Drupal programmers, user -experience experts, social-network innovators and web 2.0 entrepreneurs, are invited to attend: NewsTools2008.org at Yahoo! Sunnyvale, April 30-May 3. "Technology and the New Ecology of News: How will technology innovation support journalism and participatory democracy?"

There's a critical mass of folks interested in Drupal here in Ottawa that it is time we got together to meet in person and share a beer or two in order to get to know each other a bit better. There are now several of us who have gone to Drupal Cons, although I think just Peter, Charlotte & myself were the only ones in Boston. Others have made it to Drupal Camps. There are some great Drupal shops in town and lots of keen advocates/users.

Venue: James St Feed Co (although it has a different name now - 390 Bank Street)
