BADCamp
Welcome to the Bay Area Drupal Camp discussion area
Berkeley Drupal Group - Oct 22th, Noon to 1:30pm - Open Q&A
Greetings Bay Area Drupalers,
Wow, BADCamp was super-successful. Hundreds of people got a chance to meet each other, ask questions, share what they know, build community and contribute to Drupal itself. I hear a bunch of work got done on the DrupalConSF site, and there was a somewhat working version of Views for Drupal 7 by the end of the weekend.
But I am sure some of you still have questions to ask, and tips to share. So come on by this months Berkeley Drupal Users group for our annual after-BADCamp open Q&A.
BADCamp registration is now open!
Registration for Bay Area Drupal Camp 2009 is now open at http://badcamp.net/register
BADCamp will be held with October 17th and 18th, in the brand new Sutardja Dai Hall at UC Berkeley. BADCamp is a free, community-powered gathering, where we come together to share our experience and enthusiasm about Drupal, an open-source content management system that is powering more and more of the web every year. BADCamp is open to everyone, at any skill level.
BADcamp volunteers needed
Hi everyone! The Bay Area Drupal camp is right around the corner, and we need your help! Below is a list of things we know we can't do on our own. If you have any interest in helping us with anything on this list, please put your name (or names) next to the item so we can keep track of who'll be doing what. We really appreciate all the help of our volunteers! Please contact Jen if you have questions about your specific task. Thanks in advance to all the people who help make BADcamp such an successful event. :-)

Berkeley Drupal Group - Aug 27th, Noon to 1:30pm - WYSIWYG API Overview and ETS Berkeley Site Review
Greeting Bay Area Drupalers,
This month we have some tasty treats for your Drupal barbecue.
Michelle Ziegmann, of Educational Technology Services here on campus, will be showing off the great new Drupal-based site they have just rolled out: http://ets.berkeley.edu. She will be talking about their IA, UI design and some cool and less common modules they used (including Node Relationship, ThemeKey, Revisioning/Workflow, and CAS).
What should BADCamp do differently/better this time?
I'd just like to get this discussion started - what do you think that we should do differently, or that we should do better, this time around?
There have been a lot of successful camps from them, and we can certainly borrow some of their ideas.
Bay Area Drupal Camp - BADCamp 2009 - Oct 17th & 18th
The third annual Bay Area Drupal Camp will take place Saturday, October 17th and Sunday October 18th, 2009 on the UC Berkeley Campus in Berkeley, California.
BADCamp is an “un-conference” inspired by Barcamps, and other DrupalCamps. BADCamp is a free event, open to everyone of any skill level. Our goal is to built local community through sharing of knowledge and collaboration. So, come meet other Drupal enthusiasts, share ideas, get involved, learn, teach, and get away from your computer for a bit.
DrupalCampPDX Dates
We've picked some tentative dates for the next Portland DrupalCamp: August 22-23, 2009.
So scour your calendars and make sure there aren't any other big tech events that weekend. Obviously any date is going to cause problems for some subset of people but we want to make sure we're not up against another regional DrupalCamp. It'll be close to DrupalCon Paris but hopefully we'll still be able to draw in some other people on the West Coast.

I have a quick job - 10-20 hours?? - which needs to be done asap. It is basically bringing up a simple, one page, promotion website for an independent documentary film. We'd like to work in Drupal - but we may decide to go with a static page for the first iteration. Did I mention time is of the essence? Can you start this week?

BADCamp - resources for connecting with your fellow campers
We are 21 hours away from hundreds of people descending on UC Berkeley to get there Drupal on. Here are a couple of ways to connect to your fellow campers (always assuming the wireless holds out :). If you think of others, shout them out.
- The best one is probably right here at http://groups.drupal.org/bay-area
- IRC : #drupal-bayarea over at irc://irc.freenode.net/drupal-bayarea
- Twitter: I will be twittering away over at http://twitter.com/tstarbow. If you're going to tweet about BADCamp, put your account name in a comment.
- Facebook: I am a complete Facebook noob, but what the heck, I created a BADCamp group. This link might take you there http://www.facebook.com/p.php?i=667832827&k=X2M64XP2326M51B1YD6YY3
What else?
BADCamp Session Proposal Deadline: Sept 25th
Please submit your BADCamp session proposals by Thursday, Sept 25th (http://www.badcamp.net/node/add/session). We want to have enough time for attendees to vote their preferences, and then let the presenters know their time slots by the end of next week.
We will have a Birds of a Feather room available for sessions that don't get slotted in the official schedule.

Planning BADCamp08
Folks,
After talking with Tao at the last meeting I'm going to go ahead and start pulling together all the people who are interested in helping with our Fall BADCamp. First thing I'm going to do is make a round and talk to all those who helped with the last one and those who have already expressed an interest in helping out this time around. After that I'll likely schedule an organizational meeting so we can all get in the same room to work out details. Please stay posted here for more info as it develops. Please feel free to be in touch if you have any questions, either on- or off-line.
Regards,
Dan
