Hi all,

We would like to invite press and analysts to attend and/or write about DrupalCon Prague. Do you have any journalist or analyst contacts who would be interested in attending and could you help to invite them? I've written an invitation which you can use or modify: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13YHtc_I9dDTazhn8bBAzKYHI30Lk5sfFyTQc...

If you do plan to send an invitation, can you include that in comments so we can limit duplication? Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

At DrupalCon Portland, a small group got together to discuss Drupal in Latin America. We talked about the challenges and the opportunities of spreading Drupal in our region.

A Retrospect for 2013 so far

In a retrospect, the first 4 months of 2013 went amazingly well in Latin America. In 5 DrupalCamps, we were able to reach 1250 people!

With our app, you won’t be sitting around saying, “Well I don’t know… What do you wanna do?” We’ve researched, deliberated, and made some cut-throat decisions to compile our list of the best things to do in Portland. Our fun, interactive app lets you live it up at DrupalCon by showing you what’s going on at the conference and the hot spots to check out in Portland, along with making it easy to connect with other Drupal lovers. Explore Portland the easy way. Choose from 7 different categories—food, coffee, breweries, biking, hiking, gardens, and film.

We had a great Churches BOF this year at DrupalCon Portland. We had a full room and a great discussion on a a variety of topics. Please use this thread to add notes related to the BOF discussion.

Next week Ezra, Joseph, and Jakob will all be at Drupalcon to further the goals of Commons and COD, two distributions supported by Acquia.

My hopes for COD is to get another update since the Alpha2 release we did at Sandcamp. Its unfortunate that it seems updates only occur after camp, but on the otherhand it just shows how much can get done when we have the community working in the same room as each other!

These are my basic goals:
* Scale the gaps between COD6 and COD7, make a MOSCOW chart to prioritize what needs to be done.

Hello Everyone,

Patrick said at the last meeting that GRCC was sending him to Drupalcon Portland http://portland2013.drupal.org/.

So next month (June) we will be recapping the Drupalcon Portland 2013 experience. If anyone else is going, please join us next month to share what you've seen and heard!

Unfortunately, my plans have changed and I wont be able to make it to DrupalCon Portland. So, my earlybird ticket is now available.

If you're planning to go, but don't have a ticket yet, please consider buying mine at a significant savings.

Thanks.

UPDATE: This ticket has already been transferred.

I bought my ticket months ago and have been eagerly awaiting my third DrupalCon. Then I broke my foot a week ago and need surgery. So, I have a ticket available and all I want is what I paid for it - $400. You can get tickets for two more days for $550 and then $600 on site. This is a great bargain! I even have a hotel room booked across the street. So buy my ticket and I'll transfer the hotel reservation to your name too! Send me a message at e.delgado@pghtechministries.org.
