DrupalCamp Los Angeles 2008, this September 13-14 (2 days) at the Los Angeles Convention Center
We think Drupal is the best open source content management system period and we're not the only ones. Faced with a bigger demand for Drupal developers than even last year... the Los Angeles Drupal Users Group has decided to throw our second annual free community training session to improve the level of Drupal development in Los Angeles. Plus it's a geeky good time!
Drupal Camp LA 2008 will be held from September 13-14th at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Attendance is FREE! RSVP required. Register for the event and sign-up for updates at http://drupalcampla.com

How much does it cost?
The event is free (no ticket charge). We're ironing out details so don't get mad if you have to pay for parking each day as this is a really dope event, and everyone agrees it staying free is insane on our part, but we (and our sponsors) are awesome like that. Parking is a different story as it will cost $12 - $20; mother nature and your wallets would appreciate that you carpool.
If you'd like to see the video from our camp last year or even the promo video for this year.

Website info?
I was looking to possibly make a 'registration of interest' as I may be going to be flying through LA that weekend ... although currently logistics are in flux and it might be pushing it a bit ...
But anyway, the drupalcampla.com address given doesn't seem to be resolving to anywhere ... yet anyway.
EDIT: but www.drupalcampla.com is ok ;-)

Alternate Registration Info
Hi there - our current (and soon to be previous!) webhost seems to be having some nameserver issues. We are transferring the site today over to the generous and capable hands of HotDrupal (www.hotdrupal.com), who have offered to host the site for us.
In the mean time, you can still sign up here: http://icanhaz.com/drupalcampla (yes, yes, it's a google form, not Drupal Sign-Up - but it works!)
Site should be back up and rolling by the end of the day.
Cheers!

Registration
I've "tried" to register as well. I think the form goes through, but i did not receive any confirmation emails !?
Without the confirmation, you would never know if the form was submitted successfully !? Is there a way/system to check for that?
Can't wait for the DruplaCampLA to get started ;-) Thanks for all your efforts.

No email confirmations
The DrupalCampLA registration form does not send an email confirmation. FYI.

How do we know we are 'on the list'?
Registration Confirmation
If you are concerned about your registration status, you can email either Chris or myself through the groups.drupal.org contact form with the name and email address you registered with and we'll be happy to confirm.
We'll start sending out "know before you go" messages to all registered attendees next week, so if it gets close to camp-time and you haven't heard anything, please let us know.
Cheers!

Drupal Camp via Facebook
I just remembered--I RSVP'd through Facebook and I see there are 42 confirmed guests thru Facebook, including me.
THere is a hostel in Downtown Los ANgeles

The Cecil Hotel on Main Street is home to a brand new hostel. It is superheap. You can go to their website to make reservations online. It is real nice.
Should have posted this a while ago. And there is a new diner opened up near by that is called The NIckel that serves great inexpensive breakfast.
Goodbye All
Greetings to everyone who made me welcome. Apologies for not having one of those tree-killing business cards to exchange with you, so I thought I'd bumpmy contact details up here.
Cheers all, .dan.
Camp Tales
Real life only allowed me to spend a few hours of Saturday at DrupalCamp LA. I enjoyed the couple of sessions that I got to sit in on. Even better was the chance to meet Amazon, ccharlton, some of the WorkHabit folks, and a few dozen other Drupalites. But the highlight of my day was getting an opportunity to meet and chat with Dimitri and Igor.
Thanks to crystal, ccharton, the all-too-busy WorkHabit staff, and everyone else involved in putting this together. Great stuff.
