On my way to the DrupalCon!

DrupalCon Chicago

As you have heard perhaps, Drupal's biggest annual event starts next week.  That is this year's North American DrupalCon an expected crowd of over 3000 participants draw, and offer something for a variety of Drupalers and future Drupalers, as well as Web developers and designers in General.  I am very excited about next week event, like me, believe it will offer some fantastic programming options, as well as a fitting venue Drupal's tenth year to celebrate.

As Drupal continues to grow adoption and community participation, the DrupalCon event is necessarily grown with the project and the community.  Events that must of this area not only the core Drupal developer, meet, many of which are involved in for many years, but provide options for the new Drupal, the evaluating Drupal, as well as the non-developers of business audience.  It is a, but after a conversation with one of the organizers of DrupalCon Chicago, George Demet, founder and CEO of Palantir, I have some pretty high expectations.

This year's event include the more peripheral events, which should provide a wider audience than previous DrupalCons.  For the first time the Expo part of the event have a full day stage, and have a dedicated, separate space.  It will be interesting to see how this will affect the general feeling of the event, but I do get to emphasis the impression that it is catering for a business-oriented target group used a structured conferences and can measure.  There is a dedicated community trace, which should help keep at least some of the intimate feel of a community oriented event.

With the recent release of Drupal 7 and some recent interesting moves within the Drupal community, it is certainly a fun time to get together with Drupalers.  It is also a great time to get involved with the Drupal community if you are looking for lamp developers work.  The demand for Drupal get to accelerate talent continue to grow, and with tons of content aimed at developers with Drupal 7, I think that the DrupalCon may be a pretty great place to be if you have made of the harsh economic times, we all are likely still experience.

I am particularly interested in more about what the great minds of the installation functions are technology up to listen.  The recent acquisition of open atrium, the Drupal-based intranet tool has legitimized more Drupal as a product platform, and could be yet another way for increased Drupal adoption in enterprise environments as.  I am a bit of a fan of you, so I'm curious to see what you have on the horizon.

There are to much look forward to the next week, and if you play your cards right, get possibly an autographed copy of this month Linux Journal of Webchick itself!  There is even a Lullabot sponsored fashion show.  Seriously, what is not happy about the DrupalCon Chicago?  I'm excited, and I hope that many of you see it!

What species do you relate the most, and why?

Once upon a time, ended on the perceived limitations of the race question, Star Trek.

How wear costumes, who played Uhura stuck in sexism, prompted Martin Luther King Jr. To remain as an example of America at the beginning a way from the white/black racism.

But the later series more irritating in which on a growing group of racial ghettos.

The "coolest" sites were safe, in ST: TNG with Picard interaction with Klingon politics. But things sure dropped the TOS days, where, while it was * practical *, Tribble Klingons could see they were not racially limited to his blood wine drinking "Vikings in the region."

The "obvious bias" is safe, as geeks, interacting with computers, we probably have tendency to Vulcan-ish racism.
