If you think 0 was too few sessions on project management at Drupalcon Portland, Please RT me.

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I am really, incredibly disappointed by the total disregard for PM's at Drupalcon Portland.

A whopping (EDITED) ONE sessions on a topic that is obviously growing in importance with every conference. Dozens of sessions proposed this time around had a PM focus, yet none were picked.

If you're as steaming mad as I am to see such an important topic go overlooked again, RT my tweet please:

At this point, I do not expect to see my core conversation picked either considering how much they're ignoring us.

Sad. Panda.

Thanks for posting this, Shannon. I took over for you after it got late over there :) I'm not satisfied with any of the reasons I've seen so far.

I was incredibly annoyed when I saw the sessions didn't account for project management at all. It actually makes me not want to go to Drupalcon. :( I almost posted something before you did here, Shannon, but was hoping that I had missed something. Grr.

Let's keep letting the track chairs & content leads know we expect a change in thinking.

Although I won't be attending

Although I won't be attending Drupalcon Portland but it's frustrating there's no sessions for PM, especially how well received the session(s) and bof were in Munich last year. Which highlighted how important it was to the community as a whole.

Thanks for speaking up

Thanks for speaking up Shannon! I am also very disappointed. I was looking forward to so many of the sessions the group had proposed. Not sure why Project Management is not considered to be an important piece of the puzzle. Boo!
