One of my main goals here at the DA is to communicate - A LOT - about what's going on. It's my intention to put a blog post up after every board meeting summarizing our discussion so that you get more than just the meeting minutes to go by.

I can't begin to tell you what a joy these last two days in Sydney have been.

I have the great good fortune to be in Sydney this week for DrupalCon Sydney, a sold out event of over 400 attendees! So far, the Aussies have proven to be amazing hosts, and rabid Drupal fans.

Those are not empty words for this community - you mean it!
