3. Angry Donuts 27/June/2011 Presenter: Guy Bedford “ Earl Miles is a permanent member and founder of the Drupal Association. In 2005, Earl found Drupal and thought it was exactly the kind of thing that he wanted for a website he was building in his spare time. Then he found out that Drupal lacked a couple of features here and there; so Earl ignored work for about three weeks and created the Views module, which has been instrumental in Drupal's continued growth.” http://2011.doitwithdrupal.com/speakers/earl-miles
