Thanks to a late invitation from the good people at PBS Engage, I am now set to head up to Washington D.C. for the first PublicMedia Camp event this weekend.

PublicMedia Camp is the brainchild of NPR and PBS, and is designed as "an initiative to strengthen the relationship that public broadcasters have with their communities through the creation of collaborative projects." This mission is an extension of the work I have been doing with PBS Engage, which is an ongoing project to change how PBS and its member stations interact with their audiences.

This has been an exciting week around here. First, Palantir is hosting its first Chicago Drupal Meetup Group (CDMUG) this Thursday, Feb. 19, at 7pm. Second, my newest book, Drupal 6, JavaScript, and jQuery is on its way to the printers. Third, I'm "celebrating" the completion of the book by presenting at the CDMUG group this week, and Larry (Crell) Garfield will be presenting, too.

The official topic for this meetup is "Advanced Drupal."

I'll be covering some JavaScript topics, including using jQuery and jQuery UI to add glitzy effects. If time permits, I may also give a preview of my new Drupal module, QueryPath, which provides a jQuery-like library (but with other goodies) for PHP developers.

Larry, best known for rewriting the Drupal 7 database layer, is going to be presenting on some amazing new modules that are about to be released. There'll be fun eye candy, but also some serious workhorse tools that will spare you hours of work on your own Drupal sites.

As usual, there will be a wide range of Drupal folks here. Come get to know people in the community. Even if JavaSript isn't your thing, just hanging around with some of the brilliant Drupal minds around here is sure to be beneficial. Oh, and did I mention that there will be food?

RSVP, Please! The meetup is on Thursday, Feb. 19, at 7:00pm here at Palantir's offices.

If you are interested in coming, head on over to http://drupal.meetup.com/1/ and register to receive directions.

While all of the "assigned" slots are filled, we are going to make an earnest effort to make room for people on the waitlist. But space will be tight, so make sure you RSVP at the site.
