I'm excited about this - it's happening at the same time as the AIIM-OnDemand show, so I'll get to go to both:

Drupalcon is being held at the same time/place as AIIM International Exposition & Conference, the largest content management technology conference in North America. Though technically independent of each other, the Boston team is working to arrange some cross-event access. The goal: introduce Drupal to thousands of potential new Drupalers.

Drupal is a powerful open-source system for building community-based web sites.

We're using it to power this blog, and I've also begun using it to build some in-house utilities for N-GEN.

Here are some projects I've done in Drupal:

• http://xinetusersgroup.org
• http://coveredincathair.com
• http://ngenroom.n-genstudios.com

Drupal is built in PHP with a MySQL database. I'm running it on Linux but it'll work on Windows and Mac OSX hosts as well. The community is extremely stroing and quite responsive. The system is highly modular, and has inspired me to consider building a website toolkit for our own projects, modeled on the Drupal approach. This is as yet a pipe dream, but stay tuned.

Drupal has been featured in Packt Publishing's CMS awards for several years running, and this year won the Overall Open Source CMS award.
