[documentation] Collecting Drupal presentations / videos / resources together in one sane place

Thu Feb 5 23:37:15 UTC 2009

Hi Gus, and all others interested in Drupal resource aggregation,

We can of course hold that meeting at the Dojo's Dimdim, either Monday
or Tuesday 6pm seems to be an option right now.

If you haven't signed up yet but you would like to be part of the
brainstorming vote at:

cheers,
Kristof
