1st Early Bird Registration Extended Until Friday
Submitted by jjeff on Tue, 09/16/2008 - 8:39am
With the recent announcement on drupal.org and my appearance on the FLOSS Weekly podcast, we've had a recent surge of traffic and registrations for the Do It With Drupal event. In order to allow these new people a few days to take advantage of the first early-bird discount, we've decided to extend this discount until Friday (September 19th). Register on Friday before midnight GMT (8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific) to get the $895 rate for the 3-day event.
Registration includes admission to all sessions, parties, and social events, as well as breakfast, lunch, coffee, and snacks. More information about Do It With Drupal can be found on the speakers, schedule, and FAQ pages.
Talking Drupal on FLOSS Weekly
Submitted by jjeff on Mon, 09/15/2008 - 3:18pm
Leo Laporte and Randal Schwartz had me on FLOSS Weekly last week to talk about Drupal, Lullabot, and silly jingles. I think we did a pretty good job of explaining Drupal and the Drupal community to the uninitiated. We also talked about some of the events and sessions happening at Do It With Drupal. All in all, a pretty good podcast. Check it out here.

jQuery Creator John Resig Speaking at DIWD
Submitted by jjeff on Thu, 09/11/2008 - 8:13am
We're proud to announce that John Resig, the founder, creator, and lead developer of jQuery will be presenting at the Do It With Drupal Seminar.
jQuery is the JavaScript library distributed with Drupal and is the basis for all of its AJAX and drag-and-drop functionality. Additionally, Drupal add-on modules can take advantage of jQuery to provide their own rich user interfaces and improved user experience. And as someone who has spent time developing Javascript applications with and without jQuery, this library is a truly a work of genius which makes Javascript development both easier and more fun.
Come hear about the great features, plug-ins, and development happening in the jQuery community and how you can use these in your Drupal project -- from John Resig, jQuery's creator and project lead.

For those who are interested (and we hope that's many of you!) we are in the process of setting up a volunteer day in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity.
On Saturday, December 13th, we are arranging a day for DIWD attendees to travel to the West St. Tammany Parish and support Habitat for Humanity's mission.
Details will follow, but since many of you are starting to think about booking travel, we thought you'd like to know of this option.
