Early (far too early) Tuesday morning I am heading to New Orleans for
Do It With Drupal, the Lullabot training conference. I'm totally psyched for the trip, not just because I can't wait to see so many Drupalistas and see what other folks have got cookin' with Drupal, but also because I love New Orleans.
When I used to work for
ACORN, we traveled to New Orleans every December for a national conference. I visited a few more times for Vintage Scooter Rallies in 2004 and 2006. In February of 2007, CivicActions held one of our
full team retreats in the Garden District, and
spent a day volunteering with Habitat For Humanity in the 9th Ward. Most recently I visited the Crescent City for the NTEN NTC in March. The city's recovery has been slow, but every event and conference that take place there help the locals, and help move the city closer to recovery.
