Drupal 7 only?
Is there a Drupal 6 stack?
No soup for you. Drupal 7
No soup for you. Drupal 7 only. No Coke, Pepsi. :P
In all seriousness, we decided to teach all the Beginner track classes in Drupal 7, to put our best foot forward. For what most people need, it is more than ready, and has been so since November. Migrating existing sites with lots of contrib modules, or doing certain massive complex things is still a little challenging with 7, but if you haven't tried it yet, now is a great opportunity.
I just launched a D7 site 2 days ago - http://urbanrethink.com
It's pretty great. (D7, though the site isn't too bad if you ask me)

Uh, so did I
(launch a drupal 7 site, about a month ago). Quite frankly, it is not ready for prime time, IMHO, and I think the majority of folks coming to the camp would like to know about D7 and its greatness, but are more interested in wrangling D6.
So, here's the soup: :P

Beginning Drupal
I'm a beginner, and I have no desire to learn and build in D6 and go through the hassle of migrating to D7 down the road. I was very relieved to see that the beginners' track will focus on D7.
And thank you to those of you who put together the information to get us ready for tomorrow! I'm so excited!

D6 -> D7
Moving a D6 site to D7 is where the problem is. D6 modules are not really ready for D7. So while learning about D7 is nice, what good is it if an existing site with even basic modules can't be upgraded?
How about a rundown on what's really ready for D7, what's different, and what to do to prepare for a D7 upgrade?
Just sayin'
Maybe you'd be interested in
Maybe you'd be interested in leading a discussion about this? We have some free slots at the end of the day...
Core has been out for more than a month and still hasn't had a 7.1 release - that's unheard of in this community, and a testament to how "ready" it was on release day.
Contrib, on the other hand... it really depends on the module. My big ones: Webform, Views, Flag, Profile2, Date and Calendar, Context - were all ready for the site I just built.
Anything not on that list has been moved into core.

Definitely should have a discussion
Happy to lead it, but don't want to dominate. Are there others who have gotten their hands dirty in the garden? :-)

I'm sure there are others. I think just putting it on the schedule would turn some heads and start a good discussion.

Oops - sorry!
Didn't get the message - but it was a really good discussion!
Thanks for a great camp!

I posted something about the
I posted something about the installation for the beginner session on the fldrupalcamp site, but for some reason it didn't take. If we import the database from the cfcs, then the admin password is changed.
Does anyone know the password for the installation?
I managed to change it, but I don't think beginners with be able to. This isn't an issue unless they accidentally log out. Then they won't be able to get back into their site.
Password is password
Password is password
thanks for pointing that out - I'll make sure to update the zip.

Password
I tried password and still getting "unrecognized user name or password." I am using username "admin" & password "password". What did I miss?
I changed the mysql files
Hey Hewie,
If you want to download a new file from the download links in the guide you can, I've greatly modified the Sessions Folder with different types of database dumps and made sure the username and password are admin & password

The user name is also
The user name is also admin_cfcs not just plain admin.
Overall this was an awesome setup
Captain_Intern I think you are ready for a promotion.
Is it Major_Intern? - a step up on Captain
or
Lt_Journeyman? What comes after Intern?

Hmmm
Maybe I could go for Major Intern... I'll have to ask if they can change my D.O name.
