Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit Update - June 2010
Greetings Drupal Community!
It’s exciting times for Drupal in the Pacific Northwest. Planning for the October 2010 Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit in Vancouver, Canada is progressing nicely. Want to find out more, keep on reading!
Background
The process started in earnest last year with a call for participation. From there we established an Organizing Committee and starting laying down the foundation for the conference. Although I was the one that kicked things off I’m extremely pleased to announce that Vanessa Turke of ImageX Media took on the role of Organizing Committee chair and is doing a wonderful job. The Organizing Committee would also like to acknowledge the support we’re getting from last year’s Seattle organizing committee.
Contacts
| Sponsorship: | Phillip Djwa, Phillip [at] agentic DOT ca |
| Volunteers: | Vanessa Turke, Vanessa [at] imagexmedia DOT com |
| Presenters/Keynotes: | Chris Geoghegan, chris [at] imagexmedia DOT com |
| Training: | Dale McGladdery, dale.mcgladdery [at] gmail DOT com |
| General Inquires: | Vanessa Turke, Vanessa [at] imagexmedia DOT com |
The Conference
Here’s what we’ve nailed down about the conference so far:
| Date: | October 2 & 3, 2010 |
| Venue: | UBC Robson Square, Vancouver, BC |
| Tracks: | Developer Design & Theme Site Architecture & Administration Business & Project Management Birds of a Feather |
| Financing: | The conference is primarily financed from sponsorship, with a small contribution coming from ticket sales. |
| Organizing: | There are no paid organizing positions. We’re all volunteer. |
Combining PNW IRC channels
Hey everybody!
So currently there are three Drupal channels for Pacific Northwest cities - #drupal-portland, #drupal-seattle and #drupal-vancouver. Right now there is a lot of overlap between these channels - people who hang out in two or three, but a lot of the time the individual channels are pretty dead. Additionally, since the Drupal Summit last year, there seems to be more of a broad community feeling between all the groups than there has in the past. So I was thinking maybe we should just do away with the three channels and form a new #drupal-pnw channel. It would bring more of us together and for many remove the need to join two or three channels individually. Local-only discussions could still happen on the groups, as it does already really.
