We Drupaler's of the Pacific Northwest have been given a special offer for Open Web Vancouver 2009 on June 11/12. The first 10 people using the discount code: DRUPALISTA at registration get 25% off on their ticket.
This is going to a great conference. Not only are Drupal notables like Angie Byron, Karoly Negyesi, and James Walker presenting, there's many presentations relevant to what's happening in the Drupal community. There's presentations on mobile technology, mashups and cloud computing, and Vancouver Drupal's favorite son, Boris Mann, is speaking on semantic web. I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention presentations by locals Rick Vugteveen and Djun Kim.
The other big news revolves around the City of Vancouver's Open City initiative. The conference organizers are working with the City of Vancouver IT and City Council to help promote the new Open City initiative. There will be a talk from David Eaves and Councilor Andrea Reimer on this new initiative by the city to open up their data, as well as a workshop on Friday afternoon with City IT Staff to brainstorm on the possibilities.
