I'm declaring the week of OSCON as a media and files code sprint in Portland Oregon.

Time is running short but there is a lot of momentum for having something as OSCon 2008. We also have some great people in Portland so lets get organized and bring some Drupal to OSCon 2008! This is a WIKI to help us manage who is doing what, deadlines, etc. etc.

Attendees

if you will/can be at OSCon (in person, not in spirit) add your name here

• Nate Angell (nato@drupal.org; my blog)
• Andrew Morton (drewish@drupal.org)

I'm seeing the love for a DrupalCamp to be handled in May (which is awesome) but what about having something during or, even better, at OSCon? The deadline for submitting sessions/proposals is fast approaching.
