As many of you know, DrupalCon Barcelona takes place in about 30 days! Currently, we have about 50 proposals for presentations and about 300 attendees. Looks like we're in for a blast, eh! :-)

We have a big venue that can host more than 300 people, so it is not too late yet to register. In fact, there is still room for more presentations as well, so I'd like to invite all of you to take part and to submit a presentation. Feel free to use the comments of this post to swap ideas, to request presentations about certain topics, to team up, etc. Best to submit your presentations' abstracts before September 1st as we have to start compiling the final conference program real soon now.

If you've never been to a DrupalCon before -- don't be afraid to present. Everyone is encouraged to participate and all sorts of presentations are welcomed. These can include deeply technical presentations (Drupal 6 menu system internals), fun presentations (A history lesson in Drupal flamewars), tutorial style presentations (How to theme your Drupal site), beginner sessions (An overview of the best Drupal modules), brainstorm sessions (How could we make Drupal easier to use?), best practices (How to use Drupal for a personal blog), panel discussions (How to run a successful Drupal company?), show cases (How we built site ABC for company DEF), meta talks (How to be a successful community manager?), etc. Not all talks have to be about Drupal per se -- you can talk about MySQL, PostgreSQL, Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), webservers, jQuery/AJAX, search engine optimizations, PHP, new standards, community management, things we can learn from other projects, emerging web development trends, you name it.

Looking forward to your presentations, and feel free to share your thoughts and ideas in the comments. :)
