I want to thank Todd Newell for offering the use of the WTAMU Enterprise Center, and even providing fresh Roaster's coffee for us. There's a rumor he may even bring other refreshments, but I'm not going to hold him to that. He's doing enough already. Thanks Todd!

I'd like to make sure that you're all aware of some nearby DrupalCamps, as well as the next DrupalCon.
DrupalCamp Colorado will take place in Denver, June 27 & 28. I went last year and enjoyed it very much. Over 100 people attended, the cost was very very reasonable. And there was a nice variety of sessions and speakers. Very much like a mini-conference.

March Amarillo Drupal Meetup
- Location: Roasters on Georgia
- Date/Time: Wednesday March 18 at 4:00 pm.
I've moved the event a week later than originally scheduled so I can recover from Drupalcon DC a bit, and plan out a little more of what to present. The tentative agenda is for Justin and I to talk about what we saw, heard, and did at Drupalcon. I think we pretty much attended totally different sessions (there were often 7 simultaneous sessions), so we'll have a lot to talk about.
