drupalcon

In 2007 I made a small comment on Dries' blog that what Drupal needed was a book on Drupal for the end user. Fast forward three years and I still haven't written that book although J. Ayen Green wrote something close to what I had in mind. Instead I wrote a book designed for new developers coming over to Drupal, it is entitled Beginning Drupal (7).

Are you presenting at Drupalcon D.C? Rock it!

Drupalcon D.C is nearly upon us and the registration is slammed shut full. The D.C team found extra room released a few more tickets and hired white gloved people to shove everyone into rooms Japanese Subway style. This is going to be the largest and most packed Drupalcon ever. This is your chance to address hundreds and thousands of Drupalers about your module/API/technique/process or <Insert name of your session >. Put your best foot forward and rock your session.

Today I began a discussion on the future of Drupalcon. I have copied the text here so that you don't have to click over immediately. The conversation, however, is taking place on the original piece so please click over to comment.

Drupalcon has grown from a small conference for a few folks to a much larger conference with hundreds and, possibly, thousands of attendees. The benefits of a bigger conference is that we reach out to a larger audience and introduce more people to Drupal and to its development. A larger conference, however, takes more time to plan and prepare for. In order to give conference organizers the time they need the Drupal Association has decided on the following deadlines

I just posted the announcement for the Drupalcon Schwag Swap. I have been talking about it with people for quite some time but nows its official. I want to meet people from all over the world at Drupalcon D.C and come home with stickers/buttons/shirt from their communities. I think its absolutely awesome how large and diverse the Drupal community has become. Lets meetup and swap!   Here is the description, theBoF session is listed here.  ------------
