		<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>My session on <a href="http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/session/totally-rocking-your-development-environment">Totally Rocking Your Development Environment</a> has been accepted for DrupalCon 2009, hooray! Thanks!</p>
<p>This is great! And handy, because I&#8217;ve already promised to give an IBM-flavored version of the talk at the first community call for the newly-formed (or -revived, not sure) IBM Drupal community, which means I will have to have it all ready to go by two weeks from now instead of two months.</p>
<p>Two weeks from now is also when I&#8217;ll be giving a lecture on Enterprise 2.0 and knowledge management to Dorit Nevo&#8217;s MBA class at Schulich.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;ve volunteered to help organize or otherwise make these upcoming conferences awesomer: IBM Web 2.0 Summit, DrupalCampTO, Mesh.</p>
<p>And there&#8217;s <a href="http://lifecampto.eventbrite.com">LifeCampTO</a>.</p>
<p>Busy, busy, busy.</p>
<p>Fortunately, talks are so much more fun to prepare when you think of them as learning opportunities. And I&#8217;ve volunteered to help conferences out with either things I know how to do well (say hi to people at registration desks, etc.) or that I&#8217;m interested in transforming/scaling (abstract submission, voting, schedules) or that I&#8217;m interested in learning (selling sponsorship, buying merchandise). And the conferences are a bit further out.</p>
<p>But &#8220;slew&#8221; is such a good word, because if I&#8217;m not careful and if I don&#8217;t intentionally slow down as I get into the busy-busy-busy times, then another sense (slew: past tense of slay) may figuratively kick in. That wouldn&#8217;t be fun at all.</p>
<p>It&#8217;ll all be great fun, though, and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll learn tons! You&#8217;ll hear about all of it here, of course.</p>
<p>So if I&#8217;m slow at e-mail, you know why. =)</p>
