Related to that, how about Drupal as an application framework rather than CMS? Is anyone but me silly enough to do that? :-)
Oddly enough, I proposed this for O'Reilly OSCON but was turned down, I'll touch on this topic, twice. Once in "Enterprise" Drupal [1] and once in Using Drupal with External Data Sources [2]. I also put in a session for Drupal and the Future of News [3], which addresses Dries' "blogging v. journalism" topic. +1 for "Dating a Drupal developer". FWIW, I am coordinating the partner/wife/husband/friend meetup for those traveling with but not attending the con.
