Drupal Case Study: X PRIZE Foundation
The X PRIZE Foundation is the brainchild of Dr. Peter H. Diamandis who strongly believes that focused and talented teams in pursuit of a prize and acclaim can change the world. The X PRIZE Foundation creates and manages prizes that drive innovators to solve some of the greatest challenges facing the world today. In May 2004, the X PRIZE was officially re-named the Ansari X PRIZE to reflect the generous multi-million dollar donation from the Ansari family. Later that same year, on October 4, 2004, the $10 million Ansari X PRIZE was awarded to Mojave Aerospace Ventures for the flight of SpaceShipOne.
With the success of the Ansari X PRIZE, the X PRIZE is now viewed as the leading model to leverage the elements of public interest, entrepreneurial spirit and cross-disciplinary innovation to bring about breakthroughs in science, space, and technology that benefit us all.
"Revolution Through Competition."
We're happy to have this cool case study presentation, by Mark Krynsky (krynsky); an LA Drupal member.

Getting Started with Drupal
This "get 'em started" presentation is going to be a good primer for people who are new and are getting into Drupal. Plan to see Drupal being installed on a local machine (Windows/Mac) and other various points covered like, what is a Module, how are permissions granted to users, and what are content types and how do I ender content once my Drupal is installed.
