Hello from Hungary!

Jody and I arrived in Hungary on Monday to attend and take part in this year's European DrupalCon, which is taking place in the lovely little city Szeged, near Hungary's southern border. We had a bumpy ride here, mostly due to the chaos that is Rome's airport, and we were a bit hampered by jet lag and a serious case of internet withdrawal on our way to Szeged. But things are going a lot better now that the conference has begun and our wireless cards are no longer starved for access. We've already drank two bars out of beer (with a lot of help from other thirsty Drupalers) and connected with a lot of friends we haven't seen in a while.

We're not only attending the conference though, we're taking part in a few ways. As I write this Jody is presenting on Node Templates in Drupal (pictured), and early Friday morning I'm scheduled to present John Snow's awesome new Embed Widgets module at the Google Summer of Code showcase. On Thursday night I am presenting a proposal (created in collaboration with Rock River Star) to the Drupal Association in an attempt to bring the next US DrupalCon (in Winter 2009) to Philadelphia.

On a logistical note: if you need to contact either Jody (until Sept 2nd) or myself (until Sept 8th) please either shoot us an e-mail or give me a call on my pre-paid Hungarian cell phone at 06 20 515 9286.
