Training
We at Broadstreet are happy to announce that, in conjunction with IT-Ology, we are offering free training for Drupal, the open source content management system used to power some of the world's largest websites.
The class, Introduction to Drupal, will take place on Saturday, October 12, 2013, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at the IT-Ology training center on 1301 Gervais Street in Columbia.
The course will be led by SC Drupal User Group leader Tom Sliker, and will cover an overview of Drupal as well as more advanced site building topics. By the end of the training each student will have their very own, fully functional Drupal website.

I'll be teaching a session of "Hello Drupal" for the Open IT Lab at IT-Ology in Columbia, next Saturday, March 17, 2012, 9:30 - noon. If you've never been to IT-Ology, you should definitely check it out. It is a state of the art high tech training facility.
I'm a little late sharing this but I just wanted to take moment to mention the very successful Bar Camp Charleston (www.BarCampChS.org).
There were dozens of interesting sessions covering everything from Linux to Web Design to Salsa dancing. There were 3 Drupal sessions. The first was 'Intro to Drupal' which was given by Nikolai Burton. Nikolai runs Charleston Drupal Users Group (http://chsdug.org/) and also presented a session called "A Whirlwind World Tour of Film." Nikolai was asked to do this session att the last minute and he filled in admirably. He presented to a packed classroom of more than forty people and it was a valuable session.
I had the privilege Friday night to speak to the MBA Program at the KV Institute of Management and Information Studies in Combaitore, India. I was a guest speaker as part of their International Business Expert Series, and my subject was "From Small Business to Global Business in a Small Town." I did the presentation over live video using ooVoo software, which is similar to Skype.
There was a full classroom (pictured above) and the students were very attentive and very engaged. Coimbaitore is a city of 1.5 Million people, so I started by trying to explain just how small South Carolina is and how small Wagener is. I then spent time talking about two of my customers, Busbee Truck Parts and Tyler Brothers, as well as my own home-based business, Broadstreet Consulting.
