Kolkata (Calcutta)

Hi Friends,

As you all know "Drupal Camp Delhi, 12" is announced for 8-9 December. (http://drupalcampdelhi.in/) at JNU, Delhi. Previous years DCD had hosted Dries Buyateart (creator of Drupal and the CTO of Acquia) and Ronald C. Pruett (Former CMO @ Acquia) for the first time in India and was a super success. see pictures @ http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.197586536991355.48921.109565432...

Apart from all the learning, fun and networking in the DCD as last year, one of the key agenda for this year event would be to brainstorm and bring to shape an organisational structure to the Indian Drupal Community and form something like "Drupal Assocation of India" which would subsequently chase the Indian Community Dream of having a "Drupalcon India" in the next 1-2 years.

Highly experienced Drupal developers and trainers are traveling from various cities in India for this year's event to deliver sessions. Also, trainings are being conducted to help developers from other technologies and other CMSs to help them to learn and cross-over to Drupal. Case Studies of live websites would be presented, Birds of Feather (BoF) sessions would be organized as well.

For the Jaipur Drupal Users Group (JaiDUG) this is a great opportunity to 1) participate in the Delhi Camp b) use this opportunity to lay the foundations & bring life into the Jaipur Drupal Community. ( We are almost an extention of Delhi Drupal Community due to vicinity and culture reasons in my opinion )

I propose to start local meetups in Jaipur with the first of it being on this saturday - 10 Nov ' 12

Please register for the meetup @ http://groups.drupal.org/node/266243 to let us know how many of are coming and thus to change the venue or agenda, if required.

We had a awesome meetup at CCD Sector-V salt lake this evening. Eleven members of this group turned out and discussion was awesome. Takeaways from the meetup in brief are :

• Participants are of mixed kind professionals, Entrepreneur, Project Managers, Developers, Themers and newbies as well
• Talked about various ways to acquire more knowledge about drupal mainly targetted towards newbies, mentioned about drupal.org, groups.drupal.org, irc, stack-exchange, http://drupalcamp24x7.org/ video tutorials etc.

We have a facebook group too for kolkata drupalers at http://www.facebook.com/groups/229217230529226/
