Speaker Spotlight: Moshe Weitzman

In addition to being one of Drupal's old timers (he has the drupal.org user id of 23), most people in the Drupal community know Moshe as the father of Organic Groups. Organic Groups is Drupal's answer to Yahoo Groups or Google Groups. Part private/public message board, part mailing list, part MySpace, Organic Groups can be used in many ways to solve many different types of problems. And at Do It With Drupal, Moshe will be leading an Organic Groups master class. Come learn what can be done and how you add Organic Groups to your site from the module's author and creator.

Moshe has been a consistent contributor to Drupal core and contrib since November 2001 (before drupal.org was born). As such, he has pretty much been involved in one way or another with every line of code in Drupal core. He maintains the user.module, the bootstrap code, and the groups.drupal.org web site.

Moshe is the #2 Drupal developer on Ohloh. He is also a member of the Drupal Security Team and a permanent member of the Drupal Association. In 2007, Moshe started Cyrve, a company which specializes in data migration into Drupal. Moshe has lead Drupal development in web projects such as New York Observer, American Cancer Society, and Flisolo.
