions or hallway conversations. if you want to illustrate what you learned with some slides (e.g. not more than 3 or 4), that's encouraged, but optional.

If you haven't talked at a meetup before this is a great opportunity to get your feet wet.

I be happy to get up and share some things I got out of DrupalCamp NJ. I put my thoughts in a blog post. In a nutshell, I would talk about the following:

  • Drupal is primarily content/data driven (as realized from Ray Saltini's talk on Drupal for Project Managers
  • Thoughts on Paul M. Jones' keynote "How to Train Your Manager"
  • Hearing about Backdrop CMS (probably old news to most of you)
