One observation I've had from lurking in the Knight Drupal Initiative meetings is something that's haunted me before. If only I was good at writing a solid grant proposal and subsequent review and revisions, some of my pie-in the sky ideas might actually turn into something valuable for the community (and provide a self-sustainable way for me to contribute).

To promote continued growth of our local community i would like to start providing some "free" stuff to the group. I havent identified just what is it that we need to help us grow, but lets not have this put a stop to our plans.

Here are some of the things that i believe may/will be useful for our group:

Drupal Boston 2008 is taking place March 3 to March 6, with a code sprint on March 7 at MIT.

See details here http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/

As you can see from the budget below, the attendance fee does not cover all the costs. http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/drupalcon-budget

Therefore, any form of financial support is appreciated. If you are a Drupal user or a Drupal shop, please discuss this with your manager and find ways to spread around the word, so all the costs are covered.

Attention Drupal companies - FrOSCon 2007 is seeking sponsors. EUR300 is enough to become a bronze sponsor and have your company logo next to MySQL's. FrOSCon is dedicating a large lecture hall with a projector, a smaller "hackers" room, wifi, air conditioning, food for the presenters, and swag, all so that we can have a dedicated Drupal track. Becoming at least a bronze sponsor is a great way to show our appreciation to them for this effort, and to help make FrOSCon 2007 a defining moment for the German Drupal community.

DrupalCon Sunnyvale (part of the OSCMSS) needs Cash sponsors to help defray some of the OSCMS costs as well as fund coding rooms on Sunday (and maybe saturday) as well as some other miscellaneous expenses.

Any money that is not used For DrupalCon (anything left over) will go towards The Drupal Association.

Please post a comment or contact me directly if you are interested in sponsoring.
