information follows below.
The full announcement may be found at http://www.joomlanyc.org/

"In a talk that's sure to be simultaneously
 light-hearted and heavy-hitting, Forest Mars breaks
 down the differences (and some similarities) between
 the Joomla! and Drupal content management systems,
 neither of which, it should be noted, are even in the
 top 10 of CMSes (according to a secret study not
 released by Google.) The talk is aimed primarily at
 Joomla! developers who want to see how the other half
 lives, which is somewhat logical since migration from
 Drupal to Joomla is a bit like driving the wrong way
 during a Grand Prix."

"Forest Mars is a Web Developer and Network Architect
 best known for starting New York's Only Free Internet
 Cafe and the first Wireless ISP in Manhattan. He is
 currently working on a Video-on-Demand system for
 smart phones, but then who isn't? Contact him directly
 via forest-at-bway-dot-net."
