New IRC channel #drupal-brighton & WIDT - What I'm Drupaling Today
With our next BAD Ass Camp fast approaching I thought it might be a good idea for us to have our own IRC channel so I set up #drupal-brighton.
I'm logged into IRC most days so if you're around pop in say lo!
I also set up a new group where I'm posting what I'm up to each day. There's no rules, so random stuff welcome.

Hi all,
As you've no doubt seen I managed to make some time last week to get the http://BADCampUK.net site up and running with session submissions and tickets. Apart from that, I've booked http://theskiff.org and asked the Student Room if they are able to let us use their offices on the Saturday for another session room and a couple of spaces for BoF sessions, which would be nice.

BAD Ass Drupal Weekender - September 14/15/16 2012
After 80+ people turned up in April for BADCampUK we decided it'd be a cool thing to have another event during this year's Brighton Digital Festival! Free & low-cost training on Friday, sessions on Saturday, and BarCamp-style on Sunday.
The theme this year is "From Zero to Drupalero in one BAD Ass weekend" and the focus is on Brighton's Digital Media sector, so if you have suitable sessions get preparing!
Site now launched:

Hi,
The Brighton Digital Festival (http://2012.brightondigitalfestival.co.uk/) is on again this year and have extended deadline for entries for a week.
I'd previously tweeted that we were going to do it on the weekend of 21/22/23 September as this was in line with the next Drupal Global Training Days (we missed the first as I was in Portland) but I've since found out that the GTD is actually 14th - not sure if that was changed recently or I read the wrong thing.

UK Drupal Association
I'm Steven Jones, I organise the West Midlands Drupal user group, which holds regular monthly meetups. I've found it hard to get going with organising things and to work out what other local groups there are and how to advertise the group etc.
I have the feeling that the Drupal community in the UK is fairly disorganised in a overall sense, individual groups seem to be organised, but as a whole, we are not. I would like to change this.
I propose that 'we' should create some kind of 'UK Drupal Association' that can act as a central body for a few things:

I've discussed this idea to some extent on the dev and docs mailing lists, it was suggested that I also post here. In brief:
I think it would be great if we (the broad Drupal community) could put together a series of online courses which teach people different aspects of Drupal.

City selection for DrupalCon 2010 still wide open
Please note that the list of cities from http://groups.drupal.org/node/26241 (as per the BoF in Paris) is just a list of possible suggestions. Please see the draft document that has been proposed for city selection guidelines: http://groups.drupal.org/node/27246
The goal is to publish that document at the end of this week (after incorporating feedback from the community) and to start receiving city proposals immediately after that. Since we need to have recommendations to give to the Drupal Association by October 15 the proposal phase will have to be short. The proposal phase will probably end October 1. After that we will have the proposals reviewed by the events agency to gather their feedback in time for the October 15 deadline.
If you want DrupalCon in your city/country in 2010 please review the document and add your feedback!
