DrupalCon NA

Discussion over the financial viability of running a 3,000 - 4,000 person conference in Denver, Colorado. Several board members were not convinced that a conference of this size is viable in Denver. Concerns
centered around 

  • size of the city, 
  • Denver in March (it is cold)
  • Not a top 10 city
  • Local community is smaller compared to other major cities (such as NYC, Philly, D.C, SF, and LA)

Quite a lot of discussion was devoted to the purpose of DrupalCon, audience, size, and on finding the best route forward for the conference and the Association. The pros and cons of running a
conference in Denver, Colorado.

Gerhard motioned to vote on DrupalCon Denver, yes or no. This motion was seconded by two other board members.

Cary motioned to table the vote:
The motion was seconded by five other board members

It was decided to table the motion to vote on DrupalCon Denver.
