We'll be launching the Drupal Design Camp LA site this week and I'm inviting all of you to my place for a final sprint. Top Notch Themes is done with the theme for the site and all we need in order to finish testing is for us to have some content up on the site.
Can anyone think of other things they want on the site, like a #ddcla feed or member discussion forums? This sprint is the last chance for brainstorming and implementing new functionality.
I've also posted a few placeholder pages on the dev site that we can fill in during the sprint:
- About DDCLA (what to expect at the conference)
- Where to stay (hotels near the venue that have shuttles from LAX)
- Where to eat (restaurants and cafes near the venue)
- Our Sponsors (sponsor pages with logos)
Meanwhile, it turns out that the http://designfordrupal.com domain was once used for sending spam and I'm moving everything over to http://www.ddcla.org instead. The Git repo will stay in the same place, though, and I'll make sure *.designfordrupal.com redirects to the right place, so this will be a seamless switch.
Thanks to kathyh for reporting and troubleshooting this!
Location
We're meeting between 10am-4pm at 4402 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90019, which is right on the corner of Pico Blvd. at Windsor Blvd. The nearest major intersection is Pico Blvd. and La Brea Blvd.
Here's a photo from Google Street View that shows the front door. Windsor Blvd. has free on-street parking and Pico Blvd. has metered parking. Out of respect for our neighbors, please do not park on Victoria Park Dr.
This location is on the edge of Wilshire in Los Angeles, but it's also called Mid City and is right next to Victoria Park. Sheesh. If you have trouble finding the place, here's a photo from Google Street View. You can also call LA Drupal's hotline at 855-LADRUPAL (855-523-7872).
Lunch
Lunch will be potluck-style, so please bring enough food and drinks for yourself + one. We have a grill, a fantastic kitchen and a huge dining room table. BYOB if you'd like. Please post a comment below to let others know what you're bringing.

We'll have an assortment of caffeinated elixirs here for you. I'm partial to the yerba maté, myself. I usually make it with a little cinnamon, cocoa and white pepper.
As with everything LA Drupal, just come if and when you can. We'll be lucky to have you.

A lot of what we're going to need is writing, or contributions to it. If you know the area around the venue at all, that's certainly helpful.

I probably won't make it out, though I'd really like to. Just been a busy week and my next two weekends are going to be packed, so going to reel it in a bit this weekend and get some R&R.

I can't make it, because I'm participating in a car wash at my church. It's very close to Christefano's house, and it's a fundraising event for a youth mission trip to Guatemala this summer, so while you're participating in the sprint, if you want your car washed, come out to:
LA Brea Community Church
1069 S La Brea Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90019
Suggested donation is $5, but we'll wash your car for free if you don't have money ;). We'll also be holding a bake sale and have fresh lemonade too. We'll be washing between 9am-4pm.
That sounds like fun, Paul!

Just yesterday, someone I share the Pico Blvd. co-working space with parked her Saab next to mine and I was shocked how dusty mine was compard to hers. I'll definitely try to come by the church before the sprint.
