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.

We hope to see you in sessions or at our booth later today!
