drupalcon

Did anyone attend the Boston Drupalcon 2008? If you did, do you mind sharing your experience? I am looking to attend the next Drupalcon this year. Who is interested in going to that?

Hey all,
This is my first post on groups.drupal.org. I attended Drupalcon last week, and it was my first opportunity to learn about Drupal.

Attached I have shared the first revision summary of lessons I learned over the week at the conference. I created the document to help new Drupalers figure where to go for Drupal resources/site building help. I encourage everyone to check it out, you may find some information on Drupal resources you never knew about.

For those of you that weren't able to attend Drupalcon Boston 2008, here are some links to some of the Presentation Slides that are hosted on people's individual blogs/sites:

We had an excellent BoF session about the state of gaming in Drupal, focusing mainly on the RPG module. Although I would like to point people to a really awesome Facebook/Drupal game written by one of the participants, only I don't remember his name or have his card handy... Maybe someone else can point to that?

Hi Folks,
Yesterday I just found RobLoach here in Boston DrupalCon, and he told me that Soxofaan is here also, so...
Why don't we do a Captcha code sprint tomorrow?

cheers
Fabiano Sant'Ana

Recap of the first topic of my last message, for emphasis:

The obvious topic for the March newsletter is the DrupalCon, of course. There are over 800 people here, though and we need to recruit people to write up their favorite session/s. If you are at the conference, please write up at least one session, and/or find three other people who can write up a session. We only need a paragraph or two, but feel free to write up a whole big article if you're inspired.

This DrupalCon has been phenomenal! We had an impromptu BoF session yesterday for the Drupal Newsletter. The three big things that came out of that were a plan for March's newsletter, the newsletter length, and building a stand-alone site for the newsletter.

I'm glad I ran into the birds of a feather session. I just wanted to start a thread so we could continue the discussion started there.

I'll start by saying that you should probably update the group's description to make it clear that mostly people would know PEG as Public Access Television.

Tuesday, March 4th, 1:45 to 3:15

We'll be having a followup BoF Thursday morning at 9:00 AM. All interested parties, we'll see you there.

These notes were taken during the session by John Jones, with some minor notes added in after the fact.

AUTHENTICATION

To all News folk at DrupalCon this week - just noticed the DrupalCon BoF event posting below and thought I'd post here to raise visibility. I didn't get a chance to meet others at Lucky's yesterday (raucous fun, but not too conducive to conversation!). Come on by if you're interested in Knight or just want to chat over Drupal.
