What is Drupal and how did I get tangled up in this crazy thing
Doug Vann is a Drupal Developer & Trainer for Chicago-based Duo Consulting.
Doug entered Geekdom as a fifth grader in 1983 with a Commodore 64 and a 300 baud connection to CompuServe. Twenty-seven years later he leads the Indiana Drupal Users Group and develops in Drupal full-time. Catch Doug's blog at www.DougVann.com. Google "Drupal Song," and you're likely to find a few videos of Doug, jamming on the guitar, unabashedly proclaiming his passion for Drupal!
His love for learning and experimenting in Drupal is overshadowed only by his love to teach and evangelize it. He has presented in Minneapolis, Toronto, Indianapolis, Ohio LinuxFest, the Lullabot event: DoItWithDrupal, and DrupalCamps in Orlando, Madison WI, Atlanta, Chicago, and L.A. You can often find Doug on the FREENODE IRC Network in Drupal-support helping people get through the steep learning curve of Drupal. Doug, his wife of 14 years, and their 4 children reside in Indianapolis.
Upcoming engagements in IL for Doug Vann are the CMS Expo May 3-5 in Evanston & the Webcontent Conference June 6-7 in Chicago.
