The 7th annual <a href="http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2008/">Free Software and Open Source Symposium</a> is happening next week, <strong>October 23rd &amp; 24th</strong>. I've spoken at this event 3 years in a row - it's a great event and local in Toronto!</p>




<p>I'll be running 2 sessions again this year:</p>


<ul>
<li><a href="http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2008/?q=node/67">Drupal and Views 2: Powerful Websites in Zero Lines of Code</a>: This workshop will cover some of the power available to Drupal site builders thanks to the awesome new <a href="http://drupal.org/project/views">Views 2</a> module. 2 hours, 1 site, 0 lines of code. Rock!</li>
<li><a href="http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2008/?q=node/53">Using Drupal: Community Powered Code to Run Your Site</a>: This year's presentation will focus on the secret weapon of Drupal: the community. Drupal's success comes down to the power of the people behind it!</a></li>
</ul>




<p>Check out the <a href="http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2008/?q=node/39">full schedule</a> and <a href="https://matrix.senecac.on.ca:8443/fsoss/fsoss/register2008.php">register now!</a>. Hope to see you there!</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>It's mid-October which means it's nearly time for one of Toronto's best run tech conferences again: Seneca's <a href="http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2007/">Free Software and Open Source Symposium</a> happens next week, October 25-26. I had the pleasure of being asked to speak last year, and even managed to get asked back this year. Naturally, I'll be talking about <a href="http://drupal.org/">Drupal</a>... twice:</p>


<p><a href="http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2007/presentationDetails.php?presentationID=90">Drupal Hands-on</a> will be a workshop-style crash course in building sites with Drupal. I really dig doing these things, it's amazing how much you can do with Drupal in a few hours.</p>


<p><a href="http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2007/presentationDetails.php?presentationID=39">Drupal under the hood</a> is my "formal" presentation. Essentially, I'm going to give a brief hour-long overview of Drupal's internal architecture and hopefully inspire some hackers in the audience to dive in.</p>


<p>Some might say that alone is <a href="http://opensourcecommunity.org/2007/10/11/2007-free-software-and-open-source-symposium">reason enough to attend</a>, but if you're not convinced check out the rest of the <a href="http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2007/speakers.php">awesome speakers</a>. I can't say it enough, I think this is a really well done event and there's still room so <a href="http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2007/register.php">register now!</a>.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>A week ago today I was just wrapping up at seneca's <a href="http://cs.senecac.on.ca/fsoss/2006/">free software and open source symposium</a>. My talk, <a href="http://cs.senecac.on.ca/fsoss/2006/presentations/james-walker.htm">"Why Drupal can kick your CMS' ass"</a>, was a lot of fun and well received. Overall, I thought the event was really well done, and I look forward to taking part again next year!</p>


<p>For those who missed it and/or are interested: the slides from my talk are available <a href="http://walkah.net/files/drupal-fsoss-2006.pdf" title="FSOSS Drupal slides">here</a> and video is available <a href="http://cs.senecac.on.ca/fsoss/2006/recordings/">here</a>. Enjoy!</p>
