Now we all know you're part of the JQuery craziness. haha, that's my favorite Jscript framework as well...</p> Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:03:41 +0000 Bloodlive comment 244 at http://amountaintop.com http://amountaintop.com/drupalcon-day-3-lessons-learned-jquery <!--paging_filter--><p>Day 3 of <a href="http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/">Drupalcon</a> just wrapped up. I'd definitely have to say that I enjoyed today the most. I'm not sure if it was the sessions, just knowing more people, sleeping in this morning (soooo nice), but I just really enjoyed today.</p> <p>I've learned a few lessons while I've been here at <a href="http://boston2008.drupalcon.org">Drupalcon</a>. The first lesson is that I need to blog more, a LOT more. I don't really blog because I don't have a lot of extra time and I honestly don't think much of what I do. I help a lot of open source projects because I enjoy it, not for the glory. However, now that I've launched my own company based upon consulting in the open source world, I definitely need to start telling the world more about what I do.</p> <p>Case in point, I don't think I've ever mentioned on this blog that I'm a <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/About/Contributors#Mike_Hostetler_.28Colorado.2C_United_States.29">member of the jQuery project</a>. If you've Googled my name, then you might know, but it's a major lapse on my part not to shout that to the world. I help jQuery manage <a href="http://jquery.com" title="http://jquery.com">http://jquery.com</a>. I personally put together the jQuery plugins site using <a href="http://drupal.org">Drupal</a> and the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/project">Project module</a>. Today I had lunch with the maintainers of the project module and figured out that <a href="http://plugins.jquery.com" title="http://plugins.jquery.com">http://plugins.jquery.com</a> has the second biggest implementation of the drupal project module on the net. Kinda crazy, I know.</p> <p>So, I'm going to start blogging more about what I do. We'll see how it goes. I know I've promised more blogging before, but I've got a bit more motivation this time, as my bread and butter now comes from my work with Open Source.</p> <p>Lastly, I was privileged enough this evening to finally meet <a href="http://ejohn.org">John Resig</a> at Drupalcon. Through helping with jQuery, John and I have struck up a friendship over the last year, but we'd never met face to face. John's currently lives in Boston, and showed me a famous local burger joint called <a href="http://www.mrbartley.com/">Mr. Bartley's</a>. If you're ever in Cambridge, you definitely need to eat there, it was awesome.</p> http://amountaintop.com/drupalcon-day-3-lessons-learned-jquery#comments blogging drupalcon jquery Thu, 06 Mar 2008 04:03:19 +0000 Mike Hostetler 262 at http://amountaintop.com
