DrupalCon Brussels 2006

21th night (social event)
I request a meeting of 5 minutes to list the video-cameras for covering the sessions.
It should be perfect to have three video-cameras from different angles in each session.
9 cameramen in total and 5 sessions of record for day and a total of 10 hours of recording for camera.
At the moment THE VIDEO-TEAM,
Norbert http://www.fuerstentum.net/
Federico http://www.SubMultimedia.tv
agree:

The 22-23 Federico and CONSEN will coordinate the coverage of the three parallel sessions, the video-shoots and interviews of the DrupalCon.org conference, to edit:

I've just posted this request to the front page of the Drupalcon site:

We've already had both Development Seed and CONSEN step up and commit some money at the Silver sponsor level in order to get video coverage of DrupalCon.

However, having looked into getting coverage by a firm that specializes in such things, it looks to be 900EU for one cameraperson for only one day of the conference...which would only cover one room as well. This looks to be too expensive for us.

So, we are looking to the community to come up with some ideas. One person in a comment said they could bring their camcorder, but we need commitment from people to setup and run such coverage.

Anyone have other ideas regarding video coverage?

Other ideas and/or organizing to get full coverage -- please post below.

I havn't booked my plane tickets yet, and I'd be able to book cheaper if I book a package.
So I would like to know where all of you guys are going to stay, and - if possible - book somewhere near.
I plan to stay in the center of the city, but realized that the SAP lounge is outside of the the city.
Any good suggestions?

As you might know, we try to organize at least two big Drupal events a year: one in North America and one in Europe. The latest Drupal conference took place in Vancouver and attracted more than 150 people! That is almost 6 months ago so a couple months ago we started scouting venues for this year's European Drupal conference. We are pleased to announce that this year's DrupalCON Europe which will take place in Brussels (Belgium), the second half of September (two months from now!). We'll communicate the exact dates and location as soon we have confirmation from the venue -- hopefully by the end of next week.

I thought that "DrupalCon Brussels 2006" would be something like DrupalCon Amsterdam 2005. Isn't it?

Following events take place:

Is there anyone who can explain me the difference between DruC

Two weeks ago Dries was contacted by Gerard Fauchey with the suggestion to organize the Drupal conference at the SAP-lounge. Last week Bart and I had a look at the place, we where surprised, the place was more than we could hope for. We where especially interested in the open aria and the rooms around it. I had planed to wait with this information until we got a reaction on our visit last week, so for now I can only let you know we are working on it. I'll hope to give some more concrete information, as soon as possible.

What we have in mind so far is to get the open aria and the rooms around it for the Drupal conference and BaCamp for 22-24 while we can have a GovCamp and more general Drupal presentations on Friday 21 on an other location. Also the SAP-lounge is more out of the center, but very close to the Petillion station (tube).
