Update

DrupalCon London: Ticket sales are slower than expected but it is still early.
We're seeing a strong shift to a heavy European sponsor base for DrupalCon London.  
DrupalCon Sao Paulo is behind and very expensive.
 

DrupalCon 

DrupalCon is transitioning to a Global team structure

DrupalCon Sao Paulo

The cost of putting on a conference in Sao Paulo is too expensive and not financial viable with our current cost structure. The recommendation is to delay the conference until mid 2012 to allow more time to find a less expensive conference center and to build a more viable budget.   

DrupaCon Germany

Neil and Megan traveled to Germany with Blue Projects to visit conference locations in Berlin and Munich. A recommendation was submitted to the board and a location chosen. The location will be announced after contracts are signed, approximately around DrupalCon London.
