tagline: turn your conference into a community. We should review the screenshots and the app itself and see what ideas should be put into COD. I still like "Agora" as a name :P

all the submitted papers will have a link to the conference event page
conference event node shows a list of submitted paper titles
submitted papers are only viewable by the Judge role members only
judges evaluate the papers

Some well known Internet folks are running a web design conference in Vancouver in February 2007:

We’re crossing hemispheres and date lines to bring you the first annual Web Directions North. Put together by designers and developers, for designer and developers, this conference is brought to you by Dave Shea, Derek Featherstone, Maxine Sherrin and John Allsopp."

It's a 2 day conference with optional workshop the day before and 2 days of organized skiing/boarding at Blackcomb Whistler afterwards. Looks cool, but it's not priced like BarCamp!

Conference website: http://north.webdirections.org/

Speakers include:

• Rasmus Lerdorf
  Rasmus Lerdorf is known for having gotten the PHP project off the
  ground in 1995, the mod_info Apache module and he can be blamed for the
  ANSI92 SQL-defying LIMIT clause in mSQL 1.x which has now, at least
  conceptually, crept into both MySQL and PostgreSQL. Prior to joining
  Yahoo! as an infrastructure engineer in 2002, he was at a string of
  companies including Linuxcare, IBM, and Bell Canada working on Internet
  technologies.

• Chris Shiflett

There is a conference coming to Boston in July (6-8) for public, educational and government access television that will have some workshops that may be of interest to this Boston Drupal community. Mostly it covers public access industry, technology and administration, but a few specifically will talk about video and multimedia content distribution across the web. I am not sure what the conference costs but you might want to check it out. I'll link them here:

Hi everyone,

My name is Sammy Spets and i'm a Drupal contributor. Sounds like an AA intro doesn't it? :) Anyway, i've been lurking in the shadows of Drupal for just over two years and have just started contributing.

I was chatting to Kieran Lal, of CivicSpaceLabs fame, and he asked me,
02:27 <Amazon> so when are you going to throw the Drupal ecommerce conference?

You might be asking yourself two questions. Why was Kieran asking Sammy to run a conference? And why was Sammy awake at 02:27 talking to Kieran? Well, the second one is easy, Kieran is your all round good bloke trying to make Drupal part of everyone's life. The first question? I don't know the answer. :)
