drupalcon

Conforme consulta popular, podemos afirmar que o Rio de Janeiro e Campinas são as cidades favoritas para sediar o DrupalCon Brasil 2010.

Partindo para uma análise mais técnica, precisamos saber da capacidade de cada cidade para realizar o evento, i.e. onde exatamente será realizado o evento, quais são os custos envolvidos, que equipe local se dispõem a organizar o evento, etc.

On What should be the next step for this group?, the Director of Events for the Drupal Association wrote:

Then you need to look at the events that have been held and evaluate them.
Then you should have some more events.
After a few rounds of this, there should be something to talk about.

I think it would be important to open a discussion about Cary's suggestion on the group's next steps. That is to say, experience with medium-sized events like national DrupalCamps, as the essential road to the international DrupalCon. Members of this group who are DrupalCamp organisers -like Bevan and Ryan- have been too humble to open a thread like this, but let's start it anyway... ;)

We are excited to announce the DrupalCon Asia-Pacific Organisers group. DCAPO intends to lay foundations that will facilitate international Drupal Conferences (DrupalCons) in the Asia-Pacific region.

DCAPO welcomes and needs input and assistance from Drupal users and communities throughout the Asia-Pacific region. DrupalCons are a lot of work, and are only possible through the community's effort. Please join the DCAPO group to share your opinions and experience, volunteer your time, or nominate yourself or others for roles on the selection team.

DCAPO will later announce a call to the community to suggest and research locations for the first Asia-Pacific DrupalCon. Note that a lot of work goes into researching locations. The DCAPO selection team will only be able to seriously consider locations with suitable venues, dates and event management companies, financial estimates, potential audience and motivated local teams.

But first, as much of the Asia-Pacific Drupal community as possible needs to get involved. You can help by translating and reposting this announcement on other websites where Asia-Pacific Drupal users and communities are likely to find it. Don't forget to note any translations and reposts in the DCAPO group so that we can track progress and share translations with each other.

La muchachada brasilera ya se está preparando para proponer el DrupalCon en Brasil para el año que viene.

Personalmente me encanta Brasil, y luego de las tareas que hicimos aquí con el Drupalcamp puedo decir que no es sencillo organizar un evento, y mucho menos uno de carácter internacional que se espera que supere a los anteriores.

Es por ello que mi opinión personal es la de apoyar la organización en Brasil (el que además sirva de mini vacación no tiene nada que ver!!! ;p

Stem waar je de volgende Drupalcon in de EU in 2010 en 2011 zou willen laten plaatsvinden. Deze stem is niet bepalend, maar wel een criterium op een lijst van criteria waar de besluit vorming op gebaseerd zal zijn.

The Scandinavian team introduced a new element, and we realized that the IRC meetings are actually very valuable.
We would like to have all three teams up for a meeting (the London team is following tonight), to complement our scoring.
The Germans are missing, as of now; when could you do an IRC meeting?

Because of these IRC meetings, we have been pushing our internal meeting date as well, so everyone has a chance, of communicating with us, before we make our recommendation to the DA.

If youre interested in figuring out what it is we wanna do with drupalcon in copenhagen 2010 or 2011
Then we now invite to a official IRC meeting the next 2 wednesday in the #drupalcon IRC room.

The meetings will each be about 2 hours

• 7 october 20.00 - copenhagen time
• 14 october 20.00 - copenhagen time

The idea of this meetings is that we wanna answer anyone that have any questions about anything related to Drupalcon Copenhagen. We wanna talk about them out in the open and give you the answers straight up.

als we nog een keer willen tenderen dan hebben we nog een dag! http://groups.drupal.org/node/27616
