As you might know, we try to organize at least two big Drupal events a year: one in North America and one in Europe. The latest Drupal conference took place in Vancouver and attracted more than 150 people!
The popular IBM developerWorks site has started a new series entitled "Using open source software to design, develop, and deploy a collaborative Web site".
I am working on convincing "managament" of a large non-profit organization to use Drupal for their next project. They are very open - just need the benefits explained.
With 75,000+ Drupal power websites and an emerging industry supporting over 150 professionals, the open-source Drupal project and community is exploding. At the heart of this community is an incredibly active and productive group of contributors.
