DrupalCon Boston here I come!

I just registered for the fastly approaching Boston DrupalCon (http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/). I'm really excited to meet some of the members of the community that I've been working with over the past year. The last DrupalCon I went to was the Sunnyvale one at Yahoo! and I couldn't have been more thankful for all the great presentations.

My hopes for the upcoming DrupalCon:

• Get some experience with Drupal 6 and see some of the many great new features in action, as well as see what the upgrade will be like.
• Get some knowledge on scaling drupal. In particular what types of infrastructures other developers are using, and effective ways to improve the speed of my modules and the queries I write.
• Ask around about a better way to improve Drupal's private file handling. I just read an article that Tao Starbow put up on his blog (http://www.starbowconsulting.com/node/87) about his efforts and I'm hoping to get some discussion with a few others who know more about the subject than myself.
• And as always, meet more of the great folks who contribute to the community.

See you all there!
