If you

• are passionate about the best CMS out there
• know some 5 people who are as well
• want to make name in the Drupal community
• have more time spare then you have spare

PLEASE consider to step forward and send a (detailed) report to the Drupal Association where you apply for organizing the next DrupalCon in North or South America.

We really /really/ can use a group of persons that will help the community, the Drupal ecosphere and themselves by stepping up to become bigger then themselves by being dedicated to make the best DrupalCon even better!

What we need from you:

1. The number of people that are able and willing to work for a period of 6 month more then 8 hours per week to organize this DrupalCon.
2. A venue that can hold between 600-800 people with a main hall that can hold these people and 3 other rooms (all with good facilities like WiFi, video and audio) as well as some BoF rooms.
3. A small plan regarding the schedule. How many days? Tracks for business? Development? End-users?
4. A budget. Do not focus on breaking even, do not focus on sponsors, focus on the cost per attendee for different scenario's.

If you submit this plan to the board within the next two or three weeks, the Drupal Association can look at it and vote for the best candidate. If they choose you, be prepared for eternal Drupal Fame!
