Just back from Drupal Camp LA, where I ended up giving three talks. It was fantastic to see several hundred people come out to a Drupal event over the weekend.

Particularly encouraging was the fact that the Beginner track was so well attended. Over 100 of the attendees identified themselves as Drupal beginners.

Kudos to the city of LA, who donated the use of the LA Convention center for the camp. Of course they charged ungodly rates to the organizers for wifi, so that was bit of an issue. We also weren't allowed to bring outside food in, which would have been fine had the food vendors at the convention center been open.

Big thanks to Chris Charlton and Crystal Williams for organizing this fantastic camp. It turned to be nearly as big as Drupalcon.

Several people asked for copies of the slides I used in my presentations, so I'll post them here. These are compressed low-res PDFs to save you from downloading enormous files.

Update: If you want the full-size PDFs, you can get them at Slideshare.
