Drupalcon

Hey all, we at Canary Promotion + Design have submitted a design for the DrupalCon DC t-shirt contest. Show some love for your fellow Philly Drupalers and check it out -- and vote for it if you like what you see!

You can view the shirt here: http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/t-shirt/e-pluribus-drupal

Drupalcon in Philly would be pretty ambitious at this point, but not out of the question (referring to the Drupalcon proposal here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/12971 ).

Aavalar has been contracted by a fast growing e-Commerce company to search for and deliver a CTO who will be charged with providing strategic direction, and hands on technical architectural direction and development for a very specialized development effort/business. The successful candidate must have really outstanding people skills to keep internal employees on task and on schedule, but also be able to role up their sleeves and actually develop software. It would be perfect if the candidate had previous experience interfacing with customers and investors.

The purpose of this page is to gather thoughts on Philadelphia's proposal to the Drupal Association to hold North America's 2009 Drupalcon in Philadelphia. Please feel free to add any ideas or suggestions.

Questions that need to be answered:

1. What will be the legal entity contracting with vendors, putting down deposits, putting forward their credit history, etc. Presumably the answer is the Drupal Association.

2. What challenges might a local group face in working the Drupal Association?

3. Will Acquia put in $ and some other heavy lifting as they did for Drupalcon Boston?
