DrupalCamp Florida 2010 Hotel?
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,

Potential Participating Non-Profit Organization for DrupalCamp 2010
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.
Read moreWhat to call day 2 of DrupalCamp Florida?
At Saturday's most-excellent central Florida Drupal meetup, we had a discussion about what we should call day 2 of DrupalCamp. As you may or may not know, this year, we're adding a second day to DrupalCamp Florida where we're going to be building a full site for a local non-profit organization. We're going to pre-select an organization prior to the event and do some initial legwork, but 100% of the development will be done on day 2 of the camp.
