Presentation on Presenting
Emma Jane Hogbin's pre-Conference session, "Presenting You!"
http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/session/presenting-you-workshop
[paraphrased, I know it better as "...and tell them what you told them"]
Tell people what you are going to teach them.
Teach them.
Tell people what you taught them.
For a 45 minute presentation, can break your presentation into 15 minute chunks:
Panels2 and Organic Groups
So you want to use drupal's Organic Groups module and Panels2 because you've heard through the grapevine that really slick and useful things can be done with the combo..
Help people help Drupal: link to 'how to apply a patch' from issues with patches on d.o
I will try to make sure that part of the Drupal.org redesign or before is to add a link to the "apply a patch" documentation from issues with patches.

Tutorial (June 7) - http://www.drupal.org.uk/node/255
Earl Miles outline of needed documentation:
The starting point is the readme. The documentation needs to describe the following things:
Helping Agaric debug site availability or network issues for a site
Debugging site availability issues to a MS Windows computer.
Click on Start, Run, and then type cmd and enter.
On the command prompt opened:
- type
ping www.example.com(press enter) - type
tracert www.example.com(press enter) - type
telnet www.example.com 80(press enter)
User could not connect to database in making a site with a there-then-missing installation profile
OK, you're not likely to run into this problem.
However, if you do things the Agaric way, and point a domain at a server, and Apache sends it to a valid Drupal installation with a custom installation profile option, and you select that installation profile, and then realize you really want Apache pointing your domain to a different, 5.2 installation.
Taxonomy image with Category.module (Drupal 4.7)
Using taxonomy_image with category module (Drupal 4.7)
This works, but you need to know the direct path to the taxonomy image administration page (not its settings page).
The taxonomy help page - admin/help/taxonomy_image - says to do configuration at 'administer >> categories >> images'
If the Category module is installed, taking over the core taxonomy module's functions, there will be no link to image or images anything in the menu or as a tab.
Instead, you can navigate directly to the taxonomy_image admin page here:
/admin/taxonomy/image
Ask Agaric: Page not publishing
> I just added a member but it says that it is not public:
> http://example.com/member-organization/council-canadians
>
> please make it public and give me back authorization to publish.
I'll be providing way more detail than necessary in an educational, about Drupal manner...
For this problem simply, when editing the page or creating it in the first place, click on publishing options (right above the Preview/Submit buttons) and select Published, and submit.
Ask Agaric: Unable to edit a page
> I also can't edit this page:
> http://example.com/but-i-can-see-revisions
three users all created 11 weeks 11 hours ago had the role of "submin" -- here they are and their last access.
Not-Agaric Member 3 weeks 4 days ago
Alsonot Agaric 6 weeks 3 days ago
Stillnot Ourfault 11 weeks 11 hours ago
We probably weren't clear enough at all, but submin (borrowing from the modesty, falsely or not, of Subcomandante Marcos) is the user we grant all powers to-- just blindly checking off every box, because that makes it easier for us.
