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

Mon Feb 9 22:40:02 UTC 2009

Interested in Drupal materials infrastructure?

Meet us at the Dojo's Dimdim tomorrow (Tuesday) at 6pm CET+1 - check
your timezone!

If you want to join but you didn't sign up on the doodle poll yet:
http://doodle.com/participation.html?pollId=fg3pem2nnt8m7acu

I haven't used the Dojo Dimdim yet, so Addi or Gus can you take the lead?

cheers,
Kristof
