Florida

Hello Drupalcamp Attendees! We're only three days out from the big event - read below for information on what to expect and what to bring!

If you haven't registered yet, there's still time at http://fldrupalcamp.org/florida-drupalcamp-2012-event-ticket!

1) What to expect: If you're new to the Drupalcamp® experience, you are in for a treat! The day starts off in the Trellon Room (auditorium) with an introduction by DrupalEasy developer, Michael Anello. He will give you an overview of the days events including the multiple tracks, rooms, timeframes, etc.

The entirety of Saturday will be filled with sessions. These will be held in various classrooms and auditoriums within Rollins College. Take a look at the session schedule at http://fldrupalcamp.org/program/session-schedule. Lunch is 11:30 - 1:00. We'll have the lunch area divided into separate 'interest groups' to facilitate networking. You pick where you want to eat!

Definitely don't miss out on Drupal / Non-profit rockstar Michael Haggarty's keynote which occurs immediately following lunch in the Trellon Room (auditorium). Michael is the CEO of Trellon and is a veritable know-it-all in the worlds of Drupal, CRM, and non-profits.

Looking for a super awesome junior Drupal dev to work on building out some new features and doing site maintenance & security updates on our existing Drupal site.

We're building out mobile apps that will interface with the site, so we want someone who has a passion for mobile. We're also working on some re-theming, so want someone with some front end skillz as well. You'll get to work under the friendly tutelage of one of Drupal's most experienced developers (d.o user ID in the 1500's). Edited: senior person will not be on the project.

I'm happy to announce that Brevard Workforce has given us permission to use some space at their facility in Rockledge, Florida for Drupal Co-working Friday. This means that we'll be able to join our friends in Orlando, Tampa, and around the world for the first-ever Drupal Co-working Friday!

This month I'll be doing a walkthrough of using Commerce Kickstart (a Drupal distro that will get you 90% of the way of having your Drupal Commerce site up and running). We'll walk through installing Commerce Kickstart, installing additional modules and discussing how Products are setup and if we have enough time, go over Rules in Drupal Commerce (the true power in Drupal Commerce).

The Coding for a Cause committee has chosen 3 candidate organizations to receive free sprint-built websites, and we are now seeking the volunteer technical and design leads for these projects. Each project currently has a project manager who is beginning to plan out the content of the website, and the three of them each will need a confident Drupaller who gets to know the project inside and out in the month leading up to February 11th and 12th.

The three organizations chosen are:
