Venue unkn to last min is main reason I missed LA Dru & SANDcamp explains, including exactly why, and how how a few changes could help out a bunch. Hope the feedback there helps.
The camp was awesome. Thanks
The camp was awesome. Thanks so much for all your efforts.
Yes,looks excellent! &I thkU4 schedule w/much of the details!
Yes, while I couldn't make it, from http://sandcamp.org/sessions/schedule it looks like SANDcamp was excellent! The 1st track a really great & remarkably comprehensive intro for beginners, plus the 2nd track full of several advanced, interesting, and very-useful topics.
Also impressive is the page http://sandcamp.org/sessions/schedule itself (done with Drupal, of course!), including many useful details under each session. Since I couldn't make it, I'm carefully reading thru this and trying to learn what I can -- which is a lot, just from these details! (Plus the fact that users could (and did) post comments on each of the sessions, a feature of Drupal, is just ultra-cool.) I really thank the folks who put this schedule together (and a great display of Drupal in action itself), plus of of course all the session leaders who wrote up detailed descriptions of their sessions. (Also, since I'm sure (else sure hoping) you'll do this again, consider renaming the URL to something like http://sandcamp.org/2009/sessions/schedule (or, my ideal: don't use friendly URLs at all, but more permanent node numbers).)
Thanks for this really great work!
Thanks for your feedback!
I'm glad you liked the session schedule page from our very first DrupalCamp ever! We worked hard on presenting the schedule's info to users in an understandable format while keeping the administrative duties of the site constrained to freely available modules, since this site is intended to be a pattern for future DrupalCamp startups. Next year, we're stealing a few schedule presentation ideas from Gabor's DrupalCon Szeged site. ;)
As to the user-friendly and SEO-friendly URLs, it's important to understand that those pages are, in fact, using permanent node numbers. They're just tracking an alias that has a few more searchable words in it, that's all. It's another one of those built-in features that Drupal's come to be known for. And yes, when we build out next year's site, this one will be archived under the 2009/ alias, for sure.
