DrupalCon CxO: Registration now open!
HI Everyone,
I hope you can attend the DrupalCon Portland CxO event on May 20th. It's a time for Drupal business owners to network and solve common business challenges at the Open Forum that will be moderated by Jeff Walpole of Phase2 Technology.
I'm sure Drupal marketing will remain a hot topic at this event.
Be sure to sign up sooner than later because seating is limited.
You can find details and registration here: http://portland2013.drupal.org/cxo
Thanks for considering!
Megan

Marketing Fundraising Brainstorm
The Drupal Branding And Marketing Committee {BAM} needs your help!
We are trying to come up with Fundraising Ideas and we would like to hear ideas from you. These ideas must be NEW and not pull funds away from existing sources that already support the Drupal Association.
Where Does The Money Go?
BAM is working on some BIG goals. You can participate in the conversation here on GDO. Right now, we are working on several initiatives that each would require a financial outlay. Plus, we are planning for a significant investment throughout 2013 for the launch of Drupal 8. Our ideas include the purchase of print ads, video production, swag, exhibit booth materials, printed material, professional analysis services, and much more.
Who Is / What Is BAM?
BAM is a grassroots committee, led by Ben Finklea, that exists under the DA and consists of at least one board member and an international cast of independent Drupalers, shop owners, marketers, designers, themers, and coders, who volunteer their time, talents, and resources to place Drupal in the best position possible for future growth via Branding and Marketing. Read more about the creation of BAM in the official announcement by the DA. https://association.drupal.org/about/staff/marketing-branding-committee

Some thoughts on the process
I have been tracking the conversations in here. It's good to see things are moving on this front. From reading the discussions so far, these are my thoughts on the process I see:
Time-boxing is good, closing comments is not.
Especially after only an handful of comments and only a couple of days. There's Drupal people in all of the timezones all over the world. Give things a bit more time. Why close comments at all, why not be clear on where you are in the process without shutting down avenues for further discussion?
Leave room for the discussion to evolve

Support travellers?
To remove any doubt: I mean "Support" as in "provide the facilities to connect" - not as in "give money".
Let's explore the thought.. It's great that we have facilities in place to discuss ideas through forums, though we miss out on the personal connection that are also possible and necessary. And as it was mentioned in another thread, international DrupalCon's can only happen a certain places at certain times... What happens between the con's?
Many Drupalists travel extensively,
some travel because of their work,
some travel as a lifestyle.
