This is the planning group for facilitating organization and team-building around GLADCamp 2014 and future GLADCamp conferences. Our inaugural GLADCamp, a DrupalCamp serving the Greater Los Angeles Drupal community, is planned for 2014.
Conference Website: http://gladcamp.org
Twitter: http://twitter.com/GLADCamp
Working Group: http://groups.drupal.org/gladcamp
Issue Queue: http://drupal.org/project/issues/gladcamp
This group provides the basic groupware collaboration tools that GLADCamp organizers need, such as discussions, wiki pages and polls, is highly specific to GLADCamp 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.

The First Annual GLADCamp Scheduled for April 26-28th, 2013, Postponed: One-Day “Drupal Everywhere” Scheduled for April 27, 2013
Originally announced as a comprehensive weekend exploration of all facets of the Drupal content management system, the First Annual GLADCamp (Greater Los Angeles Drupal Camp), originally set for April 26th-28th at USC, has been postponed to 2014. Regardless of the professional conflicts which prevent a free, 100% volunteer-run conference originally envisioned for the Drupal community from occurring at this time, GLADCamp declares confidently that it will announce a brand-new date and venue as soon as both can be secured and confirmed.

We had such a great time at last week's Drupal Sprint Weekend that we're doing it again. Join us at Droplabs on Saturday, March 19, 2013, for another day of Drupal, patch reviews and sprints / hackathons on your favorite Drupal projects.
Those interested in attending this event remotely are welcome to join us via a Google+ Hangout. The hangout URL will be posted soon.
Afterward, we'll be going out for a Drupal After Dark with the teams that built the robots for Robot Combat League, the robot exosuit combat show on the Syfy network. Yeah, a day of Drupal and robots!
What's a "code sprint"?
Code sprints are organized events where attendees meet online or in person (and sometimes both) and work toward a shared goal.
Local area organizers have produced several code sprints in recent history, including sprints focused on building the SCALE conference website, resolving issues in the Drupal 7 issue queue and updating the Conference Organizing Distribution (COD) project to Drupal 7.
See https://drupal.org/node/247982 for more information.
What's the code sprint about?
Good question! There will be 3 separate themes at this event:
- Bring in your Drupal projects and cowork with other Drupal community members! This is great opportunity to cowork with others in a low-key environment where anyone in attendance can ask questions and both offer and receive help on their personal and community projects.
- Members of the Greater Los Angeles Area Drupal Camp (GLADCamp) organizing team will be working on the GLADCamp website, adding features, fixing bugs, and adding content about the conference, including sponsorship levels, hotel information, and local attractions;
- Droplabs will also provide a FREE mentored Drupal training using Build a Module videos focusing on Advanced Site Building. Just bring your laptop and a pair of headphones. A Droplabs staff member will set up you with a day pass.

GLADCamp.org Case Study
At this meetup, Sebastian Chedal (@fountainwire) will highlight some of the development tips and techniques used to produce the theme for this year's Greater Los Angeles Area Drupal Camp website at GLADCamp.org.
Sebastian will delve into design, programming and mobile/tablet considerations. The session will cover conditional stylesheets, JavaScript, patching, contributed modules, some PHP and how to override the output of a particular image style with a custom module.
From Fixed to Responsive
Mario Hernandez (@designsdrive) is a Front-End Web Developer and Lead Designer for The U.S. District Court Central District of California, the largest Federal Court in the United States. In 2012, Mario lead the design and development of the Court's public-facing website which is powered by Drupal.
Using a theme provided by the Administrative Office in DC as a starting point, the website was transformed into a responsive website making the first of its kind for a Federal Court. In this session, Mario will discuss the challenges and opportunities presented during this project and will describe the various techniques used to turned a fixed-width theme into a responsive theme.
