Hi Folks,<br><br>A great group of Drupal folks from San Francisco are putting together what looks like a fantastic proposal for DrupalCon 2010.<br><br>They've got a web site launched at: <a href="http://drupalconsf2010.org/" target="_blank">http://drupalconsf2010.org/</a><br>
<br>Unfortunately, the proposed conference dates, March 29 - 31, are during the first two nights of Passover when Jews gather with their families and friends to conduct the Passover "seder," a reenactment of the leaving of Egypt. This is probably the most compelling Jewish ritual there is and even very assimilated Jews take part in this ceremony. There has been a lot of creativity around this ritual in recent years which makes it even more compelling for even marginally religious Jews.<br>
<br>I'm Jewish and I personally know a lot of Jewish Drupal developers. I just think it would be a shame to force us to have to make this choice. <br><br>Anyway, it would be great if folks advocated against these dates in support of Jewish Drupal developers.<br>
<br>I think the best way to voice this right now is on Twitter, though I think I'll start a thread on <a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank">drupal.org</a> and post back here. The relevant Twitter accounts are @DrupalConSF and maybe @dries as well.<br>
<br>Thanks in advance for those who are supportive of this objection.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Shai<br>
