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.

The next meeting is on 6 March.
Yesterday we considered that it would be a better place with hotspot to choose. Since all present for Kreuzberg expressed here my proposal for the meeting place.
