Webchick Drupal 7 Tour 2011: Los Angeles
Hi Everyone! :D
Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that I'm coming to LA as part of the Drupal 7 tour I'm doing with Lullabot. We'll be at the Four Points by Sheraton hotel on January 21st and 22nd. It's a 2-day seminar aimed at getting Drupalers up to speed on Drupal 7. We'll be covering new features, configuration, theming, module development, API changes, and upgrading your sites to Drupal 7. Now that D7 is out, we want to make sure that you don't get left behind. By the end of this seminar, you'll be ready to start building sites with the latest and greatest version of Drupal.
If you're planning on going to DrupalCon in March, this seminar will help you get more out of the event by getting you up to speed with the version of Drupal that everyone will be talking about. If you won't be making it to Chicago, this is a great way for you to keep up with Drupal without needing to travel.
Registration is $395 for the 2 days and includes breakfast and lunch on both days. Register before Tuesday (the 11th) and we'll throw in a “Webchick Tour” t-shirt for free. We're doing a lot of work to make this a really great event with lots of really useful information and I hope you'll all be able to make it! :)

A challenge to the Los Angeles Drupal community!
In a previous thread, I mentioned my challenge to the Los Angeles Drupal community about ways for all of us to help both presenters & organizers alike avoid the dreaded 'B' word- burnout. I detail ways that we all, as a community, can step it up- which we need to do since word has come down from the LA Drupal Managers that only the Westside meetup is the "official/main" meetup & that they won't be providing official, logistical/managerial support for all of the other local groups that have sprung up in the last year (& are thriving!).
