As the first major budgeting process the Association undertook it was a bit of a long and mildly painful process. However we work out the kinks, set our goals, priorities and creating awesome working teams. Check out the newly published 2009 budget!. As always if you see something interesting and want to get involved contact us.

Do you want to a Drupalcamp in your town? How about having a nice Drupal meetup group?
If you have been curious what it takes to run a Drupalcamp, Code sprint, Drupal Jam, or Meetup come join us at Drupalcon D.C March 4th to 7th. Currently there are 3 sessions proposed for the conference that are designed specifically for current and future Drupalcamp and meetup organizers.
