Drupal Association
Anyone can help Drupal
If you like Drupal, but you don't really know how so many people are able to contribute on average 4 new modules a day, or use their creativity to create a new theme, patch a bug, or something else. There's a commitment I have taken on that doesn't take any thought, learning, or insight.
I have made a commitment to donate to the Drupal Association every week (I get paid every week). The budget is the big item on the Drupal Association's plate and the Drupal 2008 wishlist, voted on by members of drupal.org, is a big point of guidance for that budget. Make the same commitment and you'll help ensure things like updates to hardware, a drupal.org redesign, and conferences of various sizes can grow.
DrupalCon excitement
With the upcoming release of Drupal 6, DrupalCon Boston 2008 promises to unleash a flood of cool new stuff.
With Actions in core, workflow-ng taking a new twist on Workflow, Views2 and Panels2, additions to the devel module for themers, upgrades to jQuery, new database Schema API, a fresh Drupal Association board, things look bright. I might make this the first Drupal or PHP conference I ever attempt to attend.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available and I expect the attendance to be sold out, especially since admission is ¼ the cost of php|tek. Maybe your sponsorship will even attract a bright new employee to your organization. Only the best are at DrupalCon.
