This Module Doesn't Work Right (And What You Can Do About It)
The great appeal of using Drupal for a project is the incredible wealth of contributed modules available on Drupal.org. For just about any functionality you might need, someone else has needed it before you—and released a solution for you to use.
However, not all of these modules are bulletproof, and a lot will be ALMOST (but not quite) what you need—or it will do what you need, but not at all in the way you need it done. This session will cover how to use the issue queue to report bugs in modules, what to do when you're not sure how to fix them, and how to approach a module that needs a little work before it will solve your problem.

This is an extremely important topic that often goes unnoticed. It is the lifeblood of Drupal. Training the Community to build, extend, and maintain both contrib and core will keep Drupal alive (and on top), and it all starts in the issue queue!
Often you find out a contrib module only gets you ~95% of the way. This talk sounds really helpful for getting that extra 5% done AND giving it back to the community!
