The Drupal Association is pleased to announce that the next Drupalcon will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, USA from March 3 - 6, 2008 in the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.

This Drupalcon represents two big advancements for Drupalcon.

• Larger capacity. The last two Drupalcon's have sold out, capped at 450 people. Depending on final arrangements we may be able to handle 700 at this event.
• Community expansion. Drupalcon is being held at the same time/place as AIIM International Exposition & Conference, the largest content management technology conference in North America. Though technically independent of each other, the Boston team is working to arrange some cross-event access. The goal: introduce Drupal to thousands of potential new Drupalers.

The Drupalcon Boston 2008 team is working hard to finalize conference details before opening registration and the session proposal system. We are also just now finalizing sponsorship packages. Watch boston2008.drupalcon.org and the drupal.org home page (rss feed) for future announcements. In the mean time, start making your travel arrangements and gathering your session proposal information.

The Drupal Association encourages potential organizers from the community to start preparing proposals for the fall 2008 Europe Drupalcon and the spring 2009 North America Drupalcon. We are also interested in hosting Drupalcons in other parts of the world.

Hey guys,

I'm sure everyone's already heard about the upcoming Drupal conference, but just in case.

DrupalCon 2008 will be in Boston from March 3rd - 6th. It should be a fantastic opportunity to connect with and learn from Drupalers all over the world.

I'll be going, and I'll bring back notes and whatever else I can, especially as it relates to Drupal in Asia.

It looks like Jacob Redding (Beijing Drupal group) will be doing a presentation on Drupal in China.

Hi DrupalOLPCers!

I met up with Ian and Benjamin today at Drupal and we are getting together for a BOF tomorrow (Tuesday!) at 3:45 in the (drumroll) BOF-room. If you are around please come by (and bring your XO, if you have one!) and we can hang out and hack :)

Hey folks, so for those who are at drupalcon and would like to say hello to other bay area drupallers, why don't we meet in the BOF room during the 3 pm break this afternoon. (or if you want to schedule another time, go ahead)

I'll be there, probably looking dazed since i still haven't recovered from the redeye flight yesterday.
