我们很兴奋地宣布成立亚太DrupalCon会议组织者小组。亚太DrupalCon会议组织者计划打好基础来促进在亚太地区召开Drupal国际会议(DrupalCon)。

亚太DrupalCon会议组织者欢迎Drupal使用者及社群参与,並需要大家提供意见和协助。DrupalCon会议工作繁重,只有通过大家的努力,才有可能实现完成。请您们参加亚太DrupalCon会议组织者小组,分享您们的看法和经验、志愿献出您们的时间、或者是自我提名或提名他人来负起遴选工作组的任务。

不过,首先须有尽多的亚太Drupal社群共同参与涉入。您们可以通过翻译及另外登载此通告在其他亚太Drupal使用者及社群有机会看到的网址。请勿忘了去 注意亚太DrupalCon会议组织者小组的任何翻译及转载,以便我们能够观察到进展情况,同时大家也能相互分享交流译文。

DCAPO's activities, status and goals

Cary asked me to put together a summary of DCAPO's activities, goals and status for the Drupal Association board report. I thought this would also make a suitable opportunity to recognize and celebrate our successes and work to date. Here is what I sent him. (Sorry that I didn't open this up for collaboration. I would have liked to, but time didn't permit it.)

DCAPO To do list (Wiki)

This is a wiki page. Please edit it! See also the discussion for comments about this list.

Everyone can help with these tasks. Just do it. Thank you!

DrupalCon

  • Research and suggest DCAP locations
  • Consider planning and running a poll or survey to evaluate who is interested in helping make DCAP happen;
    • Find out where DCAPO members are geographically
    • Find out what resources they could commit to a DCAP
    • Find out what the cross-section of that is so that we can locate "hot spots"

Welcome to DCAPO

Welcome to the 40-odd new members of the group, and to the many members of this group who have been quietly listening on the sidelines.

I'd love to hear from all members (new and old, active and inactive) why you joined, what you hope to get out of this group, and what you can share with or contribute to DCAP. If you like, feel free to introduce yourself too! :)

Cheers,
Bevan/

Locations, in more detail

Now that we have a more members of the group (about 40 more, total 108, though not all are active), I think we should restart conversations about DrupalCon Asia-Pacific locations.

In order to keep discussion focussed, please consider locations very seriously before suggesting them. We should be looking for a place with;

  • a suitable venue for a 500-2000 person conference, with 2-6 tracks (concurrent sessions), keynotes for all attendees, and 2-6 days in length
  • Drupal events (camp, summit, mini-conf etc), especially larger national ones with more than 100 attendees

DrupalCamps 2010 in Asia-Pacific - The road to DrupalCon

On What should be the next step for this group?, the Director of Events for the Drupal Association wrote:

> First you need to identify your market and all of the interested parties therein.
Then you need to look at the events that have been held and evaluate them.
Then you should have some more events.
After a few rounds of this, there should be something to talk about.

I think it would be important to open a discussion about Cary's suggestion on the group's next steps. That is to say, experience with medium-sized events like national DrupalCamps, as the essential road to the international DrupalCon. Members of this group who are DrupalCamp organisers -like Bevan and Ryan- have been too humble to open a thread like this, but let's start it anyway... ;)

DrupalCon Asia-Pacific Organizers Invite You to Participate

We are excited to announce the DrupalCon Asia-Pacific Organisers group. DCAPO intends to lay foundations that will facilitate international Drupal Conferences (DrupalCons) in the Asia-Pacific region.

DCAPO welcomes and needs input and assistance from Drupal users and communities throughout the Asia-Pacific region. DrupalCons are a lot of work, and are only possible through the community's effort. Please join the DCAPO group to share your opinions and experience, volunteer your time, or nominate yourself or others for roles on the selection team.

DCAPO will later announce a call to the community to suggest and research locations for the first Asia-Pacific DrupalCon. Note that a lot of work goes into researching locations. The DCAPO selection team will only be able to seriously consider locations with suitable venues, dates and event management companies, financial estimates, potential audience and motivated local teams.

But first, as much of the Asia-Pacific Drupal community as possible needs to get involved. You can help by translating and reposting this announcement on other websites where Asia-Pacific Drupal users and communities are likely to find it. Don't forget to note any translations and reposts in the DCAPO group so that we can track progress and share translations with each other.
