See You At Drupal Camp

I’m going to be at DrupalCampNYC 4 tomorrow in Brooklyn. I’m going to learn more about this platform that is getting a higher profile every day. I hope to turn some of that knowledge around to you. Some of that turnaround will be more immediate and some will be turned around over time. I’ll try to phone in a report on my Utterz channel and maybe upload a picture or two there. I’m also bringing video and audio capture tools.
One topic of discussion that I hope to engage in revolves around Chris Pirillo’s Open Source Community initiative. Chris plans to build on Drupal core in order to create a more user friendly implementation process for the platform. I think this is a great idea but it should not create a fork in the road that forces people to choose between Drupal A and Drupal B when they want to use the platform. Drupal already has a robust community and I think that the effort that Chris proposes would be best located and documented amongst the resources in the central Drupal community repository at Drupal.org. Chris may very well be planning to do that so I’ll be keeping an eye out to see what his next step is.
