Goals

Not necessarily in order:

  • Introduce new people to Drupal
  • Engage people in the local community who are already doing Drupal - get to know them, have all of us benefit from sharing ideas, work, etc.
  • Bring further awareness/scrutiny/legitimacy to Drupal, e.g. be visible to and engage with U of MN campus decision-makers
  • Make new friends
  • Provide personal / professional networking opportunities
  • Do some Drupal Good (e.g. code or doc sprint for larger community)
  • Be open, informal, shar-ey
  • Provide resources on how to use Drupal in your organization - training, consulting, assistance resources

Camp Planning Committee:

return to top

The Drupal Camp Twin Cities Planning Committee is excited to bring the very first Drupal Camp to the Twin Cities area. The committee includes people with solid experience planning and running successful businesses based on Drupal. Moreover, we have had lots and lots of practice planning smaller events: we successfully organized and ran a 2-day 'DrupalDaze' event in 2008; we organized and ran a Drupal track at this years Minnebar (~1,000 participants) as a trial run for this camp; we organize and manage 3 local meetups per month — the TC Drupal Users Group, the TC UberCart Users Group, and the TC Drupal Happy Hour. So we're proud of our experience and history organizing community events, and confident we can produce a world-class Drupal Camp in the Twin Cities. The planning committee includes:

Planning meetings are held by conference call on Wednesday mornings at 10:30-11:30 central time.

	Conference Dial-in Number: (661) 673-8600

	Participant Access Code: 131847#

Thanks to Chad for setting this up. The meetings generally use EtherPad to share notes and keep minutes. The minutes themselves are kept on the Drupal Camp Twin Cities Planning Committee Meeting Agendas website. Project tasks are being tracked on a project page set up by Jer and hosted by Advantage Labs. The budget is kept in a spreadsheet set up by Keith on Google Docs. There is a mailing list, drupalcamp@tcdrupal.org, for organizers to discuss and plan the camp. There is another mailing list, contact@tcdrupal.org, which will be advertised on the website for people looking for information. Eventually, we should have a third sign-up mailing list for sending out announcements. Drew set up a twitter account, DrupalCampMN for tweets.
