Just as <a href="http://szeged2008.drupalcon.org">Drupalcon Szeged</a> is kicking off, I&#39;ll be talking at this coming week&#39;s <a href="http://netsquared.meetup.com/15/calendar/8360780/">Net Tuesday event, &quot;How Drupal can help you save the world!&quot;</a>. Boy, that <a href="http://engagejoe.com">Joe Solomon</a> really does like catchy titles :P

I&#39;ll be kicking things off with an intro to Drupal. I&#39;ll talk a bit about open source and how it relates / meshes with the mission of non profits. Or rather, why the heck aren&#39;t you using your non profit DNA to work together with other organizations?! I&#39;ll also do lots of my &quot;question&quot; tactics -- asking people in the room to think about their strategy, their use of the web, their use of open source software, and their approach to engagement online.

Following me will be the folks from <a href="http://www.fearlesscity.ca/">Fearless City</a> and <a href="http://www.agentic.ca/">Agentic</a> talking about some case studies.

The event is this Tuesday, August 26th, at 5:30pm at <a href="http://abetterplacetowork.com">WorkSpace</a>. The Meetup event is now closed, but you can show your <a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/event.php?eid=27223426299">attendance on Facebook</a> or <a href="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1041412">upcoming</a>.

P.S. yeah, I said I wasn&#39;t really going to post event stuff here much anymore, putting most of it on the <a href="http://blog.bootuplabs.com" title="Vancouver startup accelerator">Bootup Labs blog</a>. Well, this is an event that I&#39;m doing &quot;solo&quot; as it were. And never fear, I&#39;m going to post over on Bootup about the <a href="http://www.eeroadshow.com">Expression Engine Roadshow</a><a>.</a>
