It seems like I blinked a minute or two ago, and I was on a plane returning from an amazing conference in New Orleans. While it doesn't seem possible, my calendar doesn't lie. Today does appear to be January 5th.

Over the last few days, Robert Douglass and the team from Acquia were kind enough to publish a podcast we did down in New Orleans at Do It With Drupal. We talked about Drupal in Education, and Drupal for Education, and, well, Drupal. As always, it was a pleasure to catch up with Robert. On a personal level, he is one of the nicest people on the planet. The fact that he is also an amazing developer is icing on the cake.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be tieing up some loose ends. Look for a partner product to The Commons, information about the upcoming DrupalEd 6 release, more tutorials on setting up portfolios, and some aggregation and distribution goodness. We're also polishing some curriculum for online training on setting up and administering Drupal sites. In short, we're all pretty excited about what 2009 holds in store.

This December 10th through the 12th, I'll be at the Do It With Drupal seminar in New Orleans. The name of the seminar notwithstanding, a quick run through the speakers list and the sessions shows that this seminar offers a solid blend of social web, web communities, and developing web trends, in addition to sessions on Drupal use and development.

Drupal use within education is on the rise; if you are already using Drupal, thinking about using Drupal, or contemplating ways of making your site more effective, this conference will have something for you.
