Features Module Presentation - BADCamp 2011

Here's the presentation for my presentation at BADCamp 2011:

Hiring the Best People in Drupal

Are you looking for new Drupal talent? Hiring the best people from the Drupal development community can be tough if your company does not have any Drupal expertise in house.
