Can you change the block on
http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/conference-info
that says
"Drupalcon Boston 2008 registration is closed, please contact admin 
if you would like to register."

to
"The Drupalcon Boston 2008 team is working hard to finalize 
conference details before opening registration and the session 
proposal system."

Not 5 min before you posted this I sent a question to the site admin 
wondering how the event could have possibly filled up already.

I see on http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/logistics/3
under the section Visas

NOTE, however, that the Drupal Association is not a U.S. entity, and 
thus is not able to provide a Letter of Invitation, which may be 
required (and the lack of which may prevent you from attending this 
Drupalcon.)

Is it possible for the Drupal Association to help coordinate getting 
some of the US based sponsors (once they are known) to write the 
necessary invitations to help facilitate a broader international 
presence?

see you there.
