Drupal at Nexpo
For those who don’t know, Nexpo is a gigantic trade show put on by the Newspaper Association of America every year. Over at my day job, I’m a member of the NAA, and this interview was with the NAA monthly trade magazine.
As a result, I will be at Nexpo, invited by Rich Forsgren to appear on a panel to discuss “Content Management — A Technology Perspective.” I will be the open-source voice on the panel, which should include industry heavyweights SaxoTech, DTI, and other vendors of proprietary software.
I will, as usual, be taking the stance that open-source is good for business and that it aligns with the core goals of journalism: namely the free exchange of information in order to build better communities. This should be a lot of fun.
For those of you in the Washington, DC area, I will be in town for three nights [April 12 - 14], so make your dinner reservations now.

Make sure to bring up the Drupal 7 roadmap and the how Resource Description Framework(RDF) will allow better integration of their content to the web and in turn increase their authority or “googlejuice”. Also explain that they get constant and vigilant upgrades for free. Yes, you have to pay a nerd to get everything right and supported, but you would have to do that anyway, and then pay +10,000/yr for licenses.
Good luck and post slides or a podcast of your panel!!
Plus check out the Drupalcon2008 website for last weeks great presos.

Ha, Ken. I didn’t realize this was your site. We ran into each other on the street around the Hard Rock on Thursday in Boston. My comment is kind of obvious to a person of your talent.
I was just trying to help someone coming to this post from a non tech perspective.
Great presentation @drupalcon BTW, very nice to see your workflow.
