Deze pagina geeft de informatie over de criteria van de DA met betrekking tot de venue / faciliteiten voor drupalcon Maastricht 2009.
Quote DA-criteria
Depending on the timing, location, pricing and some other factors, attendance needs to be predicted. You need to find a venue which can host the different "attractions" which come with a DrupalCon, and can accommodate as many people as you expect will attend. Usual attractions include session rooms, small work group rooms, huge space for hacking and hanging out (with plenty of power outlets). And of course the venue should have rock solid wireless internet all around. Also if you don't plan on a long lunch break in the middle of the day for people to go out for lunch, you need to think about some lunch facility at the venue.
It is important to mention here that if you charge a considerable amount for attendance, people will be more likely to show up. At free to attend events, it usually happens that 30-50% of registrants will simply not show up. Registration price is a simple tool to help you plan on attendance.
* Create a successful financial model for your DrupalCon proposal. If you need to alter the guidelines listed below to limit fixed costs or avoid significant losses due to variable attendance then please do so.
* Aim for 800-1000 attendees, spread out over several days with a smaller maximum capacity.
* Main room for keynotes, big enough for roughly 600 people (including standing postions)
* 4 Rooms to support 4 tracks, with beamers, microphones and cameras
* Good WIFI, preferably multiple ssid's for participants and presenters.
* Good Internet connection, 10Mbps or higher.
* At least SSH, HTTP(S), CVS, and IRC access.
* Ample power outlets, printers and preferably physical security.
* Rooms for developers to program.
* Rooms for small work groups.
* Accommodations for private events prior to and post DrupalCon. e.g. Customer deals, interviewing, etc.
* Proximity to restaurants, for groups to do meals.
* Accomodations included or inexpensive are a benefit.
