So we are having our DrupalCamp on May 10th. One hell of a crowded meeting last night, so clearly DrupalCampPDX is something we as a group are excited about. Folks came from other parts of Oregon too, including one from Eugene, a sure sign that it's going to be a statewide event at the very least. I volunteered to organize programming. Of course I'm really a Joomla! spy, so get ready to talk a lot about Joomla!. Okay, okay, I'm kidding, no need to write a Grant_is_a_Sod_Bastard module.
A group of volunteers will soon be getting together and talking about programming and general organization and touring the available function space. This will give us a better idea what we can do with programming. Not surprisingly, given the name, you can expect to see plenty of BarCamp-style programming, but we will also have some pre-planned topics, many with a panel of speakers.
Of course programming content will not be determined by me, it will be determined by all of you. Our resident cheerleader drewish set up a wiki (thank you drewish) so please add your panel ideas there, and mention whether you are willing to join a panel on any panel ideas already listed. It's open to all of you so please chip in. We will be having some items where there will be 3 to 5 speakers (one of them a moderator), so feel free to add yourself to an item if you want to volunteer. Also add yourself if you are willing to present either lightening talks, lightening presentations or lightening demonstrations, all around 5-6 mins max, and timed. With enough interest we will group several of you together and make for a fun hour or two.
Please reply to this post if you have any general comments or ideas on programming that may not fit on the wiki.
Please also reply here if you're willing to help me with the organizational side of programming, as time is quite short. Drewish, you are involved by default I think ;) (and I assume you will be at the "Organizing Committee" meetings).
Thanks,
Grant
