Australia wide

Does anybody have recommendations for high end Drupal hosting in Australia?

I'm looking for a managed solution with great support, uptime & scalability for a handful of large sites currently hosted with AWS ( 10M page views, 10+ TB of data per month).

TIA

Here are some upcoming workshops that designers and front-end developers may be interested in.
These workshops are Not Drupal specific, CSS is universal.

Building Responsive Websites

Presenter: Russ Weakley

This workshop will give you the skills and knowledge you need to be able to build Responsive Websites. Using a range of hands-on exercises, the workshop will:

11 March 2013 - Canberra
14 March 2013 - Brisbane
19 March 2013 - Sydney
20 March 2013 - Melbourne

Just a final post to thank everyone that attended DrupalCon Sydney, and to all the sponsors, speakers and volunteers that helped make it happen - it definitely surpassed all expectations!

Only 2 days left until we kick off in Coogee!

Sydney is looking like turning on some amazing weather from Wednesday onwards, with sunny skies, light north winds and temperatures between 24 - 34 degrees. Pack those hats and sunscreen, and remember to swim between the flags if you're taking a dip between sessions.

If you're arriving from overseas or interstate, we recommend grabbing a taxi from the airport to the hotel as the most direct route. Sydneysiders can grab a 30min bus from downtown (http://www.131500.com.au), or limited parking is available at the hotel for $18 per day.

We're in the final stretch now, and everything's shaping up for an amazing DrupalCon Sydney. Even the weather looks like it'll cooperate for the most part!

The main thing to pay attention to is the schedule is now live at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/program/schedule

Drupal Business Day has been selling strongly in the past couple of weeks, and we're now down to the last batch of tickets if you're planning to attend. http://sydney2013.drupal.org/drupal-business-day

Hey everyone

I can unfortunately (!) not attend our awesome DrupalCon Sydney, so I need to get rid of my ticket for this.
A bit last minute I know, but. Is there still people out there who need a ticket?

If so, then either contact me here or on twitter: tinefin.

Would love it if I can find someone.

Cheers

We'll be finalising numbers shortly for the full week of Drupal Training courses running after DrupalCon Sydney from Feb 11-15.

The courses range from the introductory Drupal in a Day through to advanced Module Development, with Site Building and Theming in between, all following Acquia's globally recognised curriculum.

DrupalCon attendees get 20% off regular fees, so check out all the details and sign up now at http://www.learndrupal.com.au/drupalcon

We've just published a page listing planned social activities for DrupalCon Sydney at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/social-activities

This kicks off on Wednesday afternoon at 4pm with casual drinks following the Drupal Business Day and training at the Oceans Bar in the Crowne Plaza hotel, and is open to all conference attendees.

Thanks to everybody who registered on Friday to ensure we had the numbers to run Drupal Business Day.

If you missed out on tickets for the main conference, this is now the only DrupalCon event with tickets remaining. DrupalCon ticket holders also need to register separately for Drupal Business Day.

It's an ideal opportunity to hear how Drupal and open source technology is being used in large organisations like the Australian Government, SBS and FlightCentre, and to have your questions addressed by a panel of international experts.

I hope we dodge a 45º day for DrupalCon - Sydney's melting around our ears at the moment ;-)

The cut off for minimum registrations for the Drupal Business Day is today, so if you've been wavering about attending, now's your last chance to help ensure it goes ahead. It's a fantastic alternative if you've missed out on tickets to the main conference, and a fun extension for anyone wanting to experience all four days of the event.

Check out the speaker line up and register for the fully catered day before 6pm today at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/drupal-business-day
