DrupalCamp

Bonjour,

Le 2e DrupalCamp en Belgique aura lieu à Gand les 11 & 12 décembre : http://drupalcamp-be.org

Dans la ville où Drupal est né, Kristof Van Tomme (l'organisateur de la DrupalCon Szeged) rassemble la crème des Drupalers de Flandre durant deux jours.

Les sessions se dérouleront majoritairement en anglais et le programme définitif sera communiqué le 1er décembre prochain.

La qualité des interventions, que l'on pressent exceptionnelle, a provoqué un "sold out" au bout d'une dizaine de jours seulement... Mais une solution sera certainement trouvée dans les prochains jours.

Siamo felici di comunicarvi che quest'anno si terrà per la prima volta in Italia il DrupalCamp!

Questo evento ha lo scopo di mettere in comunicazione persone che utilizzano Drupal (a qualsiasi livello) e di favorire lo scambio di opinioni e di conoscenze, permettendo a tutti di contribuire.

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

> First you need to identify your market and all of the interested parties therein.
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... ;)

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

I've been in contact with a number of people around the state regarding DrupalCamp Florida and I've had several people ask me about hotels near the event.

Perhaps someone local to the Orlando/Altamonte Springs area (whose name isn't Andrew) can step up and find a hotel near MindComet's offices and see if we can work out some sort of group rate? This would be valuable information that we can put on the web site and it might entice more people to attend and stay for both days.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Thanks,

With plans for Florida DrupalCamp 2010 well underway and our discussions about building a site for a non-profit organization on Day 2 of the camp, I figured I'd create a place to start capturing all of the good ideas as well as names of potential non-profit partners for the event.

DrupalCamp Austin 2009 will be held November 14-15, 2009, at the Norris Conference Centers in Austin, Texas. Admission is limited, so register today!

Session submissions are open to all attendees. So far, we've lined up several excellent speakers:

• Josh Koenig of Chapter Three
• Matt Cheney of Chapter Three
• Ben Finklea of Volacci
• Nathan Smith, creator of the 960.gs grid system

DrupalSouth Wellington will be on Saturday and Sunday 23-24 January 2010 – just after LCA. Note that these are not the dates announced earlier this week on Twitter and a few other places (We were were missing some information we thought we had).

The venue is in central Wellington and is amazing! It is just a few hundred metres from Linux.conf.au and the Wellington Convention Center. Keep listening for the announcement sometime in the next two weeks – as soon as contracts are signed and deposits are paid.

Our sponsors have partnered with us to help make DrupalSouth the biggest Drupal event ever in NZ. They are;

• .nz – who bring you great .nz domains like *.geek.nz
• Catalyst IT – Specialists in Open Source Technologies
• Egressive – Drupal development, Linux support and hosting

We still have space for plenty more sponsorship – please get in touch if you want to be a part of NZ's greatest Drupal event.

We've confirmed attendance of our featured and keynote speakers from overseas;

• Angela Byron (webchick), Drupal 7 core maintainer
• Emma Jane Hogbin, (emmajane), co-author of Front End Drupal, uber-documenter & Drupal evangelist
• Addisun Berry, (add1sun), Drupal documentation lead
• Liz Henry (lizhenry), Blogher.com developer – the largest community for women bloggers, built on Drupal since 2006
