Read on for all the details

Full Details

What
What is a DrupalCamp? For those of you new to Drupal or community events - Inspired by the BarCamp events, DrupalCamp is a small (to medium sized) gathering of like minded people to discuss and learn about Drupal, share ideas, get involved in the community, connect and network with people - the people you see so often online.

DrupalCamp Australia is a FREE event put on by the people, for the people and with the help of some friendly sponsors.
We will have a hybrid of formality - several presentations will be organized before hand and the rest will be filled in and figured out on the day. Which means we need your involvement! If you would like to make a presentation or have a topic for discussion, please post it as a comment to sessions list. We will take these presentations first when we are making the schedule on the day.

How Much $$?
Its $0 - FREE! Yes, in case you misread that, this event only costs your time and attention. We are accepting donations though. We are only able to provide this through the generous support of our sponsors. Even though it is free, we have limited resources and can only accommodate 45 people. So sign up quick!

When
We will have a full day of fun on Saturday, October 16th, 2008. We will open up for registration/greetings at 9:00am and actually get things kicked off at around 9:30ish and likely finish around 5pm. We will probably move to a nearby pub to continue the socializing and for dinner/drinks.

Where
We have secured a computer room(s) at the University of Sydney.

Options re - video - how to

superjacent — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 11:22:55 +0000

Hope someone can help.

If I want to store video files at my site, what underlying programs do I need to ultimately let users watch the videos. Following on from that, how within Drupal would this be achieved.

I'm helping my brother out with this one but in the past for my sites I've always just linked to YouTube and let YouTube handle the process. My brother has a 100 mb video file and the last time I checked that's too big for YouTube.

Steve.

Drupal Asia Pacific Conference 2008

rcross — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 11:30:43 +0000

UPDATE - This event's details have changed and has been postponed a new date. Please visit http://drupalapc.org for more details

I am pleased to announce that the next large gathering of Drupalers will be held in Sydney, Australia from May 18th - 22nd 2008 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Center Darling Harbor in conjunction with the Open CeBIT expo and conference. We're inviting people from all over the region - and that means you!

The Drupal Asia Pacific Conference is a major event to gather Drupalers to learn, discuss and advance Drupal. It is also a great opportunity to network with other community members that operate in the Asia Pacific region and who may not be able to attend community events on the other side of the world.

The conference will feature dual tracks over 3 days and a single theatre over a day and half that will also be open to the broader Open CeBIT audience. We are partnering with the Joomla community to host a website building contest which will be prominently highlighted at the OpenCeBIT Conference. All attendees will be provided free entry to the CeBIT expo (20th - 22nd) and offered discounted tickets to the Open CeBIT conference. We will also be hosting a booth as part of the CeBIT Exhibition to educate and promote Drupal to businesses, government, and individual attendees of the exhibition.

The organising team is working hard to finalize conference details before opening registration and the session proposal system. We are also finalizing sponsorship benefits packages. Watch http://drupalapc.org (or the mailing list) and the Drupal.org home page (rss feed) for future announcements. You can also join us on Groups.Drupal. In the mean time, start making your travel arrangements and gathering your session proposal information. If you are interested in forming part of the Drupal team for the website contest, please contact us.
