Are there any drupal activities on FrOSCon 2011?
Is somebody of the drupal community there?
A drupal meeting point or a developer room would be nice.

drupal developer - fixer for our broken site | fPcN interCultural: - Freunde der Naturvölker e.V.
Dear Drupal experts,
We are a group of concerned individuals, that seek to help the worlds tribal peoples. We work to protect their human rights, environments and cultures. In Germany we are registered as an e. V. organisation (not-for-profit). See: www.naturvoelker.org but our interCultural site: www.fPcN-global.org is where we need to help. A volunteer, offering to upgrade from 4.7 to 5.5 got in to a real mess and was unable to complete the task in anything like a reasonable time, leaving us off line and with a disabled site for months.

FrOSCon 2008 Drupal Room Schedule
Last updated by robertDouglass on Wed, 2009-08-19 12:25
(unstickified by yoroy :-)
This is the schedule of the Drupal room at the upcoming FrOSCon conference in Sankt Augusting (August 23-24). You can see the larger FrOSCon program here: http://programm.froscon.org/2008/
- The schedule is open to those who wish to present or organize a discussion of a topic.
- The style is "Bird of a feather" style, which means you can plan your meeting or topic for any time slot, and more than one discussion can be happening at the same time.
- The room is too small to support more than two discussions at a time, so go for empty time slots first, and don't plan anything for a time slot that already has 2 discussions.
- Create a new Discussion in this group for your project description and link to it from this page.

Come to FrOSCon - I'm presenting your projects
How many SoC students are planning on being at FrOSCon? I know that Gábor and Balazs will be there. Who else can come?
I'll be presenting everyone's projects on Saturday (the 25th), and what I actually say or show will depend somewhat on you =) If you don't have a demo site online, please consider making one by then. If you provide me with materials to help present your work, I will use them. I will almost certainly stop short of installing and testing all 20 projects' code, simple due to time constraints, so your help in preparing materials and test/demo sites is needed.
