How to Get Things Done in the Drupal Community
The Drupal Community is a huge, diverse, unregulated (should we say unorganized, or should we say self-organized) entity. It can be completely baffling to try to navigate the community to try to figure out how to change it.
In this talk we'll discuss how to choose things to work on, how to figure out who you need to talk with to be successful, how to build your credibility in the community, and the many kinds of communication skills you'll want to develop. We'll help you figure out how the community actually works so you can have an impact.

How should I choose a project to work on?
What can I expect to change (and what might I not be able to change)?
What do I need to do to get noticed in the community?
How do I communicate with people I've never even met? How do I figure out who I should communicate with?
How can I sort out what I can do and what I probably can't do?

I'll gladly attend any session by Randy Fay
And I'm greatly looking forward to this one. I do want to play a bigger part in the Drupal community and I'm sure that if anyone can impart wisdom about how to better plug in to the needs of the project and actively "get things done" (as he does), Randy can. :-)
