Great article about Dries: 2008 Young Innovator Award

Excerpt:

The diversity of its users has led to many improvements, Buytaert says: "The size, passion, and velocity of the Drupal community makes incredible things happen." There are tens of thousands of active Drupal installations worldwide. Thousands of developers have contributed to the system's core, and more than 2,000 plug-ins have been added by outside contributors.

Dries Buytaert is in Montreal for the ooPSLA conference. We're going to have a Drupal dinner!

When: Tuesday, October 23, 2007, 6PM - ???
Where: Commensal, 1720 St-Denis Street (Map)

Did you know Dries is going to be in town?

Tuesday night is free for him, so hopefully some folks can make it out. I've put 7pm as the suggested time, we could do a bit earlier as well.

Update: set to 5pm at the Rose and Raindrop.

P.S. Sorry for parachuting in to the group...I'm going to be in town to see Dries and he doesn't have time to organize anything. I have no idea on locations. On Monday night, I'm going to a Geek Dinner at the Blue Moon Tavern. Dries is staying at the Marriot Courtyard, so something vaguely in the vicinity would be good.
