decision

The dragon or the drop? - update

I learned this morning that indeed, The Workplace will allow me to attend Drupalcon Paris without burning vacation time if I'm paying for the conference. I really and truly expected the decision to be taken out of my hands. It now becomes a fiscal decision: cost of travel and accommodation versus benefit of attendance and networking.

Much to think about while I do data cleanup. If you're wondering what in the world this is about, see http://domesticat.net/2009/04/dragon-or-drop

The dragon or the drop?

I've had an interesting possibility crop up, and I'd be curious to hear some honest feedback from friends of mine on both sides of the DragonCon / DrupalCon divide.

Most of you know that my job has a strong Drupal slant these days. Fewer of you would have reason to know that Drupal has a strong European background, and as a result there are two conventions per year: one in the US and one in Europe.
