The old way of selecting and planning Drupalcons sites hasn't been working. Turns out we didn't really allot enough time for the necessary infrastructure ground work to be done.
But, we've learned a lot:
- We learned that organizers needed more then a year to schedule, reserve space, and get contracts signed, especially with the continued amazing growth in attendance at each successive conference.
- We learned that we needed professional assistance to help with things like better communications with the community, sponsors, vendors, organizers.
- We learned that focusing just on programming, scheduling and speakers is a large enough task to warrant its own dedicated team
As a result, the Association will be changing our process to build a new module for DrupalCons. Hence this group.
