Welome to the Mid-Atlantic, USA Drupal group! Our goal is to bring together Drupallers who live and/or work in the areas between DC and NYC, including (but not limited to) Baltimore, Wilmington, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and surrounding communities. Members of this group should be people who would consider coming together in person with other drupallers in this region-- for fun, work, camps, etc.

PhillyDrupal Camp Agenda, Topics & Speakers : Brainstorming
Let's start brainstorming ideas for tracks, sessions, and speakers for Philly DrupalCamp. As a reminder, here's what we came up with last year.
Thoughts on tracks? Last year we did beginner and advanced. We could do design vs. development/programming. Or coding vs. business. I don't expect we'll have enough content/people for three, so I think we should stick with two. Thoughts?

Read morePhilly DrupalCamp Planning
Hi all,
It's been a busy spring, but we're closing in on some plans for a Philly DrupalCamp.
We're looking at two possible locations at Penn, and tentatively looking at July 24 or 31 -- both Fridays.
First of all, does that work for everyone? Sound like a reasonable venue and timeframe? There's a lot of interest around Drupal at Penn, so their participation as a venue will bring lots of folks into the mix, as well as keeping overall costs down.

Are you ready for a MADCamp?
In the months since we successfully pulled off the first Philly Area DrupalCamp (PADCamp) we have had some discussions (most recently at DrupalCon) about whether we should focus on throwing another PADCamp, or whether we should try to work with our neighbors to the North and South of Philly to create a Mid-Atlantic DrupalCamp (MADCamp). I don't have the specific numbers, but at the PADCamp there were tons of people from New York City, Washington DC, Harrisburg, and lots of places in between, so to some degree it was already a MADCamp. What I'd like to try to see for this Camp is a little more regional cooperation and outreach, so I'm curious to know whether anyone from the DC, Maryland, Central PA, NJ, or NYC groups would be interested in helping to make this a reality.
I am proposing that we have the first MADCamp in Philly, due to it's central location on the East Coast and the fact that the Philly group is trying to move the idea forward. However, I'm personally open to hearing ideas for hosting it in other cities, and one of the bigger goals I would have for the Camp is to get more regional cooperation and coordination amongst the groups. I attend NYC DrupalCamps and DC BarCamps (don't think there's been a DC DrupalCamp- has there?), and I've seen many of the same faces at many of these events.
So, if we're going to move forward with this idea, here are some things that need to be decided:

see: http://groups.drupal.org/node/19318
The first New Jersey Drupal meet-up, to be held on the lovely campus of Princeton University. Come discuss Drupal, the DC Drupalcon, etc. We can do a run though at the end of my Drupalcon presentation "Module Development Kickstart" if people are interested in getting started coding.
The meet-up is being co-sponsored by the "Princeton Unix Users' Group" (an undergraduate group).
We will meet in the Rockefeller residential college classroom (in Madison hall). See below for map and more details.

The current manager is no longer active - if you would like to take over, please post a comment here. Possibly this group's focus should be narrowed to NJ or Delaware since there is a separate Philadelphia-area group.

Thanks and Happy New Year

Read moreQuestion about appropriateness of Drupal Camp for Non-techies
Hi all. This is going to be my first Drupal Camp experience. Yesterday I was at one of my nonprofit clients where there are a number of staff people and Americorp Vistas that I have set up with Drupal sites for projects and programs. I told them about Drupal camp and they were enthusiastic about attending. However, on looking at the agenda, I'm second guessing my advice. I want to make sure it's not going to be over their heads.
So, my question:

Read moreWho's ready for DrupalCamp Philly?
Last week, about a week after I returned from DrupalCon Szeged, I attended DrupalCamp NYC, and as with most un-conferences, I left wondering "when can I get to one of those again?" So, I bought myself a plane ticket to San Francisco to hit up BADCamp (and chill with some Drupal friends whom I don't get to see nearly enough). And while I love an excuse to travel both near and far, it got me thinking, isn't it about time to hold a DrupalCamp Philly? Or, maybe we should reach beyond our borders and do a MADCamp (Mid-Atlantic Drupal Camp)?
