The Southwest Drupal Summit is happening at the end of this month in Houston, TX & they've got some great speakers lined up: http://swdrupalsummit.com/. Katherine Druckman, aka "Webmistress", from Linux Journal & I got to chatting after she posted a D7 is released article: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/drupal-7-officially-here. Long story short, she gave us a $50 off coupon for the event.

The Los Angeles DrupalCon 2009 proposal has been updated at http://groups.drupal.org/node/9422

The proposal was submitted to the Drupal Association today on behalf of the Los Angeles Drupal Users.

Please review it, ask questions and/or comment.

Thanks!

Hi All,

Christefano and I have started a group for Drupallers in Santa Barbara and the surrounding area to get to know each other, and organize local meet-ups and other events. If you are in the area please join up and say hello!

I recently attended DrupalCon Barcelona, where I floated the idea to the Drupal Association Board of having a DrupalCon in the Los Angeles area in the Spring of 2009. To make this happen, we would need at least four people who would be willing to commit a significant amount of time and energy between now and the event.

If you are interested in working on this, please speak up. If there is sufficient interest, I will put together an organizing meeting where we can start planning a proposal.

I have already made exploratory contact with potential sponsors.
