Drupal in Jerusalem

Introducing Drupal to non programmers as well,

a) Intro to Drupal and community by Israel David ~15 mins
b) Singing Communities Site presentation, User point of view and administrator point of view - by Amir Simantov ~ 20mins
c) On Linux distros and Ubuntu, OpenOffice and Firefox by Sivan Green ~15 mins
d) Our experience with Drupal by Yoni and Michael from YAM-Designs ~20mins
e) Q&A's ...

This meetup - hopefully first in a series - is to give students, staff and interested Yerushalmim, an introduction to the Open source/ Drupal community and the means at their disposal.

If all goes well we may replicate this meetup in another college, university and high school.
You can participate in presenting and/or organizing a meetup in your city.
The Linux community is assisting by providing the hall/classroom.

The background for the initiative:
About three years ago I figured "Open source" to be a marginal trend in the programming world.
I still meet knowledgeable persons - young as well - who know even less than I did at the time.
Today I'm aware this is the community that is leading and providing means to all for the silent revolution that knows no borders.

Many thanks to the Jerusalem Linux Club.

    Hi all,
    Time does not permit to show it all, so I would like to ask you what do you think is the best to concentrate on:
    1. Site Admin point of view (configuration, adding a module, tweaking CSS)
    2. Site Manager point of view - a super-user with many permissions but none one that might kill the site ;-)
    3. Collaborating user's point of view - adding new content and editing existing content.
    4. Specific modules [name them if you recognize them in the site - http://kehilotsharot.org.il].
