Working Plans for OSCon 2008
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.

Something at OSCon
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.
Are you interested in a Drupal Con/Camp before OSCON in July 2008?
This group is focused on planning events to coincide with the yearly O'Reilly Open Source Convention in Portland, Oregon.
