I'll admit it: I think conference sessions, in general, can be a little dull. Okay, what I mean is that they're usually snoozefests. Unless I'm watching P2's own Samantha Warren speak passionately about typography (and if you've never heard her speak, you should go do that), I've got a bit of an attention-span problem.

We were thrilled to learn recently that OpenPublic was chosen as the content management system for the White House's campaign to celebrate entrepreneurship throughout the nation.
Betsy:
As expected, DrupalCon 2011 won’t only be about Drupal -- from a technical standpoint, that is.
Jeff:
As the Drupal community and lots of newcomers all descend on San Francisco this week, I am making just one (maybe not so bold) prediction: This conference is the tipping point. Drupal is officially big. Why is this all happening now? It is likely a combination of many things: maturity of the product itself, size of the installed base, growth in community popularity and participation, lack of affordable alternatives for comparable web 2.0 functionality, etc. I actually prefer to view it more as the maturity of Drupal as a platform through which the Drupal technology community is pushing Drupal forward - potentially straight into enterprise software territory. Here is my "top ten style" list of the technology trends I see fueling this growth.
Jeff:
On the first anniversary of the President's inauguration, I wanted to share some thoughts about the historic Open Government Initiative and discuss the implementation details of last month's Open Government Directive. Since we are developers, we wanted to do more than talk and write about what open government is, we are interested in how it actually looks and works to a user on the web. So we prepared some mock-ups for this purpose and shared it around town. This mock-up demonstrates both our concept for the user interface and content of a great /open site, but also prototypes what a simple approach to open government data and communications could be through a templated installation of Drupal we would like to build if some agency wants one?

If you missed Wednesday's webinar, you can still listen to the recording. The webinar is entitled Drupal Publishing & Social Media Solutions for Online Publishers and is chock-full of great information.
Jeff:
In this podcast, Bryan House from Acquia talks to Frank Febbraro, Jeff Walpole and Irakli Nadareishvili at Phase2 as they talk about Tattler, OpenPublish and the role of solution-oriented distributions in Drupal.
Tiffany:
We're really excited, thrilled and honored to now be an Acquia gold partner.
