I've never been to a DrupalCamp, and can't wait for this one. Unfortunately, I don't have any free time in the immediate future, but if my schedule opens up later on, who should I talk to about volunteering to help out?
Glad to you hear you are interested in volunteering and I will keep you on this list. We will be issuing a call for volunteers in May so be on the lookout for updates.
An update on progress with CapitalCamp (http://www.capitalcamp.org/). We are looking forward to seeing all the great ideas you have for panel submissions and pre-training. Over the course of CapitalCamp we will be offering three learning tracks, which will help answer the following questions:
Government/Business: What does it take to bring Drupal into an organization, agency, or business? How do you think strategically? Where are the political land mines? How do you manage a project built on an open source platform? Can you answer these questions and others like them? We want to hear from you.
Beginner: Can you remember what it was like when you learned how to use Drupal? Do you remember those ah-ha moments? Would you be interested in helping others over some of the obstacles you hurdled? Tell us how you can help others engage Drupal. We are interested in supporting the entry of several roles: Planning, Design, Building, Developing, and Theming. Also, don't forget about the environment in which Drupal runs. Come help others avoid performance and security pitfalls that can take beginners by surprise.
Intermediate/Advanced: Do you know how to make a Drupal site rock without lifting a coding finger? Come tell us. Are you one of those coders who are building modules for the rest of us to use? Come help others do the same. Are you responsible for ensuring performance and security on large, complex sites? Share your lessons learned.
So check us out at CapitalCamp.org and be sure to follow us on Twitter at @CapitalCampDC for the latest updates. We look forward to seeing you in July!
If you want to submit a session topic while it is fresh on your mind, you can use my GDO contact form. I am tracking the submissions for the committee.
Excited that we're getting close to CapitalCamp. Is there any more schedule information? What time will things get started and wrap up? All I can find online right now are the dates.
The sessions, times, and days will be posted very soon. We are just confirming that session submitters are still available. Hang tight. Thanks for your patience. There are so many fantastic sessions planned. Thanks to some very generous sponsors we were able to rent more space that we originally planned thus allowing more sessions. It will be well worth the wait.
I have to say, this is the best call for submissions I've seen for a Drupal related event. I think the framing of the questions is perfect for this crowd, and it definitely got me thinking about a couple of potential sessions.
Quick update as planning progresses. We are almost 1 month out, which is unbelievable! We had so many quality session submissions and we are really looking forward to getting the final schedule out later this week or early next week.
Some of you may have noticed that the venue recently changed and CapitalCamp will now be held at GWU in the Marvin Center. We are still not charging for attendance, but we are doing a second call for sponsors because of the increased expense. Phase2 is going to help out as a Platinum sponsor and ZivTech is jumping up to the Gold sponsor level. Let me know if you are interested in sponsoring!
I also want to give a quick shout out to all of our AWESOME sponsors so far: Balance Interactive, Acquia, MediaCurrent, Treehouse Agency, Blackstone Technology Group, Forum One, BlenCorp, Chapter Three, ImageX, Achieve Internet, and BlackMesh.
And finally, be sure to check out the pre-camp training options. We have some amazing courses being offered from ChapterThree, OS Training, IDCM Innovations, Drupal Anywhere, Volacci, Drupal Scout and Phase2. Check out all of the offerings at http://capitalcamp.org/training
As always, if you have any questions about the camp, feel free to shoot me an email at bensley@phase2technology.com.
CapitalCamp starts tomorrow! Registration open at 8:00am on the 3rd Floor of the Marvin Center (800 21st St, NW, Washington, DC) and Tom Cochran from the White House and Jason Hoekstra from the Department of Education will begin their keynotes at 9:00am. We have 28 sessions lined up for Friday, so be sure to check out the action!
Jeff Robbins from Lullabot is keynoting on Saturday morning, so be sure to check out his Whole Lotta Drupal showcase. After that, we have another full day of sessions and a dedicated room for BoFs. The full schedule is up at http://capitalcamp.org/schedule
We are sold out, but be sure to follow us on Twitter at @CapitalCampDC because we will be updating you on last minute opportunities to check out sessions on Friday and Saturday.
