Drupal is the leading open source content management systems and one of the most popular open source platforms out there, and it continues to grow exponentially. Drupal now powers hundreds of thousands of websites. It's the platform of choice for media organizations like PBS and NowPublic, universities like MIT and Harvard, international organizations like Human Rights Watch and the Oxfam, companies like the NHL and Disney, and even rock stars like Bob Dylan and Britney Spears.
This success is because of the large and active Drupal community, now at more than 300,000 open source developers. These developers come together at DrupalCon, the official Drupal unconference.
DrupalCon attracts the most talented open source developers and innovative web shops in the world and brings them together to share knowledge, make decisions on the future of Drupal, and get to know each other in person. It's also the premiere opportunity for Drupal users to learn what they can do with Drupal, find partners for projects, and meet the people behind the code.
DrupalCon DC will take place March 4-7, 2009 in Washington, DC, and it will be the largest Drupal event to date, with more than 1,200 anticipated attendees. You can learn more about the conference at http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/.
