Tomorrow on August 17th, 1pm EDT, I will be presenting a webinar on customizing Commons, an Acquia-branded Drupal distribution that brings the best of Drupal's contributed modules together for a community-based collaboration platform. It's totally free, and you can register here.
Not using a distribution? Don't know what a distribution is? Well, this could be a good opportunity to wrap your mind around some of the implications of using distributions to speed up the site building process. And even though this presentation is specific to Commons, the tools will be the same across most distributions, so the information is very portable.
The presentation will be about 40 minutes long with time for questions.
Also, if you've been curious how I present when I don't have post-production video editing software at hand to clean things up, now's your chance. ;-)
Register here for the webinar at 1pm EDT, tomorrow, August 17th (it's FREE!)

Comments
Can I view the webinar somewhere (preferably with good quality audio) online? The audio was quite bad, so I had to quit after just 10 or 15 minutes, because I could not follow along.
Yes, I will be posting a version with clean audio in the next couple of days. I'm sorry for the poor audio, I was using Skype to call in and WebEx to stream the video and apparently that caused the breakage.
Cheers!
Chris
