Drupalcamp

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!

Where do we stand video taping sessions at the Philly-area DrupalCamp in 7/31?

I'll volunteer to tape at least one track of presentations day of, and post them on Youtube if we want to get the OK from presenters to publish it this way.

I just wanted to let you know that I went ahead and registered #drupaldelphia on freenode, so if you're in or near Philly, or if you want to help out with DrupalCamp Philly, please join our new irc room!

Are the forums to remain public?
I was going to post more detailed information about housing/room shares, but didn't want it being publicly accessible.

That being said, the "What would you like from Philly Drupal Camp?" forum is suited for public viewing.

Thoughts?

We should decide that soon, I think. I put together a design that I think is pretty hot and in tune with the new theme for drupaldelphia. They have to be paid for, tho, so we'll need a sponsor or decide on a registration fee that will cover them. I'd like to order them in the next 7 days or so in order to be sure we'll have them in time. I know a few suppliers that do good work, but I'm open to suggestion there.

I'm attaching the design.

A lot of progress was made at the planning meeting on Wednesday.

We agreed on a date of July 31 and a location of U. of Penn campus (thanks Penn folks), so mark your calendars

Here's a central place we can use to talk about what we want to include on the Drupaldelphia site.
I thought a good place to start would be looking at the Drupal 4 Design and Drupalcamp Colorado sites to get a sense of some features that are commonly included on Drupalcamp sites.

Feel free to edit as needed.

Registration

Profile Fields

The Design4Drupal site didn't ask for any additional fields on registration. DCCO asked for:

• Company
• Website

We decided at the Philly Drupal Camp planning meeting that instead of squeezing a volunteer to build us a site for the camp (to handle registration, session ideas, planning, spreading the word, possible ecommerce etc etc) we can all come together and do a quick group sprint to build the site. We'll build it with the plan of reusing much of it for future camps, and potentially sharing the codebase/database for camps elsewhere to use as a starting point.

Mason volunteered to work on a logo for T-shirt usage and for the site logo.

Let's start brainstorming ideas for tracks, sessions, and speakers for Philly DrupalCamp. As a reminder, here's what we came up with last year.

Thoughts on tracks? Last year we did beginner and advanced. We could do design vs. development/programming. Or coding vs. business. I don't expect we'll have enough content/people for three, so I think we should stick with two. Thoughts?

Hi all,

It's been a busy spring, but we're closing in on some plans for a Philly DrupalCamp.

We're looking at two possible locations at Penn, and tentatively looking at July 24 or 31 -- both Fridays.

First of all, does that work for everyone? Sound like a reasonable venue and timeframe? There's a lot of interest around Drupal at Penn, so their participation as a venue will bring lots of folks into the mix, as well as keeping overall costs down.
