European Regional DrupalCon Organizers
This is the central coordination group for planning the european DrupalCon. This group is responsible for:
- making recommendations to the Board for the location of Drupalcon Europe 2011 and beyond.
- organizing and coordinating all non-logistical details for Drupalcon Europe starting 2010. This includes: programming, speaker selection, social activities, the conference Web site.

Scorecard for DrupalCon Europe Location
This document was approved by the European Regional DrupalCon Organizers after a discussion and vote on September 24, 2009.
The Location Selection Taskforce will use these criteria to evaluate locations, teams, and venues. Each item will be given 1 to 3 points. In addition, the events organizing firm hired by the Drupal Association will evaluate locations and venues with their own criteria geared at production issues, and return a ranked list of preferred venues. Finally, a preference poll open to anyone in the Drupal community will be run, and this too will generate a numeric score that will influence the recommendation to the BoD.

Congratulations to the Danish team!
ONE Google Map showing the hole worlds Drupalcon addresses
I would gladly make such a map and will ask you what you think about this idea? I'm not sure this is the correct place to make this subject but couldn't find a site where ALL the Drupalcon were mentioned.
A test site can be seen here http://www.tinemuller.dk/drupalcon/map/ and only the first name is for Drupal the two other links are for libraries. :-)
Click the link and from the InfoWindow click Cartrip and you will see that in the dropdown menu the address and coordinates are here for San Francisco. You could also read the english help instructions.
The Selection Taskforce DrupalCon 2010 Recommendation
Hello Drupal Community and DrupalCon Teams!
It has taken longer than originally expected, but finally after long and careful deliberation, we, the selection taskforce committee, recommend Copenhagen for the DrupalCon 2010. The commitment and relentless enthusiasm of the Danish team during the evaluation process gave us also full confidence that they are ready to organize a DrupalCon that rocks in the 9 months that is left.
Transparency ?
There were a lot of talk of transparency when this whole drupalcon 2010 + 2011 started
i for one is missing this now
We are at least a month over the deadline - and very little have been told out to the public from the european group.
I know im not the only one who really hope to just hear something. - yup the danes & ze germans did meet in stockholm this weekend, and without any fighting breaking out ;)
To be dead honest - we need to hear something soon - else its gotta be pretty hard to get everything done in good time for 2010.
So could we:
Drupalcamp Ghent (Belgium) 2009
Drupalcamp Ghent 2009 is a free conference organized by the Belgian Drupal Community where you can meet fellow Drupallers, spread your Drupal knowledge and learn from others.
DrupalCamp Ghent is open for Drupal users, developers and groupies from Belgium and elsewhere. (There is only room for 100 people so register asap.)
Almost all presentations will be in English so everyone is able to participate.
Reunião do dia 23 na Cinemateca. Reunion of the 23rd at the Cinematheque.
Apontamentos da reunião de dia 23 de Outubro na Cinemateca
Fomos quatro à reunião de sexta-feira na Cinemateca. Para além de mim,
estiveram o Olaf Veerman, o Hernâni de Freitas, e o João Melo, que
veio de Coimbra.
Feitas as apresentações falamos da percepção do Drupal em Portugal e
do mercado luso de desenvolvimento web (frontend e backend). O
panorama não é animador. Mas o Drupal tem possibilidades de ser uma
solução de referência cá, como já é lá fora. Sabe-se que a psique lusa
precisa de ver "lá fora" primeiro para depois acreditar em que cá
também se faz.
Nessa tonalidade o caso da Vodafone Portugal com uma instalação de
OpenAtrium para fazer uma gestão de conhecimento entre grupos de
trabalho dentro da Vodafone. Se bem me lembro, a solução inicial
incluia o MediaWiki, mas neste momento é puramente Drupal.
O Hernâni falará com muito mais propriedade que eu sobre o assunto, uma vez
que foi ele quem desenvolveu a plataforma.
A reunião acabou por durar mais de 5h. Continuámos a conversa ao
jantar.
Sobre o Drupalcamp Lx. As ideias a serem desenvolvidas:
Conclusões e questões em aberto depois do encontro no IRC. Afterthougts and opens issues after IRC metting
Conclusões e questões em aberto depois da reunião virtual do dia 18 no
IRC (#drupal-pt).
-
O Drupalcamp será em Lisboa no próximo ano. Idealmente antes do
Drupalcon US e numa data suficientemente afastada do
Drupalcamp Espanha. -
O evento terá a duração de um dia com sessões em inglês e
português. As sessões em português serão introdutórias para
aumentar a percepção do Drupal em Portugal: evangelizar. As sessões
em inglês serão mais avançadas e a ideia é atrair pessoas de fora. -
O evento decorrerá durante um fim-de-semana para poder ser
"vendido" também como um evento turístico para quem venha de fora
de Lisboa e de Portugal. -
Foi adquirido o domínio drupalcamp-pt.org. Há agora que tratar de
desenvolver o site. O Drupalcamp de Lx fica em
lx2010.drupalcamp-pt.org e outros eventos que haja, por exemplo um
drupal meetup no Porto ou em Coimbra ficariam respectivamente em
porto-meetup2010.drupalcamp-pt.org
coimbra-meetup2010.drupalcamp-pt.org.
Realizations and open questions after the virtual meetup on IRC of the

Revised Schedule for DrupalCon city announcement
The Scandinavian team introduced a new element, and we realized that the IRC meetings are actually very valuable.
We would like to have all three teams up for a meeting (the London team is following tonight), to complement our scoring.
The Germans are missing, as of now; when could you do an IRC meeting?
Because of these IRC meetings, we have been pushing our internal meeting date as well, so everyone has a chance, of communicating with us, before we make our recommendation to the DA.
DrupalCon London 2011 Proposal IRC Q&A

We'll also post the log of our session here as a comment.

Location Selection Taskforce, personnel change
Germany has submitted a strong nomination to host DrupalCon in Berlin. As I am the Vice President of the Drupal-Initiative, Germany's Drupal-supporting non-profit, and since the Drupal-Initiative is in part sponsoring the nomination proposal, and helped plan and draft it, I feel it would be unfair for me to rate the other proposals. One could say there is a conflict of interest.
DrupalCon 2010 and 2011 Proposals are in
And the proposals are all in.
We have therefore nominations for the following cities in the following years:
2010
The bear against the vikings :-)
DrupalCon Europe 2010 / 2011 in Berlin [UPDATE]
Cool: Proposal just in time ,-)
The German Drupal Community is proud to nominate Berlin for DrupalCon Europe 2010 or 2011. See attached PDF for details.
[UPDATE]
During the hectic excitement around the preparation of our proposal, Isabell Schultz's name came up in some discussions. In a moment of over-enthusiasm, it was included in our proposal by mistake.
DrupalCon Copenhagen
The proposal for copenhagen is on the drupalcon.dk site http://drupalcon.dk/cph/node/35
