Woohoo!!! Fantastic work everyone, and thank you! :)

This is my favourite line so far:

"It’s a dream come true to now have a DrupalCon Downunder!" says Donna Benjamin, a recent addition to the Drupal Association Board of Directors, and past organizer of Drupal Downunder Melbourne 2012. "The global Drupal community needs events like these taking place outside the established centres of Europe and North America to really help the overall community grow. It’s so good to see Sydney and São Paulo join the DrupalCon line-up."

Bevan/

This is a good step forward.

Kudos to the Drupal APAC region organizers! We'll pay close attention to the details

Congrates to everyone for making this possible. This has been a long time coming.

Well done guys - looking forward to it!

Congratulations to the team who have got things this far and all the best for the next 6 months. It's great to see the momentum for Drupal in Australia and New Zealand.

"Downunder" is one word now?

At any rate, sounds like fun. I'd love to make it down there if the money works out.

We're reaching out for your help to make DrupalCon Sydney really rock.

There are lots of ways you can help (See DrupalCon Roles, but there are 2 types of positions that we are looking for right now - Track Chairs and State/Regional Representatives.

Track Chairs:
Your role as a track chair is to drive the success of your track by setting a vision for it and deciding which sessions are selected. We are also looking for similar help with BoFs and other conference content. The commitment is approximately 4hrs/week and ~10hrs during selection week.

State/Regional Representatives:
These are not traditional positions for DrupalCon by have been used by previous Drupal Downunder events.

As a representative, you would be identified as the local knowledge point for information about the event and you will help us promote the event in your local area. To do this, you would participate in the organizing group and be given information prior to formal announcements. We will also look to you for advice about ideas and issues that might impact your local community. You will also be a conduit for bringing any concerns from your community to our attention. The commitment is approximately 2hrs/week

If you are interested in helping in these roles or any other way, please fill out the form at http://bit.ly/DCSydvolunteers

It's great to hear that DownUnder will be the first DrupalCon in Asia Pacific. Attending it in Australia might be little bit more convenient than going all the way to North America.

I definitely want to volunteer for the event. Please let me know any way I can help.

Good work, Ryan, it's about time :) Hopefully some of the Drupalers from Thailand and elsewhere in Southeast Asia will make the trip.

Will you be streaming the sessions of the event online or recording them ?
