I find it odd that there is

I find it odd that there is nothing in the LA area. Any thoughts?

AMAZING!

Thanks so much for this Melanie!!! Now to figure out how many I can get away with attending (ie. affordability, time away from kids, etc.). I so appreciate having a schedule for planning for the year :) Like Virginia, I'll be printing out and hanging in my office...

Thanks for updating the list!

DrupalCon

Laura Scott — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 19:53:53 -0600

Since the Wordpress conference is mentioned, I thought I'd toss in DrupalCon, which is happening in Washington DC from March 4-7.

DrupalCon is the official Drupal unconference that attracts the most talented open source developers and innovative web shops in the world and brings them together to share knowledge, make decisions on the future of Drupal, and get to know each other in person.

It's also the premiere opportunity for Drupal users to learn what they can do with Drupal, find partners for future projects, and meet the people behind the code.

In this agenda you can see what the conference will focus on, and as you can see it's designed for both developers and Drupal users. The first three days of the conference will be about learning, while the last day will be about doing - that's when we'll all work together to push code and documentation forward.

DrupalCon is a volunteer run, nonprofit conference.

... Feminism 2.0 in DC on Feb. 2, Women, Action & the Media in Boston in March, as well as the Nieman Conference on Narrative Journalism in Boston in March!

Great info!

Excellent idea, Virginia!

I've put the info in a pdf and will link that up this afternoon. I hope that will make it easier for everyone to print if they want to!

Great list

Virginia DeBolt — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 17:43:57 -0600

I should print it and hang it by my calendar! I'll be at SXSW and BlogHer. See you there! It's not just for bloggers, but I'm also planning to go to Web Directions North in Denver this year.

sounds great. I have a question

Nurit — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 00:31:22 -0600

This sounds great.

I assume all/most bloggers here would love this kind of exposure so, 1) how do you choose between all your memebrs who fulfill those 3 steps you ask for, and 2) how long will the "featured" be featured - one day or longer then that?

Sure I would!

BookLady Alison — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 14:27:06 -0600

Sure, I'd like to be a featured blogger! It looks like I need to plan to start blogging here - so far I've only commented :-)

Newbie Here But Would Love To Be Featured

sugarbritches26 — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 13:04:22 -0600

What a great idea! I've been commenting, written two posts, read a ton, and had no idea there were forums. I'll have to delve a bit deeper. Already I feel a new site addiction coming on. I hope to make it to the BlogHer con next summer and meet face to face all these cool chicks!

Thought I'd done it already..

on_living_by_learning — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 11:13:25 -0600

And I thought I'd set up my Blogher info already! Guess I'm still figuring it out. I keep seeing my blog posts listed under the Blogher ads, but otherwise I'm clueless about Blogher World. Thanks for the tips!

On Living By Learning:

I am a forum lover

kazari — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:01:18 -0600

but currently don't really have one I use a lot.

I did think the Blogher forum was quite small - and also, sadly for me, very US focussed. But I will keep an eye on it : )

I think I have a recipe for that...

Excellent
