As the Drupal Developer Days in Barcelona getting closer, we are nearing some deadlines that you might want to know about.

Sessions

We have a bunch of excellent session proposals http://barcelona2012.drupaldays.org/program/sessions/proposed that have already been submitted so far, but there is still plenty of room for more.

On May 18th, Government Drupalers in North America will be chillin for good drupaly awesomeness at the Department of Commerce.

It's an all day event and the event is now open for partnerships as well as session proposals. YEAH!!

Thanks to the work of our friends across the Atlantic who pulled together the first Drupal Government Days event last year, we're building on their success and putting on a North American version this year!

This past February Garen Checkley, Jen Lampton and I ran the Drupal 7 Usability Study at Google. We created a handbook page on drupal.org to share the exhaustive list of usability issues. While we learned about a lot of specific interface and module-level problems, we also saw broad trends that called for a higher-level analysis.

Thanks to everyone who voted on Drupal.org ideas! Based on that, as well as a few conversations with some key Drupal.org infrastructure maintainers, here's a draft of the proposal for the board meeting next week, for your review!

Over the last few months we have been working with Jared Ponchot, on redesigning the create content page. Based on our research and further discussion we chose a direction for which we developed more detailed designs.

During the second weekend of March, tens of thousands of tech and creative geeks descend upon Austin for SXSW -- yet this year's conference doesn't offer an official Drupal-focused session. We've decided to take matters into our own hands!

Join us Monday, March 12, to confer, shake hands, and share enthusiasm with those in the Drupal community. There will be experts. There will be camaraderie. There will be beer.

You don't need a SXSW badge to get in, but you do need to RSVP via Eventbrite.
