Comment #7
eojthebraveThis looks good to me. Thanks for adding the bit about reporting issues. The only other thing I might consider adding for this issue would be a link to http://www.drupical.com/ either under the "Attend an event" heading, or under the additional resources section. I think that this site (which simply aggregates events form groups.drupal.org/events is a much easier to way to locate local/regional events. Any objections?
I'm also interested in maybe changing the wording of this sentence a little bit:
The Drupal project has a world-wide community of developers and users, and there are many ways that you can connect with it:Maybe something like the following. I like the idea of highlighting that getting involved is a great way to continue your learning. Especially since this comes towards the end of the guide where people are likely starting to ask themselves, "What next?"
The Drupal project has a world-wide community of developers and users, one of the best ways to improve your knowledge of the platform is to connect with others that are using it and get involved in the open-source community. There are many ways that you can get started:Thoughts about making either of these changes? I'm not committed to either so if we don't think they fit no worries.

Here's an updated version.
