The next few months are looking pretty busy in terms of travel and teaching and presenting. A quick rundown of the schedule, with some tentative dates:

• October 25th: DrupalCamp Chicago
  While DrupalCamp schedules stay fuzzy until the morning of the event, it looks like I'll be doing two sessions. Views 2 gets some love (naturally), and I'll also be doing Soup to Structure, a session on turning Drupal's normally fluid content model into a coherent site structure.
• December 10th-12th: Do It With Drupal
  James Walker and I will be presenting "How We Built Twitter in Drupal," a session on grafting social messaging features onto Drupal, and how to leverage them effectively. It should be fun, especially since I've used "Don't build Twitter in Drupal" as a catchphrase for quite a while...
• March 4th-7th: DrupalCon '09
  The final session lineup is still being ironed out, but I've pitched two sessions for the next DrupalCon. Building APIs That Rock is looking like the front-runner so far, and I think it'll be an interesting session. Plus, puppets.
• March 13th-17th: SXSW Interactive '09
  Final sessions haven't been announced for SXS yet, but depending on how things go I'll either be participating in one of the CMS-related panel discussions, or moderating Drupal With Its Pants Off. The idea is to hold a No-BS™ panel discussion about building mission-critical Drupal sites, helping evaluators spot the pitfalls and take advantage of the easy wins.
