Drupalcamp Atlanta 2009: Full Video Coverage Available

Drupalcamp Atlanta Session Videos The inaugural Drupalcamp Atlanta was held September 19, 2009 at Kennesaw State University. While the event has come and gone, not to worry. Some of you had to cancel due to other obligations or may have wanted to see two sessions that overlapped - thanks to some gracious volunteers full coverage of every session is now available. You can now view FREE access to (almost) the entire archive of 30+ hours of video from Drupalcamp Atlanta. The breakout sessions covered a wide range of topics – some of what you might takeaway include:
  • Best practices and tips from leading Drupal experts
  • Insight from practitioners who address subject matter like architecting, theming, and project management
  • New modules, products, and hosting options
Here is what a few attendees had to say:

Overall, I thought the quality of presentations was much higher than DCon DC and Boston!

The opening speaker set a really positive, community-oriented tone that carried over for the sessions I thought. The information sharing attitude (presenters with and among the audience participants) was much better than at a standard conference -- and that's quite remarkable for a tech conference.

The lectures were all incredibly informative. You guys did a fantastic job in the choices that you made.

For additional insight on what subject matter is covered in the video presentations please click on the session descriptions.

Morning Keynote Session:
The Drupal Movement – Where Do You Fit In?

Drupal is much more than just a piece of software that you download.
So what are *all* the pieces to the puzzle and where do you fit in?

Whether you are a newbie, expert, coder, designer, or an end user, we all have an impact on the ecosystem where the sum is greater than its parts. We'll take a tour of the ecosystem and how you can have more impact than you think.
