Finally had a work day with some breathing room this week - it's been a while - and I was able to climb up the Drupal Git learning curve (not difficult) and release the updated for Drupal 7 Insert Block module and the new Signup Node Spawn module which I created for work a few months back.
I presented a session on "Essential Drupal Modules" at today's Boise Code Camp. The talk highlighted the modules most every Drupal installation should have, as well as a number of gap-fitting modules that fill a few UI and functionality deficits found in Drupal core. Additionally I included a segment on finding and evaluating modules.
