Dear Drupalistas

My session is one of the finalists for FreePress.net's National Conference for Media Reform in Boston, but I need YOUR vote to help it make the final list.

The conference will focus on media reform, media policy and media activism, and will be an important opportunity to promote Drupal the Open Media Project, Open Source and Community Media to the many local and national attendees.

Please vote here: Open Sourcing Community Media - http://agenda.freepress.net/?i=63
(You need to quickly register for your vote to count, but heck it’s a Drupal site.)

And please show the love to another panel with Drupal at its core, organized by Benjamin Melancon:
Uniting Visions: Democratic Communication within and among Organizations - Benjamin Melancon, Visions Unite - http://agenda.freepress.net/?i=90

Cheers
Craig
