Berkeley

For today's BDUG (Berkeley Drupal User Group) meetup we had an open discussion about project management methodologies and tools, and layed out a basic plan for what a full featured project management system might look like in Drupal. I know many Drupal development shops each have their own tools for this, many developed internally on Drupal for specific needs.

This document is an initial rough outline, so feel free to suggest changes or other ideas for it.

Here is the wiki page:

And the original google doc:

We are 21 hours away from hundreds of people descending on UC Berkeley to get there Drupal on. Here are a couple of ways to connect to your fellow campers (always assuming the wireless holds out :). If you think of others, shout them out.

• The best one is probably right here at http://groups.drupal.org/bay-area
• IRC : #drupal-bayarea over at irc://irc.freenode.net/drupal-bayarea
• Twitter: I will be twittering away over at http://twitter.com/tstarbow. If you're going to tweet about BADCamp, put your account name in a comment.
• Facebook: I am a complete Facebook noob, but what the heck, I created a BADCamp group. This link might take you there http://www.facebook.com/p.php?i=667832827&k=X2M64XP2326M51B1YD6YY3

What else?

I was planning on dropping in on BadCamp next weekend, and just noticed the event registration is closed. Not only that, the waiting list is closed (wtf is that about). This makes me sad, because it means there are a lot of people who could be learning something about Drupal who are going to be hanging out in San Francisco all weekend with nothing to do.

Please submit your BADCamp session proposals by Thursday, Sept 25th (http://www.badcamp.net/node/add/session). We want to have enough time for attendees to vote their preferences, and then let the presenters know their time slots by the end of next week.

We will have a Birds of a Feather room available for sessions that don't get slotted in the official schedule.

Folks,

After talking with Tao at the last meeting I'm going to go ahead and start pulling together all the people who are interested in helping with our Fall BADCamp. First thing I'm going to do is make a round and talk to all those who helped with the last one and those who have already expressed an interest in helping out this time around. After that I'll likely schedule an organizational meeting so we can all get in the same room to work out details. Please stay posted here for more info as it develops. Please feel free to be in touch if you have any questions, either on- or off-line.

Regards,

Dan
