This is the planning group for facilitating organization and team-building around GLADCamp 2016 and future GLADCamp conferences.
The next GLADCamp conference, a DrupalCamp serving the Greater Los Angeles Drupal community, is January 21, 2016, at the Pasadena Convention Center.
Conference Website: http://gladcamp.org
Twitter: http://twitter.com/GLADCamp
Working Group: http://groups.drupal.org/gladcamp
Issue Queue: http://drupal.org/project/issues/gladcamp
This group provides the basic groupware collaboration tools that GLADCamp organizers need, such as discussions, wiki pages and polls, is highly specific to GLADCamp and will help keep the volume of email notifications down in other groups. Join us!
We also wish to reduce bottlenecks and use public Drupal.org infrastructure for this planning process rather than use privately-hosted resources such as Redmine, Open Atrium, etc., and encourage transparency and collaboration with the larger Drupal community.

Drupal Sprint Weekend
The annual Global Drupal Sprint Weekend is upon us and anyone interested in learning more about Drupal core and how the Drupal software project is managed and developed will be guided and mentored in the Drupal Way.
We'll help you select tickets in the core issue queue at https://drupal.org/project/issues/drupal to work on so that together as a group we can move Drupal 8 closer to a release date. See https://groups.drupal.org/node/332998 for more details.
GLADCamp.org Code Sprint
Thanks to an amazing team and help from our design and development partners, the GLADCamp.org website is now up! Before we open user registrations and session submissions, the website needs help from volunteers in our community.
We'll be updating the GLADCamp.org website, including descriptions of the non-profit summit and venue and hotel information, and cataloging any remaining bugs in the issue queue at https://drupal.org/project/issues/gladcamp
Open Lab Hours for the Module Development Boot Camp
This weekend is the last best chance for attendees of the Module Development Boot Camp to participate in open lab hours at Droplabs. The boot camp instructors will be on hand to help boot camp attendees finish their class projects and get them published to Drupal.org.
FREE video learning and mentoring with Build a Module.com videos
That's right, we're also doing a mentored Drupal training! If you're interested in learning more about Drupal, site building, theming, module development, change management, or anything else, come with your laptop or tablet and a pair of headphones. The staff at Droplabs will set you up with a day pass to Build a Module.com and help create a video playlist for you to gently climb the Drupal learning curve at your own pace.

GLADCamp Organizational Meeting January 19th or 20th
So as some of us already are starting to feel in their bones, GLADCamp 2014 is fast approaching, so it has fallen onto me to organize as much of us as can be assembled for an organizational meeting. Stewart and Oliver, I hope I can see you there at the very least.
So right now, I figure it might make sense to coordinate schedules to meet up within the next two weeks. What does, say, next Sunday or Monday look like for everybody, the 19th-20th look like for everybody? Let me know that asap so we can get something dialed in that will work for everybody.

January 2014 SGV Meetup
Last month we had a good meeting with presentations on Workgroup and GLAD a year in review. Because of the ways the dates fall this month the meeting is early the 16 th is the third Thursday. I will be good to get together again and kick off the new year.
We do not have any presentations at this time but I we will discuss these in the comments. Normally we run out of time before we run out of topics so there should not be any worries of a dead meeting.
GLADCamp is just around the corner. This is taking place in the San Gabriel Valley so there should not be any reason us to not be involved. Besides attending we need to look for ways we can volunteer to help make the event amazing!
Come ready to share all your tips.

Greater Los Angeles Drupal Camp (GLADCamp) is a free, 3-day conference for All Things Drupal on March 7th, 8th & 9th, 2014, at the Hilton Pasadena & Convention Center in Pasadena, California.
We're planning a conference that's packed with 3 full days of activities, including sessions, presentations, trainings, topic-based summits, a job fair, a barn raising to benefit a local non-profit, receptions, and more!
Our community members are also planning their own events to coincide with the conference, including client meetings and company retreats.
GLADCamp: Spreading the Word
So in preparation for tomorrow's meeting at Droplabs, I am piecing together list of specific Drupal shops/data centers to target, split largely by location. The first phase is to contact these places by either phone or email, and then to arrange a meeting with them to discuss additional participation. A Powerpoint or other form of presentation will be created that each of us can use for these presentations, wherever we do them.

Are you new to Drupal or the SGV Drupal meetup? Here's a testimonial from a happy attendee:
Read moreThis is a very well organized and informative session. We got a good mix of senior developers and new comers and some in between. It is a pretty good turn out with 11 people considering it is in Pasadena right around rush hours. People are just terrific, very friendly and ready to help others. Feels like I have moved forward by leaps and bounds. Thanks everyone!
Name the Greater Los Angeles Drupal (GLAD) mascot!
We have a new logo for GLAD, our Greater Los Angeles Drupal group!
Update: voting for the name has begun at https://drupal.la/node/34
A couple names have been floating around already and I thought it would be fun to have a naming contest. Once we have a list of name suggestions, we can run a poll and use voting to declare a winner.
This logo is a big step forward for GLAD. We'll be using it for all the print materials for GLADCamp, our upcoming Greater Los Angeles Drupal Camp, as well as on sign-in sheets at our meetups, and everywhere GLAD has an online presence, including Twitter, Google+ and Facebook.
I hope you all enjoy, and let the naming contest begin!

Originally announced as a comprehensive weekend exploration of all facets of the Drupal content management system, the First Annual GLADCamp (Greater Los Angeles Drupal Camp), originally set for April 26th-28th at USC, has been postponed to 2014.
Regardless of the professional conflicts which prevent a free, 100% volunteer-run conference originally envisioned for the Drupal community from occurring at this time, GLADCamp declares confidently that it will announce a brand-new date and venue as soon as both can be secured and confirmed.
