It's that time of the year again when most of Drupal addicts are heading to the same location to meet, share, and overall geek the Drupal way.

This time, I won't do the trip alone as both Makara and Howell (Senior Web Engineers at Wiredcraft) are coming along with me. Makara has been doing Drupal development for about 3 years, is an admin for the Chinese Simplified translation of Drupal, is involved in the Drupal.org redesign's Solr implementation and has already contributed several modules and patches. Howell as well has been contributing modules and patches and has co-authored the first Chinese Drupal book. I myself have been involved for about 4 or 5 years and am currently a permanent member of the Drupal Association.
