Florida DrupalCamp 2011

Florida DrupalCamp 2011 will take place on Saturday, February 12, 2011 and Sunday, February 13, 2011 on the campus of Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida.

Registration for the camp is now open at FLDrupalcamp.org!

Many thanks to the Rollins Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership Center and the Central Florida Computer Society for their generous in-kind support of the camp.

Saturday will feature 4 tracks of sessions about Drupal and associated topics. Sunday will be Coding for a Cause where we will be building a new web site for the Central Florida Computer Society. There will be a $10 per-person registration fee for the event. Winter Park is a suburb of Orlando, located approximately 7 miles northeast of downtown Orlando. Rollins College is located in downtown Winter Park, a beautiful area with plenty of restaurants and shopping. There are several hotels close to the venue, we'll (hopefully) be announcing special DrupalCamp rates soon.

The facilities at Rollins are outstanding. We will have access to two auditoriums (one seats about 300 people, the other seats about 90), two IT classrooms (each seating between 30-40), a breakout room and a student lounge.

We are in the planning stages for the event and are still actively looking for volunteers. The following committees have been formed:

• IT (Wifi access) - Andrew Riley will be working with the IT staff at Rollins to ensure our needs are met.
• Food - John Learned will be working with the Rollins dining service for some of our food and drink needs. If you're interested in helping John, please leave a comment below.
• T-shirts - Erik Baldwin will be designing a new logo and taking care of the t-shirts.
• Sponsors - Mike Anello (me!) will be raising money for the event. If you're interested in sponsoring the event, please let me know via my DrupalEasy contact form.
• Rentals - if we determine that we'll need to rent any equipment (tables, chairs, etc...), we'll need someone to take this task on.
• Signage - Rollins will be providing some signage, if we determine that we need more, we'll need someone to take this task on.
• Session program - we are looking for someone to lead this very important task. We have several volunteers who are willing to help (Gaelan Adams, Don VanDemark), but we need someone who is willing to put the necessary time to reach out to qualified speakers and put together a really great program.
• Keynote speaker - Mike Anello will be in charge of finding a keynote speaker worthy of this monumental event.
• Web site - Erik Baldwin, John Learned, Gaelan Adams, and John Studdard will be in charge of this task. They will be looking at the DrupalCamp Web Site Distribution as a starting point.
• Registration - we are looking for someone to take the lead on this task.
• Marketing - Ryan Price will be leading this effort.
• Giveaways - Mike Anello and ??? will be leading this task to provide giveaways during the camp, including a bag full of stuff to each attendee as well as raffle items.
• Travel and transportation - we are looking for a volunteer to finalize details with local hotels as well as to help facilitate the organization of carpools from all areas of Florida.
