[GLLUG] Penguicon Volunteer Schedule

[Clay Dowling]

There's an extension of the drupal event module for volunteer signup.  I 
propose that we integrate that into our website, which seems like a better 
solution.  Nothing against the dabble db, but why not use the resources we 
already have, rather than spreading our resources over a bunch of sites?

"Event Manager" and "Event with volunteer time slots" are the two most 
obvious ones.  Neither has been ported to version 6, but I think the site 
is still on version 5, so that's cool.
