Yay Content! We have been updating the site and now have a proper schedule listing under the Speakers menu

We here at http://www.northStudio.com are happy to present the very first DrupalCamp Victoria!

Beerfest Particulars
http://www.gcbf.com/

We have acquired 80 tickets to the Great Canadian BeerFest that will be given out (TBD) to attendees, and (perhaps presenters will each get a ticket). We will also have a number of other prizes.

FYI: Saturday is already sold out

http://drupalcamp.northstudio.com is now live and ready for registrations. Thanks go out to CivicActions.com and Drupal Camp Alberta, who were very graceful and enthusiastic to help.

The facilities are located just outside the core of Victoria BC, check out the map and pictures on our school site: http://www.vsbt.ca

Hope to see many people there we are anticipating space for about 80 people in total, perhaps more if you don't mind being cozy...

Cheers,

Any specific topics you'd like to see covered?

Talks? Sugestions? Requests?

We are open to whatever is needed by the attendees. We are going to have a section on the site for this so it should come together pretty quickly. We have at our facilities a number of smaller rooms that will work quite well for people who want to do a Birds of a feather type thing too.

Let the suggestions fly!

Awesome

Aye, that would be quite a trip for only a couple of days. We hope to have many pictures etc, so you can at least "smell" the fun and beer.

Cheers,

From the topics listed at http://drupalcamp.northstudio.com/details I'd like to see the following suggested topics confirmed:

  1. Introduction to Drupal
  2. Panels 2: What it is, what you can do with it, and where it's going
    I'd like to start getting my head around Panels even tho',
    a.) I don't really know what panels are / do
    b.) Panels are not yet available for D6.x
  3. Custom Content Types with CCK and Views
  4. Google maps integration
  5. Themer's Guide to jQuery (Part 1)
  6. Drupal Theming - From Design Draft to Theme
  7. CCK - Content Construction Kit
  8. Views
  9. jQuery
  10. Ubercart
  11. Ubercart.org Shop Talk
  12. Ubercart Development
    I'd like to get an idea if anyone knows,
    a.) roughly when UC will be available for D6.x
    b.) if the osCommerce module / osCommerce provide a reasonable alternative

I'm a Drupal newbie so I don't have much to offer 'cept my presence and eagerness to get into it.

Looking for a ride

I'd like to attend this but I'm also looking for a carpool/ride home too, we could split a hotel room as well. I'm in the Burnaby/Vancouver area.

I'm working with Flex right now, maybe I might have something to talk about with Drupal integration by then.. no promises though.
