One on one Drupal tutoring
Many people have asked me to teach them Drupal. I am hoping my new site will be useful to those who want to teach and those who wish to learn the fabulous thing called Drupal - in a one on one environment, locally!
I am building a learning/teaching resources hub at drupalconnection.com
Drupal Kitchen is a part of the hub and is now open for people to meet and learn Drupal.
I would love any feedback and/or offers of help to increase the usefulness of this site for the community!
This is my first Drupal site for the community, so I am open to suggestions at making it better!!!

Per our last Boston Meetup and #drupal-boston, there had been growing interest in having a smaller developer's meetup.
We'll be doing it BarCamp style, from sharing code snippets (be bold!) and peer help reviews (be brave!) to looking at Drupal 7 ***
(be wowed!).
*** This will prob. be a later dev meetup topic where people arrive with D7 pre-installed locally on laptops.
And if there are any volunteers who want to lead the D7 under the hood discussion, let us know.
Where:
MIT Media Lab - Meet 7pm in the main lobby of the "classic" building: 20 Ames St./ E15- the white tiled building as we will head to the final conference room. I will update this thread with the final room number if you come late and can find us.
