Sept 13-14 works for us
The 13th and 14th looks good for us, we should be able to bring up a good number of our group, couple of presenters and offer some help in sponsorship if needed. Crystal, I'll reach out to you on this.

all of those weekends work
all of those weekends work for me, Sept 13-14 sounds great though...
October 4-5
October 4-5 is the best for me, as I'll be out of the country until then.
Sept 13-14 is best ... later is fine too
I like the September 13-14 dates. I'd also be fine with September 20-21 or October 4-5.
All dates works for me thus far
SSIA (Subject Says It All)
Sept 13-14 or later
I'll be in yurup on the first two.
Count me in for helper status.
September 13-14
September 13-14 works for me. Let me know what I can do to help.
September 13-14
I vote Sept 13-14, but mainly just cause everyone else was voting for it. Any time works for me. Also, I'm open to help with any planning or event management. Just let me know what you need.
September 20-21
My vote is Sept 20-21 since it is not so close to labor day. Let Jack and I know what we can do to help.
Sept. 13-14 looks like the Winner
Hi all, thanks so much for the feedback!
Looks like September 13-14 is our best option.
If it's ok with everyone and doesn't cut into presentation time, we can discuss a few of the tasks that need to happen in order to make this all work at the meeting this week.
Also, if you have venues in mind - go ahead and ping them! It would be great to know what our options are as early as possible. Same goes for potential sponsors.
Cheers!
Crystal
No problem
Shouldn't be a problem to cut in the night to talk the camp out.
-1 for Sep 13-14
It's the only weekend i can't make it. :-(
Cherry Hill is in as a sponsor
At least at the cheap seat level. Possibly for a portion of the t-shirt, as well.
I would be happy to do a session, as well as volunteer to help in any way I can.
I think that AOL is a great venue, if it is available.
WorkHabit will sponsor as well
We're in as a sponsor! Chris, I'll send you and Crystal an email and get you to hound J Lambert until he forks over the cash.

Volunteering
Nice, a Drupal Camp! I'd love to do a session on social networking sites in an academic environment, or an introductory Drupal session. Also available for design volunteering as well.
oops posted on other
If you guys still need a venue I should know tomorrow if I have the Los Angeles convention center.
Just a room or two. Knowing the popularity of the drupal, We might wind up with tons of sponsors . but we only have less than two months until your drupal camp LA.
If it is free and open to the public; fees waived.
But there are other costs associated with the use of it.

Printed Material
Hi Everybody,
I am happy to donate some printed material to the upcoming Drupal Camp LA in September. I am not sure if I can afford the full $500.00 But I am happy to help out with a banner, post cards, business cards, workshop hand outs, t shirts, design work and such. I really like our monthly meetings. And little by little I am learning more how Drupal works. The LA Drupal Group really rocks!! Thanks Chris for putting it all together.
Great to hear
Great to hear, Benno. We'll hit you up with what we'll need for our wonderful camp. ;)
Thanks.
