Drupal Develiconference - March 17th (TODAY!) at Noon EST

Questions for the presenters can be asked in #drupal. All conference participants are urged to join that channel if possible.

I'm pleased to announce the second Drupal Develiconference! Everyone who is currently involved with, or interested in Drupal development and the development process is encouraged to attend. There will be a Q&A segment after the presentations.

The conference lines will open earlier this time, at 9AM Pacific(GMT-7), Noon Eastern, 4PM London. I'll try to keep the mute off until the conference begins in case anyone wants to chat, but last time there was alot of noise on the line (more like a train derailing) so please use your phone's mute feature or Skype's "mute microphone" feature until you want to speak.

The "official" conference will begin at 9:15AM Pacific and will last for approx. 45min. The call will be recorded and published on Drupal.org for those not able to attend, the recoding will be done by our conference provider this time, and the quality of the call should be significantly better.

For more information about how to attend this conference, including the free Skype number and call in numbers for the US, UK, etc, read on...

To participate in the conference via Skype

These are not the same numbers as last time:

The skype conference number is +990008275513296 . You will not be charged SkypeOut credits to call this number, no matter which country you reside. The conference line will open at 9:00AM Pacific (GMT-7) and will remain open until the end of the conference, feel free to try out this number beforehand and listen to beautiful hold music :o)

Please remember
Skype users are asked to please mute their mic during the meet-and-greet before the conference unless they need to speak. Headsets tend to pick up more background noise then they are given credit for. Everyone not participating in the official conference will be muted when it begins automatically.
