GO2 Media Design attends DrupalCon SF 2010GO2 Media Design President, Timothy Wood attended DrupalCon 2010 in San Francisco, April 18-21. GO2 Media Design specializes in Drupal websites and applications, and Tim was there to find out the latest on the popular open source content management system software. Keynote speeches by Drupal creator, Dries Buytaert, and Tim O'Reilly of O'Reilly Publishing, were highlights of the three day trip. Sessions for a variety of relevant topics and techniques ranged from design to management of projects and clients. Mr. Wood attended some of the basic sessions but having a solid three years experience and more than 20 websites built with Drupal, he found that "we were fairly advanced in our ability to design or 'theme' the application, and more interested in the advanced sessions for e-commerce, social media networking, administration, and management of larger CMS projects. It was also a great experience to meet people from around the world in the Drupal community that have contributed so much to the project". See Drupal.org for more information. |

Pecha Kucha Presentations by Area Artists, Designers and CreativesGO2 Media Design founder, Timothy Wood was included in the roster of presenters at Westchester Community College's Peekskill Pecha Kucha Night. Other local presenters were multimedia artist Leah Quinn, Robert C. Maxwell of Maxwell Fine Arts Gallery, and author and cartoonist, Craig Yoe. His presentation included a personal introduction, a bit of history of the company, and many slides of example works related to website design and brand development. Pecha Kucha was devised in 2003 in Tokyo to give young designers a venue to meet, network, and show their work; they created a format that kept presentations very concise in order to encourage audience attention and increase the number of presenters within the course of one night. They took the name Pecha Kucha (usually pronounced in three syllables as "peh-chak-cha") from a Japanese term for the sound of conversation ("chit-chat").
