As announced earlier, we are closing the room booking system on the Drupalcon Szeged 2008 site at the end of this week, so it will not be possibly to book rooms on our site after July 24th. This means that there is only three days left to take advantage of our room service and to specify roommates. After that, we will transfer the list of names and rooms to the accomodation providers. We will maintain a list of the locations and their contacts on the website, but from then on will not help you book a room. This frees up some of our resources to work on more important tasks to ensure a great program and service.
We are also closing on the session submission deadline quickly. Next monday (July 28th) will be your last chance to submit sessions for Drupalcon Szeged 2008. The unconference (BoF) submissions will be open until the conference ends, so anyone can submit BoFs on the spot, but sessions will be planned and put into a timetable next week. So next week we should have our program up on the website!

Die Drupalcon findet 2 x im Jahr, abwechselnd in Europa und den USA statt. Immer an verschiedenen Orten. Jetzt im August in Ungarn. Die Tickets sind nicht billig aber an den hohen Erwartungen an das CMS gemessen bezahlbar. Ich werde versuchen auch ein oder zwei Tage vorbeizuschauen. Wobei das ohne Auto ein Problem werden könnte.

Wenn du Interesse an Webdevelopment und Content Management Systemen hast, auf jeden Fall eine Reise wert. 

Es gibt bereits fast 400 Anmeldungen wobei ein Grossteil aus den USA kommt. Gleich an zweiter Stelle ist Deutschland und dann Ungarn.

Together with our exclusive design partner Factory Creative Studio, we prepared a few buttons and banners for you to use on your websites to help proclaim that you are a Drupalcon attendee, or you are a supporter of our event. We also prepared banners in bigger sizes to put up on your sites if you would like to help get the word out even stronger. Thanks for your support!

While taking to some people, we realized it is better to publicize more that due to our requirements to pay for rooms and the shuttle buses in advance, we need to know what is taken and we should give back the unoccupied rooms to the hotels. Otherwise we would need to pay for their reservation even if not taken, which would be a risk our budget is not ready to take.
So make sure that if you intend to take our help in finding a room, then register for Drupalcon (only €120 for a ticket) and book a room on our website within two weeks from today (by July 24th). Same applies for shuttle bus tickets. We are going to make up a shuttle bus schedule shortly based on the preferences of those who signed up for tickets, and will refund money for those, who found that the final shuttle schedule will not fit their needs.
Also, if you booked a room but would share with someone else, please ensure that you get your roommate in by the same deadline. We will send over the list of people taking rooms to the locations. Those not specifying roommates might have issues if they show up with roommates, so make sure you set this up properly. (Create an account for your roommate on the website and get her specify her name in her bio to be able to specify her as roommate, if not a registered Drupalcon attendee).
That we need to end the room service is not the end of the world though, since it means that several rooms we pre-booked will fall back on the locations, and we will keep up a page with contact information for the locations we had previously, although we cannot guarantee that they have the space for you or you can arrange your room with them. Those not going with the shuttle will find the train information handy on the travel page.
