Hey Matt - I went to the Drupal Camp Chicago 2008 last year, and I had a very limited knowledge of Drupal at the time. The good news is I've advanced. However, will there be a schedule of the DCC published soon with the general topics covered?

I'll likely go anyway because I'd like to find a like-minded entrepreneurial drupal developer, but it would be helpful if I knew the topics and whether or not I would be able to keep up. Thanks for all your work in setting it up.

Jordan

Drupalcamp Chicago will feature a unique blend of both pre-planned session programming and BarCamp-style “unconference” content, including hands-on training and opportunities for individuals with common interests (a.k.a. “Birds of a Feather”) to meet for informal discussion without any pre-planned agenda.

The full schedule for Drupalcamp Chicago will be announced in late November, but the tentative outline is:
Saturday, December 12

* 8:30am – 9:00am: Registration
* 9:00am – 10:00am: 4 sessions + unconference
* 10:15am – 11:15am: 4 sessions + unconference
* 11:30am – 12:30pm: 4 sessions + unconference
* 12:30 – 2:00pm: Lunch
* 2:00pm – 3:00pm: 4 sessions + unconference
* 3:15pm – 4:00pm: 4 sessions + unconference
* 4:15pm – 5:00pm: 4 sessions + unconference

Sunday, December 13

* 9:30am – 3:00pm: Unconference

Refreshments will be available on Sunday morning.

Hi Jordan -

We'll be basing the programming for this year's Drupalcamp in part on the experience level of the registered attendees, as well as speaker and topic diversity, and the ratings received for each session proposal until November 20. There will definitely be content available for people at all levels, both in the form of scheduled sessions and BoFs, hands-on training, etc. Hope to see you there!
