pingVision is delighted to support DrupalCon Szeged 2008 with sponsorship.

Although we are not sending anyone to Szeged, we support DrupalCon as a semi-annual event that helps cultivate and strengthen the Drupal community. There's nothing like putting hundreds of Drupal aficionados in the same room to generate some real excitement and learning. Not only that, any profit from the conference goes to benefit the Drupal Association (of whose General Assembly I am a member). (We're hoping there's a profit. As of last week, meeting the expenses was looking to be a near thing. We certainly want to do our bit to help avoid a deficit!)

We really wish we could be there. I think last month's DrupalCamp only whetted our appetites for more Drupal camaraderie. But it just wasn't in the cards.

Free pass available

As DrupalCon Szeged starts in just a few hours from now in Hungary, this comes as an extremely late announcement, but if there is somebody – a student, perhaps, or a Google Summer of Code participant – who would like to attend but simply cannot afford to buy admission, we do have a sponsored pass available. (Sorry, but for transportation/lodging/etc. you're on your own.)

If you are interested, please contact us right away and tell us about your interest and participation in Drupal.

DrupalCon * 2009

We are definitely looking forward to the announcement of the next DrupalCon to take place next year in North America. There are several very strong proposals that have been submitted, and the Drupal Association Board will be announcing the winning city during this week's DrupalCon. Where ever it is, we'll see you there!
