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,
-mike
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.

DrupalCamp Florida Flyer - Version for Non Profits
Title: DrupalCamp Florida 2010
Graphic: DrupalCmp Fla Logo
Open Source software tools are a great resource for non-profit organizations to cost-effectively connect, communicate and activate donors and members using the Internet. One of these free tools for website creation and management is Drupal, a content management system that uses a modular approach that allows organizations to easily customise their websites and use blogs, video and user content to build their communities.

Thanks to everyone to coming out for the October, 2009 Central Florida Meetup at MindComet's offices in Altamonte Springs.
We started off with a demonstration/discussion/exploration of the latest Drupal 7 development version. We took about an hour to explore all the new features. We spent a significant amount of time with the Dashboard module, fields in core, taxonomy as fields (wow), and ImageAPI in core (sweet).

Read moreMaintain the Momentum in Miami
Thanks to everyone who came out for last night's South Florida Drupal User's meetup! It was a great turnout for your first meetup in a long time, now all that needs to be done is to build on the momentum we gained last night.
The 15+ people who attended last night seemed to really enjoy it - thanks for making Ryan and myself feel at home. One word of advice, next time DrupalEasy.com offers to buy you a beverage, you should take it - I got out of there quite inexpensively last night!
