Drupal Camp Seattle

NorthStudio and the Victoria School of Business and Technology are once again proud to host the second annual Drupal Camp Victoria, in Victoria, BC September 11th and 12th. Just like last year, we have timed Drupal Camp to happen around the Great Canadian Beer festival. Please go to http://drupalcamp.northstudio.com/ for more information and to sign up.

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.

Please feel free to upload presentations, code, or other important information you provided or discovered throughout the day. I'm sure I don't need to remind you that this is a wiki page. If it seems too messy, just create another wiki page and link to it from here. Thanks!

What Actually Happened

At the Feb 21, 2009 Seattle Drupal Mini-Camp, a group got together to set up (or start setting up) a new web sites for Seattle Drupal camps (http://seattle.drupal-camp.org/) Jennifer H led the group. Helping out: Gregory, Shawn, John, Robert, Josh (did I forget anyone?). Thanks!!

This is a record of what we did (including some work done in days following the mini-camp). At the bottom is a planning section, from before the work session, explaining the specs.

This is a wiki for planning the April 2009 Seattle Drupal Camp.

THIS IS OBSOLETE - see http://seattle.drupal-camp.org/wiki/april-2009-camp-planning for current planning wiki - need to log in as a Planner to see this.

• Dates, Times - Friday for a day of talks, Saturday for a self-organized BarCamp-style workshop day
• Talk schedule for Friday

Date and Time: February 21, 9:30 am - 6:00 pm

Space is limited! Sign up now.

Intention

The idea behind this MiniCamp is to bring people together to work with Drupal. Maybe you just heard about it or maybe you work on Drupal Core development. Either way, we want you to attend! By the end of the day, everyone should feel they have gained more knowledge of Drupal, furthered their own plans (like upgrading a module from 5 to 6), or have future plans set to continue development, training, learning. Approaching this MiniCamp as a day of play is a great way to get started.

Date & Time

I am headed up to Vancouver in a few weeks and thought maybe I could see if any Drupaleers up there might want to connect and talk about coming down and presenting in April at our camp. Should I try and get in touch with the folks up there? I like the idea of asking regional (Portland, Vancouver, Victoria, etc) people to help present, especially since everyone seemed keen on the idea of only presenting one session each. Just thought I would put it out there.

thanks,

Jared

Check list for next Drupal Camp facility.

Facility name and address:

The Camp was a huge success! We had over 80 people attend over 2 days with folks coming from Vancouver, Victoria, Montana, Portland, Bellingham, Olympia, Tacoma, San Diego, (Seattle) and even Vermont.

Thanks to all of our sponsors:

• Achieve Internet
• Active State
• CivicActions
• Cliff Bar
• DrupalCamp Vancouver
• Hazel Consulting
• Office Nomads
• Palantir
• Poplar ProductivityWare
• Pyramid Communications
• StartPad

We have two classrooms that need some setup on Friday morning. It won't take long, but I'm hoping to have two folks who can manage the North Classroom ( rm 105 also called Small) and the South Classroom (rm 111, Large). We need to setup some tables and chairs in both. In addition, the small classroom is the "break" room. Coffee, water, and snacks need to be setup ASAP i.e. before 9:30 when folks are expected to arrive. The small room also needs butcher paper applied to the windows so a projector can be worthwhile. I'm bringing the paper and tape.

Check it out: http://seattle.drupal-camp.org/lightning-talks-site-showcase

we'll have about 30 minutes to present some stellar sites before we head off to the friday evening social event. post a comment at http://seattle.drupal-camp.org/lightning-talks-site-showcase if you want to be considered for the showcase.

If you want to be added to the waitlist of drupalcamp seattle 2008. please sign up.

We are looking for one more projector for DrupalCamp on June 27-28. Anybody got one we can borrow?

DrupalCamp Seattle is a free event, we're not making shirts for all attendees. But we do have a shirt, design created by Julie Wessel, andh ave made it available on Zazzle.

And you will get it in time for the camp!

This year's Seattle Drupal camp is shaping up and the presentation line-up is looking great!

I am heading up an effort to record and share the valuable sessions at Drupal Camp. The goal is to get recordings of the sessions and push to get the video online at or shortly following camp.

This is my call for help with publishing video of sessions.

Here is a list of needs:

• Video Equipment - Cameras, Tripods, Tapes, Microphones
• Volunteers to help transcode video and publish to our online host

We've set up an event node here on g.d.o for people to signup for the seattle drupalcamp. All information will eventually be posted on this node.

Here is the short of it (as you may know):
June 27, 28 10am to 5pm
Youngstown Arts Center (site of last year's camp), its about 5 miles south of downtown.

Find out more and signup, space is limited right now to 80 people.

Contribute session ideas

The Camp will be limited to 80 campers due to space constraints. REGISTRATION IS FULL!!!

When

Finally...we have a location for the dates we want!

The Seattle Drupal Users Group is organizing a DrupalCamp for this summer. I'm in contact with a local university where we would like to host the event. The university is requesting that we exist as an actual nonprofit entity and that we have liability insurance. Has anyone else come across these issues before? Can the Drupal Association help here? I have contact the Drupal Association, and I'm awaiting their response, but I thought I might post here as well. Any thoughts or hints would be greatly appreciated? Is it time for our DUG to become a nonprofit?

We need to figure out the budget. Vancouver already has a nice set of numbers to start with (hope you don't mind us taking advantage):

http://groups.drupal.org/node/10035

I'm working on location which will affect the budget. In fact, one location if we use it will also affect the food budget. Will update as I learn more.

Youngstown (pending final contract): ~ $1000
Hospitality:
* coffee/tea/water in morning/afternoon
* lunch each day
* after hours event Saturday evening
* something on Friday evening?

What else?
t-shirts?

There was some talk at the Seattle Dug about helping out with signup module so that it would be compatible with things going on here on g.d.o (so that it could be used for signups to dug events)

there is post over here about the todo list for the signup module http://groups.drupal.org/node/5044

maybe the upcoming la drupal camp, or berkeley camp or an associated user group (or the Seattle DUG) would be able to contribute some to the signup module?
