I recently attended the Drupal4Gov BOF at DrupalCon Baltimore and was told that government folks are more likely to attend to Drupal events that have specific content targeted at them. Is this true?

I am curious if there are any government folks who use Drupal and would be interested in a 1/2 to full day Drupal 4 Government Summit at Twin Cities Drupal camp this year.

This is not an official announcement, just a probe to find out if there is any interest in the local community. This is something that I would be interest in facilitating, if there is sufficient interest.

There are a few sponsorship opportunities left for Drupal GovCon 2015 (July 22-24), including our brand-new Scavenger Hunt! Companies and even freelancers can buy a square on our "bingo"-style board, and use the opportunity to drive attendees to your social media, session, or booth. The grand prize is a MacBook Pro and we expect most of the 850 attendees to participate.

Drop an email to drupal4gov [at] gmail [dot] com for more information or to reserve your square before they're all gone!

• Install a fully featured, New Zealand government standards compliant Drupal 7 website in under 10 minutes.
• WCAG 2.0 Level AA out of box!

The Opportunity

Drupal within New Zealand is primed for an outpouring of growth and acceptance in usage. Particularly within NZ's government sector. Imagine... Drupal as the preferred government solution in New Zealand!

The Calling

This year, there will be two Drupal government days. One in Europe (yet to be announced) and one in North America, DC to be specific.

The North American conference will be held at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. The event is a joint conference with Mil-OSS and will have multiple tracks this year and span 2 days. More information is available on our splash page http://drupal4gov.drupalgardens.com/

Maybe we should start a new wiki for Governments with their own UID?

We've started creating a curriculum for the Drupal4Gov ladder and will be doing our first Learning Sprint on August 29th. We will plan future Learning and Issue sprints and hope folks in governments around the world will going us in building government specific info into the ladder.
