BarCamp Vancouver Fri August 25 - Sunday August 27
Love to have some Drupal sessions (2-5 minute lightning talks, demos, discussions about questions, all the way to full blown presentations) at BarCamp Vancouver (a 24 hour period probably starting the evening of Friday August 25th)
A "Bar Camp" is a "unconference" like DrupalCamp Seattle. Everyone is expected to participate (blog, discuss, lead a session, give a demo or lightning talk, etc.) and the schedule is planned the "day of" at the start of the event (although you are encouraged to put up your session topic on the <a href="http://ba

New Location for Future Meetings???
Hey All;
Listed below is a link to a directory showing 911 Media Arts Center here in Seattle. 911 Media Arts Center was incorporated in 1984 and is considered Washington State's premier Media Arts Center. Our mission is to support the expressive use of innovative media tools by providing the access, training and environment needed to create/exhibit works of enduring merit and artistic excellence. On this note, it seems appropriate that we offer our facilities for any future Drupal camps, and/or monthly meetings that we may hold in the future. Please take a look and let me know your thoughts, questions, etc. Thanks...

Bootstrapping Your Brain for Drupal Core Modules
Drupal Camp Afternoon Session
· Bootstrapping your site
· http://defectivebydesign.org - bootstrapped live
· Expectation setting. Boris’ comment about 4 month – clients have time to do the tasks they have to do that they had no idea
· Defective by design – get into public’s mind that DRM is being pushed on us, it is wrong, we can push back, to get press, to sign up members and to convert members to Free Software Foundation
· F2F work with online coordination and some online interation
· Started with 24 people and one month later there are 5000. In the last week signed up 1500. Did a call in day against the RIAA, direct calls to executives, 200 people logged their call, was dug, slashdotted right away. Crossposted within 3-4 hours. Digg suppressed the story after it got on the front page and banned Henri Poole for a violation but they did not specify the violation.
Notes from Non Developer Wed Session 1
Drupal Camp
· Is a CMS, can create community, but can be used for other things. Do whatever you want if you have the resources. Developer/programming skills. Out of the box is ok to have forums, blogs, users on the system, public or password protected.
· Theme layer – you can make it look like anything you want. Rain City does a lot of different kinds of looks and layouts using Drupal.
· Not terribly easy to learn, but all documented on how to create a theme.
· Event registration – there is an event module. Plug in additional functionality. Section on Drupal site called projects or downloads. Can add forums- you enable module.
Drupalcamp After Hours at the Elysian Brewing Company
For all you Drupal Gurus and Newcomers currently attending the conference, Raincity Studios, one of your lovely sponsors invites you to a Day One wrap-up soiree at 6pm this evening, just down the road from Hugo House at the Elysian Brewing Company @ 1221 E Pike St.
Enjoy the rest of your day and we'll continue the sessions into the brewery!
Check out more Drupal Camp info and live blogging on our sessions on Raincity's blog The Standard.

my acommo fell through
I'm making the jaunt from Calgary. I had aranged to stay at a friends house, but that's fallen through. I was wondering if anyone has a couch that I could surf on. Otherwise I'll stay at the HI hostel.
Read morePrep Work
I thought it would be good if before the event, everyone got to know a little more about what each other has already done with drupal (if any) and what we are really interested in learning / doing.
The 2 sessions that are basically just hacking sessions are a chance for you to really do what you have been wanting to do and have a bunch of drupal guys all around you.
This could even be a chance to work with others and have a collaborative effort on a module or theme?
I would really love if some people would like to sit down and help pave the way for JQuery. As of the other day, The AJAX Developers group made a final discussion with the help of Steven Wittens on choosing a library to attempt at implement into core and there many tasks to accomplish this.

Sandbox Question
I know this is a rookie question, but I've never set up a personal sandbox on my laptop, can anyone give a brief overview on how to set up a php environment?
Mac or PC?
On the new Macs I think, but am not sure, everything is pre-installed. I have an older Mac and I had to install MySQL and enable PHP in Apache. It was a while ago so I don't remember the details.
On Windows I believe people are having good results with xampp: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
Or you can do the installs individually, You'll need Apache, PHP and MySQL. I took this route because I hadn't heard of xampp.

DrupalCamp Sleeping Arrangements
I'll be coming down from Vancouver and am wondering if anyone involved has some extra floor space to share (or even a back yard to camp in! ;-) for sleeping arrangements, or if anyone else is also figuring out where to stay and would like to share a hotel room to cut costs? Please post or <a href="mailto:jordan@communicopia.com>contact me for either.
Cheers,
Jordan Lewin
Ride Share / Car Pooling Arrangements

Advice for Dealing with the Border Crossing
A question for fellow Canucks heading south: Business or Pleasure?
In as much as I'm taking vacation time and my day job isn't sponsoring this trip, it's pleasure. In as much as I would take money for Drupal work if it were offered, this is business training. Is there a "best" answer to give the nice customs official while he or she holds the fate of my next 3 days in the balance?
Since there isn't a registration confirmation document should I bring along a strategic print out (time/place) from the web site?
Cheers.
