Today is the third, and final day of DrupalCon. If you are one of the 3,000 attendees in Chicago, we invite you to stop by to meet our team at booth #70 today in the Exihibition Hall and enter for your chance to win a Motorola Xoom. 

We'll hold the drawing at 3:30pm and announce the name of the winner on our Twitter account. Contestents do not need to be present to win.

This is a sketch of how some of the ideas discussed in the core conversations configuration management sessions yesterday might look in practice. Obviously this is just one idea and there are plenty of other valid approaches (overall of for any specific piece) - we don't want to get too specific yet.

I think my big picture point is that the approaches discussed are not mutually exclusive, and in fact we probably need bits of each of them.

In preperation for DrupalCon this week, we produced this video reel showcasing a partial list of our current clients, as of March 2011.
