Speaking at MIT
I will be speaking at MIT on Monday, October 26 at 5pm in the Stata Center in Cambridge. I plan to talk about the state of Drupal, Drupal 7 and Open Source development in general. After the presentation, there will be some time for social networking. The event is free so you're all invited to attend!
On a somewhat related note, we have some intern positions open at Acquia to give people the opportunity to come and learn about Drupal -- students from MIT, Harvard or other universities interested in an internship at Acquia should certainly attend and approach me about it.
Coolness! I hope the room is full and the audience will be listening. Will there be a video of the talk? So the rest of us grunts on the other side of the water can listen too?
October 20, 2009 - 10:57"Some time for social networking" -- I'm imagining the whole audience simultaneously visiting Twitter and Facebook on their phones. Oh wait, they'll do that during the presentation. :-) Congratulations, Dries! My father is an MIT alumnus, so if you get written up in Technology Review or some such, he'll have that much more idea what I do for a living. Knock 'em dead!

October 20, 2009 - 19:28Very nice. Looking forward to it!
If anyone wants to know more about the MIT event, a few questions have been asked (and answered) on the groups.drupal.org event page at http://groups.drupal.org/node/29802
October 20, 2009 - 21:18It is great to see you at Stata and looking forward to meet you.
Although there is a huge interest among people towards Drupal here, it is notable that python and RonR remain popular. Perhaps you could emphasize on Drupal as a framework (not just as CMS) and its scalability.
Looking forward to meet you here.
October 20, 2009 - 23:57Oh my, I just learned that President Barack Obama will be speaking in the same room at MIT that I'll be speaking in 3 days later.
October 23, 2009 - 03:38At least the secret service will have a record of your speech then.
