They are a small team that are actually affiliates themselves pushing the same offers as you, not a group of "use to be affiliates".
DrupalCon Denver is the official conference of the Drupal community. DrupalCon is a biannual event presented to an ever-expanding international audience since Drupal became an open-source project in 2001. It's put on by the Drupal Association, as well as a fabulous group of volunteers and organizers from across the globe.
The Colorado Convention Center will accommodate the largest and most active gathering of Drupal developers and users in the heart of downtown Denver, Colorado for DrupalCon Denver 2012.
DrupalCon Denver is a world-class conference with a worldwide audience. If you or your organization actively use Drupal, or even if you never have but want to learn, DrupalCon is your chance to engage the community, learn from others, and share your experiences. Pre-conference training sessions are available on March 19th and a code and contribution sprint on March 23rd (view full program).
DrupalCon Denver's theme, "Collaborative Publishing for Every Device," is a study on the shift of web access from traditional desktops to mobile devices, phones or tablets, and with it the greater combination of platforms Drupal leverages and integrates. The overall conference theme will be integrated into eight different categories: check out the Session Tracks page to read more about the subjects that will be covered at DrupalCon Denver or dive into the ~100 sessions on the schedule thus far!
The Core Conversations track is a place for people actively working on Drupal or Drupal.org to meet and plan the future of Drupal. Each session is either two 15 minute or one 30 minute presentation, followed by 30 minutes of discussion.
Each core initiative will give status updates as part of this track.
The target audience for the Core Conversations sessions are those actively engaged in pushing Drupal forward:
If you are new to Drupal, work mostly in contrib space, or simply want to learn more about Drupal and Drupal development then you will get far more out of the regular sessions, particularly in the Coder, Themer, and Site Building tracks.

Press Release! Read all about it!
The headline of a press release will often determine if the reader even bothers to keep reading. A simple trick to create a headline that is engaging and on topic is too work backwards, write the story first and then decide on an appropriate headline.
1. Include a photo:
If you choose to add pictures to your press release, they should be high quality. A blurry image is not going to get a press release picked up by a major news source, consider the services of a professional photographer for better results.
2. Send it to the right person:
No matter the method of sending a press release make sure it is addressed to the right person. If sending a press release by mail it should be sent to a specific editor. The method of sending will also determine if photos can be added, a faxed press release would not have a professional image quality and would likely be rejected. Web sites run by newspapers, magazines and trade periodicals often offer contact information on where press releases should be sent. If no information is given, simply calling the publication and asking can make sure your press release does not go straight to the trash.
3. Follow up:
After sending a press release wait an adequate amount of time before following up. If your press release has gotten no attention, do not be afraid to send a follow up email to find out why your press release was not used. When sending by email or fax you may discover your original press release never made it too its final destination, in other instances you can receive valuable information about what you can do next time to get a better response from your press release.
4. Make sure a press release is needed:
Before sending a press release, review what the current goal or aim is. Though press releases are great for promoting events, announcing awards, mergers and providing information they are not always the best way of getting out information about your business. The key of press release is to tell a story not to function as a free advertising method and press releases written in this manner are likely to be ignored.
5. Know where the press release should be sent:
Though your press release may be perfectly formatted and contain great information in national magazine it just might not be relevant. Local news sources on the other hands may find your press release is relevant to local interest. Trade publications that are specific to your business should also be considered. Review the magazines your business currently subscribes too as well as free publications you receive for options on where to send press releases.
6. Add an angle:
If your press release is just presenting thee facts it may not get much attention but a press release that pulls an emotional cord by appealing to current news, showing conflict or controversy could. An example of a controversial press release is an alcohol company that releases a press release advocating drinking for those under 18. By using an emotional subject that millions of individuals have an opinion on they know their press release is more likely to be read and commented on.
HasOffers
I thought it would be appropriate for HasOffers to respond to the recent Digital River catastrophy, more specifically how it relates to DirectTrack. Most of the world already seems pretty confused about the extremely low level of redundancy described in their statement on DirectTrack.com, or if in fact the situation was caused by other factors. We have even received some inquiries from clients wanting to know if something similar could happen to them on HasOffers.
In this email I would like to cover four things:
1. What does it mean that HasOffers is on the cloud.
2. HasOffers ad server redundancy
3. Our fault tolerant databases
4. How to quickly rescue any traffic that is suffering from the DirectTrack outage.
HasOffers on Amazon Web Services
The single largest project our engineering team has undertaken was migrating our services to the cloud. Rather than hosting our tracking technology, databases and application in co-location facilities with our own hardware, we migrated to Amazon EC2 instances located in four facilities around the world. We chose AWS because they operate state-of-the-art, highly available data center facilities with the highest level of reliability, as well as for the extreme flexibility they provide to build our own configurations.
Amazon EC2 Service highlights: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/#highlights
SLA for Amazon EC2: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2-sla/
HasOffers Ad Servers (Tracking Configuration)
The greatest advantage to hosting our ad servers on AWS is our ability to deploy servers in multiple data centers at the touch of a button. Currently, our ad servers are deployed in four regions of Amazon Web Services. Within each region, the ad servers are deployed in at least two availability zones. These zones act as isolated data centers, sharing the same geographic location but different equipment and hardware. We designed our ad server deployment so that instances distributed across multiple availability zones failover to each other. This provides eight fold redundancy to ensure tracking uptime.
Beyond our cloud infrastructure for tracking, our ad servering technology is built to operate independent of database connectivity. If there is ever an issue with external databases, the ad server continues to track campaigns and will update the databases when connectivity is restored.
Fault Tolerant Databases
Each one of our clients have their own independent database. These databases are then configured on master-master database server deployments. One of the masters in each deployment is located in the Amazon East facility and another is either based in Amazon West or in Amazon’s facility in Ireland (depending on location). We then provide a layer of database slave servers that replicate each master server in the Amazon facilities. If there is ever a problem with a slave or master database server, there is always an active secondary database server. HasOffers makes hourly backups from a dedicated slave server in each configuration, replicating incrementally. We also take daily snapshots of each master. These backups are stored separately on Amazon S3 and are also transferred to a remote co-location facility. Additionally, we use HA Proxy monitory scripts to manage real-time failover across database servers.
Moving Traffic to HasOffers
Current HasOffers clients have all the redundancy described above. If you want migrate to HasOffers, the process is very simple and automated. You and your technical team can create an account on your own and be up and running in minutes. You may also email sales@hasoffers.com for assistance. You don’t need to pay a setup fee, there is no required contact, and you can use the first 30 days for free. All of this is pretty important when you need to get the ball moving quickly.
Here are some support documents to assist your initial configuration:

Spread the Word
Please feel free to forward this email on to any affiliates, advertisers, and/or partners that may be concerned about the reliability of HasOffers tracking. We are also happy to answer any additional questions you have regarding our redundancy and reliability.
And remember, you can always check status.hasoffers.com to view the status of each server pool on the HasOffers platform.
