[development] DrupalCon Boston, March 3rd - 6th, 7th Drupal Sprint

[Kieran Lal]

The Drupal Association <http://association.drupal.org/>[image: BCEC] is
pleased to announce that the next Drupalcon will be held in Boston,
Massachusetts, USA from March 3 - 6, 2008 in the Boston Convention and
Exhibition Center <http://www.bostonconventioncenter.com/>.

This Drupalcon represents two big advancements for Drupalcon.

   - Larger capacity. The last two Drupalcon's have sold out, capped at
   450 people. Depending on final arrangements we may be able to handle 700 at
   this event.
   - Community expansion. Drupalcon is being held at the same time/place
   as AIIM International Exposition &
Conference<http://www.aiimexpo.com/aiimexpo2007/v42/index.cvn?id=10197>,
   the largest content management technology conference in North America.
   Though technically independent of each other, the Boston team is working to
   arrange some cross-event access. The goal: introduce Drupal to thousands of
   potential new Drupalers.

The Drupalcon Boston 2008 team is working hard to finalize conference
details before opening registration and the session proposal system. We are
also just now finalizing sponsorship packages. *Watch
boston2008.drupalcon.org and the drupal.org home page (rss
feed<http://groups.drupal.org/rss.xml>)
for future announcements*. In the mean time, start making your travel
arrangements and gathering your session proposal information.

The Drupal Association <http://association.drupal.org/> encourages potential
organizers from the community to start preparing proposals for the fall 2008
Europe Drupalcon and the spring 2009 North America Drupalcon. We are also
interested in hosting Drupalcons in other parts of the world.
