Here are the three sessions we are most eager to discuss with the community. Please give us a vote on the site (http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/sessions) if you think you would be interested in these topics.

Join us this Wednesday at 6:30 PM for December’s Northern Virginia Drupal Meetup. We’ve moved the venue to Ireland Four Courts which is conveniently located in courthouse on the orange line. We’ll be in the back room. This month, we will talk about scaling Drupal using Amazon Web Services.
Frank:
Amazon Web Service (AWS) are a set of services hosted by Amazon that can be used to build and host your web applications at (potentially) a fraction of the cost of traditional hosting arrangements. I wont get into all the specifics of what AWS is, you can read that here. Basically, amazon setup an enormous amount of infrastructure and have services like S3 (Simple Storage Service) for remote distributed storage and EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) for resizable virtual computing (hosting).
