Update: I found a roommie, yay! I can't wait to see you all at the summit.

I'm trying to figure out how I can attend DrupalCon 2007 at the Open Source CMS Summit sponsored by Yahoo! The summit and related events are free, so it's mostly a matter of child care (got it covered) and affording transportation and the hotel stay.

If any non-smokers in Washington would like to carpool to Sunnyvale, or any nonsmoking webmonkeys would like to split a hotel room with an easygoing lady geek, please let me know. I'm a night owl, I don't hog the bathroom, and I'm happy sharing accommodations with geeks of any gender. Please note that I am deathly allergic to cigarette smoke, so not smoking in the car/room isn't good enough -- you really have to be a nonsmoker.

I'll be teaching a short "Beginning Drupal" workshop next Thursday, October 19th, as an activity of FOSS Olympia, my local Free and Open Source Software user group.

This free workshop will be held at Mud Bay Coffee from 7pm to 9pm on October 19th.

Edubuntu Dapper Drake (6.06) was officially released today. My geeky celebration involved a few friends and our collective kids enjoying the local pool, complete with an Edubuntu cake made by yours truly. Much fun was had by all, despite intermittent rain, lack of proper utensils, and other tiny inconveniences.

I'm proud of how Dapper has turned out, and I plan to keep contributing to Edubuntu.
