OK, enough obligatory stuff.  Why would you want to take a weekend over the 
summer for a tech conference?

Drupal (http://drupal.org/) is the premiere open source web content management 
system.  This is the open source software that runs WhiteHouse.Gov, 
NowPublic.com, most of Sony BMG's web properties, the Art Institute of 
Chicago, and the University of Chicago Law School (our hosts), among many many 
others.  This is big-time open source that can also run your small personal 
blog.

Drupal is an extremely active and supportive and welcoming community.  It's 
one of the friendliest open source communities I've ever encountered.  That's 
why I'm a part of it. :-)  It's filled with really friendly, extremely smart 
people that are awesome to work with.  

Really, how many open source projects can claim they have their own card game?  
(Yes, we do.)  It's also a darling of Google Summer of Code for a reason.

There's also a huge demand for good Drupal talent, and the pay is good, too. 
:-)  If you're looking for work in IT, Drupal is a great skill to pick up both 
for the fun of it and for the profit of it.  There just aren't enough Drupal-
skilled folks to go around so it's a sellers market.  Great for recent 
graduates to jump into if they know their stuff, or for experienced web 
developers who want to know where the market is going.

This is a 2 day 500-person conference for $40 that will include some leading 
members of the Drupal community.  I've been at similarly-sized conferences 
that started at $700 a ticket.  You won't find a better deal on an education 
anywhere.

Hope to see you folks there!
