There are a lot of ways to run a website. Tons of different software packages, publishing platforms, etc.
One cool open sourced way to do it, is with Drupal. Drupal runs the AskANinja.com site and we’ve been pretty happy with it.
The biggest problem is that everyone who knows Drupal is in high demand, and there isn’t a lot of good, cheap training options available.
So that’s where Drupal Camp comes in.
We weekend after Labor Day Drupal camp takes over the AOL Beverly Hills campus for a rauckus, open-sourced good time.
If you’re into CMSes — and who isn’t these days — drop by and check it out. It’s free, it’s fun, it’s DRUPAL!

About the Author
Kent is a filmmaker and geek living in Los Angeles and is the co-creator of
AskANinja.com.
Born in Orange County, CA, Kent grew up a tall and creative child who wanted to make movies and tell stories.
In high school he was Senior Class President, star of the stage and an average student.
When he left Chico State in 2000, he put his heart and soul into learning how to be a filmmaker. He bought a digital camcorder and an iMac and taught himself everything he could about being a storyteller.
By 2003 Kent was called the "future of the industry" by Scott Billups in his book "Digital Moviemaking Second Edition". That year his film Baggage won the 48 Hour Film Project (Best Film of the Year, Best Film from Los Angeles, Best Writing from LA, and the Los Angeles audience award).
In 2005, Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine created the award-winning series Ask A Ninja. Since then, the series has been viewed over 80 million times, quoted on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, featured in the New York Times Magazine and endorsed on numerous blogs.
Recently, Ask A Ninja was voted the Best Series of 2006 at the YouTube Video Awards and The Ninja was the recipient of the Best Actor Award at the first ever Webby Film and Video Award Ceremony.
Kent also blogs at kentnichols.com and is a contributor to This Week in Media and he has spoken internationally on the topic of new media.
