open source

Here's a blurb from http://cashmusic.org:

CASH Music is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Our software will provide a set of open source applications that will provide musicians the ability to communicate, promote and sell products directly to their audience. We want our software and engineers to set the pace and provide an alternative to the media giants.

Sustainability for artists is the goal, and an open source solution gives musicians and coders the power to build solutions together. We can’t rely on Facebook, the RIAA, or even Apple to invent a new model that works with the best interests of artists in mind. Let's create those models together.

The secret is out – Drupal has become the ‘go-to’ open source software for the publication and management of website content. By pairing Drupal with cloud technologies there is a whole new world of user benefits well beyond scale and performance.

In this session, Bret Piatt, director, technical alliances at Rackspace Hosting will discuss how to best take advantage of cloud technologies with Drupal sites. The panel presentation will address:

• Leveraging the cloud ecosystem for managing configuration, code, and backups
• How to scale Drupal clusters by integrating with cloud APIs

Hey everyone,

This was mentioned at the meetup, but I wanted to post it here as well. I received a message from Clint Savage at the Utah Open Source Foundation, one the people who run the Utah Open Source Conference. They've given me a promo code for the Utah Open Source Conference 2009 to pass on to everyone. It's good for 50% off the Full Access Pass to the 2009 conference, making it only $35 from the normal registration price of $70.

Everyone should definitely check out Angie Byron a.k.a webchick's keynote on Women in Open Source. She was awesome (and so was Liza Kindred).

The overall numbers are shockingly bad, BUT in the Drupal community, we are lucky to have webchick. On top of her many contributions to the community she has made it one of her goals to help get women involved. This Drupalchix group is a small example of her efforts.

• Read the post
• Download the slides
• Watch the keynote

Hello All,

I'm one of the volunteer user group organizers for Open Source Bridge [http://opensourcebridge.org], the all-volunteer developers' conference being held in Portland this summer from June 17-19. I wanted to let everyone know there's an open call for presentations. Registration is open as well.

We have one free ticket to distribute to the Portland Drupal UG. There's also a discount code for registration: osb4228.

Please reply to this post if you're interested in the free pass, and I'll randomly select someone from the group

First I would love to tell everyone about Flourish. http://flourishconf.com/

"Welcome to the Flourish 2009 Open Source Conference site! Our goal is to promote the use of open source and provide a gathering place for open source enthusiasts in the Chicagoland area. This will be our third Flourish Conference, and although times are tough, this year we're working even harder to make this conference the best one yet!"

Cost = FREE!

Friday April 3rd & Saturday April 4th
9:00 am - 5:00 pm.

Hi DrupalChix!

I just got back from my first DrupalCon, and had the BEST time!! I don't think I got to meet many of you in person, so I'm saying hi now, and will be more active here in the future :)

Here's the link to my video (less than 2 min):

I'm on a drupal high after the conference, and am now trying to get new people excited about drupal too.

Hope you guys managed to avoid the drupal plague!
