DrupalCamp

We'd like to make the benefits of sponsoring DrupalCampNYC 7 more clear as folks work on finalizing the exact date (late Nov/Early Dec).

Cost:
Any amount is accepted.

Benefits (regardless of size of the donation):

All sponsors receive:

• An 8.5x11 inch poster with their company name and/or logo
• Logos on the event page on groups.drupal.org
• A thank you at the opening and other announcements during the camp

Just wanted to let all the surrounding areas know that if you're looking for a DrupalCamp that's only a few hours away, we have one waiting at DrupalCamp Montreal 2009: The Education Edition. It's taking place at McGill University on October 17th-18th. We're happy to say that Webchick will be presenting a session or two! We have over 80 attendees already registered and are growing at nearly 10 sign-ups per day!

At the meeting tonight we started the planning process for DrupalCamp7. The date is still TBD but we're looking at the end of November or beginning of December. I volunteered to coordinate assembling a list of sessions and presenters so I'll kick that off here.

If you're interested in presenting a topic or would like to suggest a topic then post a comment on this page. As the date approaches we'll consolidate this into a wiki page to match up ideas and presenters.

People Looking To Carpool, please post your info here.

2 Non-drivers in Brooklyn, NY looking for rides. email: david "at" povertysdemise.org

Driver from Stamford, CT (pwdowling@yahoo.com) coming. Plenty of space for others. I'll be going across 287 to the Tappan Zee, then straight up 87 to New Paltz. Planning to get there for 9 am or so to help set up (so leaving 7:30 am ish). Not sure when I'm going home yet. Give me a holler.

What is DrupalCamp?

DrupalCamp Hudson Valley will be a 1 day "no-holds-barred discussion, workshop/code-a-thon involving the Free Software content management system Drupal." Here you can learn about what drupal is, what it can do, and how to setup your own drupal website for yourself or your group. If you've already been using drupal it is a great opportunity to get answers to your questions from drupal experts and find out about new modules and the state-of-the art of drupal. There will be breakout rooms as well for those looking to discuss specific topics and collaborate on projects.

Is there any Drupalcamps or Drupal meetups planned in New York this coming winter?

Following an inspiring evening at Drupal Beers, it seems a good time to start thinking about the next New York DrupalCamp. The last one was at the end of February, so if we are to have it six months later that would be late August/early September. DrupalCon Paris is the 1st - 5th of September.

NYCDrupalCamp6 event will take place Saturday February 28th, 2009 at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn.

NYC Drupal Camps are free events, but we do need some sponsors in order to make it happen. Please get in touch with Eric to discuss sponsoring the event. As we have done in the past, any funds left over after we cover the costs of the event will be either donated to the Drupal Association or held to cover expenses of the next camp.

Event details
When :: Saturday, February 28th
Where :: Polytechnic University in Brooklyn.

I've heard some rumblings about the next drupal camp and figured that the discussion would be best posted here.

I would like to see us do the next Camp before the upcoming DrupalCon, maybe the last weekend in feb. or maybe even two weeks after DrupalCon, the 3rd weekend in March.

Considerations:

[EDIT: Session Overview here, and Drupal Multimedia Companion Site here.]

Aaron Winborn, from Advomatic, will present an overview of the multimedia options for Drupal. In this session, we'll examine best practices for handling Images, Video, and Audio on your sites. We'll cover the modules best suited to specific tasks, with some hands-on examples and site recipes.
