Does anyone have Drupal on a Stick?
Over in the DrupalCampUK event planning thread started by Galooph, Richardcanoe mentioned:
Read more"There are lots of Apache - MySQL - PHP implementations out there now for both windows & MacOS which are designed to be hosted on a USB stick.
Attendees could have a drupal on a stick as something to use at a DrupalCamp, but also to take away and play with. This would enable non tech users to get to grips wth the look and feel and test modules and settings.

Software Libre para Oportunidades en La Red
english version
Una vez más puedo decir que este evento superó mis expectativas, un verdadero éxito!
Muchas gracias a Yannick Warnier, Nicolas Borda, Carlos A. Horna Vallejos y al pastor Luis A. Nuñez por las excelentes charlas que dieron y por correr con todos sus gastos. Según lo que pude percibir, los asistentes quedaron muy contentos con todas y cada una de las charlas. Creo que el aporte dado a la comunidad del Software Libre y Drupal es invaluable. Me quito el sombrero por ustedes.
Les cuento la Historia Previa en mi blog.

More coverage of regional conferences on drupal.org
I think it is crazy that the regional events don't get more coverage over at the drupal.org main site. DrupalCampLA just had a 400+ person event, but if you put DrupalCampLA into the d.o search box, all you get is a forum post from last year where one of the badcamp organizers mentions them as inspiration. We (badcamp) will probably have around 300 people show up and I am sure DCNYC was huge. g.d.o placement is nice, but d.o is missing out on a big marketing opportunity by not bragging about these events more.

Onsite video handling for events
I was talking with Amazon on IRC about video handling, and he suggested I post this here as it might be useful to event organizers.
At DrupalCamp Seattle we spent a lot of time talking about how to handle the video from the sessions, and one of the conclusions we came to was that it needed to be handled ASAP because the longer it waits the more people move onto other things. Initially we were going to have a "video sprint" right after the camp to handle the capturing/transcoding/uploading. Instead, one of our local users Gary Varnell (http://groups.drupal.org/user/6388) came up with a way to capture/transcode on the fly to his Linux laptop over firewire. He wrote a blog post detailing his setup including the perl scripts he wrote to handle it:

Drupalers Meet Up at Machu Pichu (Perú)
I would like to have a Drupal event at Perú and did not found more representative place than Machu Picchu, Inca people were genius who constructed a sanctuary upon a rock solid mountain in the meddle of high jungle. It is also a wonderful place for vacations and opportunity to meet people outside U.S. and Europe. Also, Perú was recently qualified with "investment grade", making our country an attractive choice for investment and businesses.
