Events

The OSCMS conference in Vancouver allowed upwards of 250 people to gather together and collaborate, discuss, plan, and yes, code. The 3 days were an intense blur of presentations, hacking sessions, food (and drinks), socializing, skiing, and musical mayhem courtesy of the Quadruplicons. Meeting face-to-face allowed many important issues for Drupal to be brought to the forefront and see progress made, including:

• Identifying important areas in which to focus, including the File API, Views, Actions, Workflows, and Relationships
• Helping to streamline efforts going into Drupal community processes, through Drupal Enhancement Proposals (DEPs), working groups, and local user groups
• Making serious headway in terms of increasing Drupal's usability
• The Drupal 4.8 roadmap (or lack thereof ;))

Last week was DrupalCon Vancouver, with folks from all over the world converging to share, argue, network and babble about Drupal. If you're like Tim Jones, you didn't go to this at all-- but you would have if it had been happening, say, on U Street instead of in Canada.

On that principle, Tim Jones, Eric Gunderson, and myself (Ted Serbinski) have decided to invite anyone who's interested to join us next Thursday for the first Dodge City Drupal MeetUp.
