Henrijs Šešo	I am Riga based communication professional and started my journey as graphic designer photoshoping wrinkles off models in shampoo ads until one day I realized that the sky is the limit. It later turned out "sky" is a broad term. Today I try to reach the sky of meaningful content strategy, usable web design and building engaged communities online. Four years ago in Mexico I set myself a task to find best open source content management thingy that could help me prototype awesome stuff I had in my head. I downloaded, installed and tested them all and one of them stood out. This week I will talk in DrupalCamp Baltics and spread a gospel of Drupal - my favorite array mover ;)
