Getting your feet wet - you're not alone (a beginner's resource guide)

Drupal has an amazing community and body of resources for learning, connecting with individuals and entities, and getting involved. But as a beginner or even a tangential/peripheral user, it can take a bit of stumbling, word of mouth, etc. to know what's out there.

This session provides an aggregated introduction of sorts and a walkthrough of some of the most useful resources and tips & tricks I've discovered during my Drupal journey to help others get a jumpstart into the Drupal ecosystem.

Several of the topics to be discussed include:
- A very brief introduction to what Drupal is and does well and a comparison with the pros/cons of other website-building tools
- Drupal.org registration and highlighted resources, including building your profile, following issues, and Planet Drupal
- Getting on Drupal Slack workspace and recommended channels
- Other resources: Drupal events, Drupal.tv, Weekly Drop, etc.

The format may be a follow-along series of pre-recorded examples or a live example tutorial leading an individual through various tasks to connect with community resources.
