Are there any plans in the works for DrupalDrinks on Saturday night? I won't be able to make it on Saturday, but I'd love to catch up with those whom I know, and get to know those who I've never met.

All that learning might hurt your brain without a little injection of alchohol- anyone interested in meeting up after the Saturday sessions for a drink and/or some food? If so, when/where?

Hey all! I see we've reached our cap for the two days which is exciting!

Some industrious individual started a waiting list. So, here is what I propose:

Everyone in the first 120 - update your status! If you can't make it, remove your name and bump up the first person on the waiting list.

We've secured the dates for the weekend of March 29 & 30th. This is short notice, but I am still convinced we can hold a stellar DrupalCamp on those dates.

The one issue is that Polytechnic cannot provide the large room we are accustomed to for the first day but it is available for the second day.

We have several available options:

A) Just use a smaller room. Our cap is 120 anyway, and I am thinking, while it may be crowded, for our brief meet and greet a smaller room will work fine.

[update march 20] Come on folks! There were a lot of offers made but few are following up that offer with sponsorship.

We need your help to make this event a success!

If you had posted an offer of sponsorship in the earlier discussions of drupal camp, you should have received an email from me about it.

If you are interested in sponsoring the upcoming Drupal Camp NYC, please get in touch with me (use the contact tab on my user account ( http://groups.drupal.org/user/1000 )

When last we left our intrepid drupalcamp devotees they had just given up their first set of dates as be too soon and moved to the weekend after DrupalCon Boston.

Alas, our normal location is hosting BarCampNYC the weekend of the 15/16 - which should be a ton of fun, I'll be there. We then, again intrepidly, looked into the weekend after that 22/23 - but remembered that Easter is the 23rd this year, and apparently some people do some stuff for that sometimes.

If people think it would be useful, I can contact the folks that coordinated child care at an event I helped with last year. But I'll need to know what to tell them to expect.

If we were to provide childcare during drupalcamp, how many people might take advantage of it? how many kids might we have, and what are the ages.

This is totally informal and will be used just to garner ideas, not to make decisions. As per our poll I am sending out emails tonight to our possible venues scoping out Mar 15/16 and Mar 22/23.

Anyone who wants to talk in person about the camp, I'll be in front of WTC7 at 6:00 tomorrow night. We can also discuss in post-meetup drinks. Hopefully I can share availability by then.

Once I know a date I can seriously start using volunteers, and will start contacting people off the list we generated. Thanks!

Cheers!

ThirdAge, the ten year old premier destination for Baby Boomers and Aging Mid-Lifers is seeking a technically talented and smart individual looking to join a small team of seasoned web media professionals and lead the internal development efforts in tandem with our third party Drupal development partner, Chapter Three, LLC (http://www.chapterthreellc.com/.) Based in our New York City offices, this individual will be a self-starter and self-manager with demonstrated experience developing and deploying large-scale web development projects.

Hey all, based on the poll, looks like the top dates are:

Jan 26/27
Feb 9/10
And March 15/16

We'd do well to not collide with SXSW so I will be checking the dates at polytechnic in that order. If both of the first two work, we can do a run off vote.

More on all this soon, and thanks to all the people who say they can volunteer, I'll throw out an open list of tasks sometime soonish.

Happy Holidays!

Dear DrupalNYC,

Please know this is absolutely not directed at any individual(s) but there is something I want to say to this group in general.

<suzi climbs onto the soapbox>
I find all the recent discussions around both the meetups and upcoming drupalcamp (paired with various power struggles and micromanagement) annoying and so counter to the open-source and 'barcamp' way of doing things I am inches from not wanting to participate at all.

Wow! This is truly amazing. Normally we hunt for sponsors, not the other way around! Please sign up below, and someone will be in touch with you soon-ish. We're all super busy, so if someone doesn't get right back to you, don't panic, its not because we aren't uber-grateful.

OK, so the previous thread is entirely too long. I am splitting out its issues into separate threads to better move the discussion forward.

Some people want a DrupalCampNYC site, some want just the existing groups.drupal.org page and the barcamp page as was done in the past successfully.

I would like to suggest a compromise. It has been suggested that the barcamp page funnel barcampers to the drupalcampNYC page. Lets reverse that. The people who want to can make a kickass drupal site, but registration is on the barcamp site.

Hello NYCDrupallers!
I had missed a previous meetup or two to the last one so it was good to see you all there. I think things went well, and it has been a joy watching us grow. I remember the meetup, probably a year and a half ago, where it was just me an Jacob sitting in an empty room :) This time I showed up a little late and had to sit outside.
I think we are hitting a critical mass of sorts where we need to start defining a 'meetup' vs. a 'hack-a-thon' vs. a 'lesson' so that we can best serve the needs of everyone around.

DrupalCampNYC3 is over and everything has finally been wrapped up. The camp was a big success bringing over 130 people together for one full day of Drupal Goodness and a second day of developer hacking. As usual the crowd consisted of people from all walks of life from the complete new-to-drupal person to the advanced Drupal hacker. It was a great time. Thanks to everyone that attended!

To my dear New York City, Drupalistas and soon to be Druaplistas,

We are two weeks away from DrupalCamp NYC 2, 20 & 21 Jan. A few of us have been thinking what if we concentrated our efforts on a single project instead of working solely on individual projects? I'm not talking about a classroom setting, but a project (ie install profile, module stuff and theme) to educate each other?

Well here is your opportunity to change the future of one lucky group. Big or small, non-profit or community organization... If you know of a project that can use the assistance of a Drupal site, we need you to nominate them. The lucky organization will also get one year of CivicSpace on Demand (hosted and managed install of Drupal 4.7 and CiviCRM + EMAIL)!

don't put away that sleeping bag! get ready for DrupalCamp NYC 2!!

on 20 & 21 january 2007, we'll be back at Polytechnic University. can you belive that it's only been six months since our last DruaplCamp NYC. seating is limited to 100; register early and stay late! if you have any ideas on sessions or topics, feel free to post them...

if you're organization or company is intersted in sponsering food (breakfast or lunch), snacks, or a happy hour, please contact noel.

see ya' in January!
