About This Group
This is the planning group for facilitating organization and team-building around Drupal Design Camp LA and future DDCLA conferences. The second annual Drupal Design Camp LA, our DrupalCamp dedicated to design, theming and usablity in Los Angeles, California, was in October, 2012, and it was a success for all involved!
This group provides the basic groupware collaboration tools that DDCLA organizers need, such as discussions, wiki pages and polls, is highly specific to DDCLA and will help keep the volume of email notifications down in other groups. Join us!
We also wish to reduce bottlenecks and use public Drupal.org infrastructure for this planning process rather than use privately-hosted resources such as Redmine, Open Atrium, etc., and encourage transparency and collaboration with the larger Drupal community.
