At the monthly meeting we had a quick discussion of what went right and wrong at DrupalCampPDX 2008. Grant suggested putting up a wiki so that people could provide suggestions and feedback. Well here's the wiki so have at it.
Things we could have done better
- We needed to be much more careful with our dates. Not so close to Seattle BarCamp and not on the same day as Vancouver's. We are a community and should be considerate of our region. Also, we lost attendees and program participants.
- You could add the next point.
Next time should be bigger and better.
- More lead time - don't start planning it two months before it starts. This is better for volunteers, but also gives attendees and program participants more time to plan to be there.
- More advanced program items, actually trying to put speakers on panels mosts wants to hear about.
- You could add the next point.
Program Items I'd Like to See Next Time
- Workshop on how to create a custom module. Heck this could even be it's own track were we spend the day building a module and then post the source.
- You could add the next point.
Other Thoughts and Ideas.
- Themed DrupalCamps, eg Drupal101Camp, DrupalNonProfitCamp, DrupalModuleBuilderCamp.
- You could add the next point.
