Posting the Lightening Talk videos
Starting tonight I'll be posting videos of the lightening talk presentations. Each one will be posted individually. Here's a demo of what they'll look like. Anyone who wants to present without worrying about posterity, let me know and I'll not post that video.

Thanks for posting and getting the word out, Matt!
Matt really did an awesome job in the program and is a shining example. Other awesome Boston Meetup people you may know from are Jaleel Carter and Thomas Charging Hawk.
If you know Mike Anello (@ultimike) from the Drupal community and Organizer of Drupal Camp Florida, he was the instructor for the first session. Somehow I am not sure the Boston winter was his sort of thing so we are looking for a perm replacement.
I'd like to add that if you are referred to the position by a current Acquian, please indicate the name of the person in the application.
If you are not interested but refer someone, you may be eligible for an external referral bonus.
Ping me, Matt, or Jeannie w/ any questions!

Winter is my sort of thing, but winter without my family isn't...
