Posted by Ethan Winn on March 8, 2011

Room:

Missouri

Time slot:

March 9th, 3:45 PM - 4:45 PM

Calling all world-changing Drupalists!

If you make websites that get people mobilized, that engage politicians and decision makers to make people's voices heard, that help people connect to one another to make the change they want to see...join us.

We'll be talking about what's needed for the next chapter of Drupal advocacy tools. A lot of us are working on building our own solutions and tools, and sharing when we can. Let's talk about our needs and the needs of those we work with, and set up a roadmap that will enable us to collaborate over the course of the next year to make Drupal 7 an even more first-class platform for the creation of online advocacy sites.

Please leave a comment below if you plan to attend so we can do our best to make sure there's enough room.
