First off, for those of you still clueless about the pronunciation of Szeged, a handy hint: the Hungarian for sex is szex, pronounced exactly the same (based on my observation of a sign for a "Szex Shop" in Budapest). So basically, just ignore the z.

I have just left the beautiful little city with its gorgeous architecture, wonderful thermal baths, and great bars and restaurants, having had to tear myself away from DrupalCon which is not quite at an end: there's a code sprint tomorrow which I'm really sorry to be missing, but client projects call and I need to get back to Vancouver. I can't complain though - I've had four really amazing days.

I'm just in from a fantastic day 1 of DrupalCon here in Szeged. This is a beautiful town and extremely welcoming of us Drupalers - this is how welcoming: the vice-mayor of Szeged himself gave a brief talk to welcome us this morning. He explained that before becoming a vice-mayor he actually used to be a software engineer, and that the City of Szeged administration is very pro-open source, using Open Office and "an open source content management system" for their website. Admitting that it was actually Joomla drew good-natured cries of "we can change that!" from the audience. I think everyone was really chuffed to be greeted like that by such a representative from the city, especially when he clearly shared so many common interests with us. It set the day off on a great note.

I've submitted a proposal to the DrupalCon Szeged site for a tutorial session on jQuery in Drupal. I'd reallly like to get two co-presenters on board to structure it into three 30-minute tutorials, each covering two or three of the following suggested topics:

• how jQuery and Drupal relate to each other
• keeping up with jQuery versions
• the Drupal js object
• how behaviors are handled in Drupal 6
• AJAXifying Drupal with jQuery
• debugging JavaScript with Firebug
• AHAH and Drag&Drop
