We're really excited to announce that Mac's Brewery Bar & Restaurant will be the location of DrupalSouth Wellington 2010. The Brewery bar is right on Wellington central city's waterfront, between Te Papa and the Wellington Convention Centre. Yes, that means it's less than 300 metres from Linux.conf.au Wellington 2010 which is the week leading up to DrupalSouth!
We're also excited to announce the website for the event at Wellington2010.DrupalSouth.net.nz where announcements will be made and where you will be able to register in the near future. Subscribe to the RSS feed to get the latest news.
The function room at Mac's is upstairs, so it has great views over Wellington harbour. With the mid-summer dates we have booked, we are confident the balcony will be wll used. And perhaps most importantly – keeping in the tradition of DrupalSouth – there is a bar with beer on tap and a brewery at the back!
Mac's brewery is also right next door to the NZ stock exchange building (NZX) and Circa Theatre. Here's a google map of the venue showing just how close it is to LCA;
We've also confirmed that Angela Byron (webchick), Addisun Berry (add1sun), Emma Jane Hogbin (emmajane) and Liz Henry will be attending these dates.
We have three sponsors on board that have made this possible and still have space for a few more. Contact us before it's too late!. Thank you to

We are working on getting a good internet link into the venue. At this stage the best option would be to install our own backhaul from the NZX building where Citylink's fibre network extends to. However we need contacts in the NZX building who are willing to help us out. Please contact us if you can help.
