Drupalcon North America has been announced and will be held in Washington D.C from August 4th to the 7th, 2009. Ticket prices have been announced as well as the ticketing scheme. Frequent Drupalcon goers probably noticed something new at Drupalcon Szeged, a tiered pricing scheme. In Szeged we started ticket prices out at 80 Euros and incrementally raised them to 250 Euros on the day of. In Szeged this was based on timeframe. Tickets purchased in June were priced at 80 Euro, a month later prices raised to 125 euros and so on until the day of the conference.

In D.C we did something similar but based this time it is based on actual ticket sales.

Over a month ago I applied to be on the board of the Drupal association. Since being introduced to Drupal by the good folks at Openflows, while I was working at MNN, I have become heavily involved in the community. I have always been a big fan of OSS but watching the Drupal community interact is absolutely amazing. The more I watch(ed) the interaction the more I want(ed) to be involved.
