ok, I have just noticed galooph has setup the DrupalCampUK group. Don't know if they have one planned or just setup the group for fun, but we should have one.
My criteria:
- Must be on a weekend so all can attend.
- Must be in a good location.
- Must have Wi-Fi access.
So where to we go now.

Would love to meet up with
Would love to meet up with some UK Drupal people but I'm in the North East and I'm aware there are very few Drupal developers in this area. Maybe it would be good to have a #drupal-uk IRC channel.

IRC
Try #drupaluk [updated]
There's two of us in there right now!
Location
The discussions we had in Szeged led to us thinking of planning two, one in London and one in Manchester.
But that's simply based on the location of the people organising them.
It might be good to start by throwing around a few possible dates. Not sure what Robert Castelo had in mind for the London one.
We were originally thinking of March 2009 for a Manchester one, but that'll be a bit close to DrupalCon.
Well being in South Wales
Well being in South Wales there is not much difference between London or Manchester for me, but Cardiff would be better.
We could hold it at Mark Boulton Design in Cardiff, i'm sure Mark won't mind!
I'd like it to be in south
I'd like it to be in south wales too.I'm from Cardiff. But the difference isn't huge if it's manchester or London.
I'm still new to drupal so it sounds like fun.
South
Well, ideally I'd like it to be in Brighton, but London would be easy enough for me. Cardiff would be fine too mind.
London...
... is best for me as I live here. But I can repress my urban-snob tendencies and go somewhere else if necessary.

Here? You mean on groups.drupal.org? What's the economy like here? :-)

Can we set up a poll?
I am in London but am not too fussed where it takes place.
Shall/can we set up a poll here or elsewhere?
Some suggestions for the poll:
Any other suggestions?
Can we set up a poll?
Well, myself and mcjim are in the early stages of planning a Drupalcamp in Manchester. There's a good crowd of people up here and we've got a good network of contacts which we'll be using to help organise things. The Irish contingent have also expressed an interest in a Manchester event.
When we we're talking to Robert Costello over in Szeged, he was thinking of organising a London Drupalcamp. I think one in Manchester and one in London would be great!

poll is a good idea...
...though I predict london will win - unless you exclude it on the basis that if you didn't exclude it, there'd be no point in having the poll. lolz
Poll for DrupalCampUK venue
see http://groups.drupal.org/node/15015
University venue?
A number of clients/contacts I know who have organised similar events have used a university - they match the requirements Tim mentioned at the beginning of this thread:
also they have lecture theatres and venues to cater for audiences from 50 to 500 if necessary - and at a far cheaper rate than most hotels.
I have no idea what a
I have no idea what a 'Drupal camp' is but there is a meetup set for next week in Birmingham. http://groups.drupal.org/node/14929
I'm guessing someone in this thread here hasn't spotted it?
Is a 'camp' an event over several days? Like a conference?
A DrupalCamp can be anything
A DrupalCamp can be anything you want to make it!
We're currently looking at a two-day event, with a mixture of organised talks and workshops (like a conference) and plenty of opportunities for unorganised talks (like a BarCamp).
Some thoughts are developing here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/15537, so feel free to jump in and have your say.
I think it would be really good to encourage lots of people new to Drupal to attend, and not just web developers, either, so any suggestions for how to make that happen would be much appreciated. At the same time, we mustn't forget all us Drupalers who wouldn't mind learning a thing or two, so ideas for talks/workshops for the more experienced crowd are needed, too.
Whats going on now...
People is anything planned for the coming months? First time on the site here today...

DrupalCamp Manchester's being planned
We're currently trying to work out a date for DrupalCamp Manchester and also a venue.
We're thinking either February, before DrupalCon, or in April.
People of the world, let us know what you think!
Any update?
Planning my overseas trips for next year right now.
Would love to come to Drupalcamp UK.

April would be better
I'd love to come to the camp and run a docs sprint. February is totally gone for me so April would be much better.
EDIT: I should add that I'd love to do both Galway and Manchester so if this was scheduled close after Galway (which is April 4-5) then I could probably do both.

April would be better
Yay! We'd love you to come to Manchester!
I've been invited to go and view the event spaces at the BBC offices in Manchester early in the new year. Hopefully, I can confirm the venue soon and finalise the dates. Scheduling Manchester shortly after the Galway event sounds like a good idea!
Would Lullabot be interested in becoming a sponsor?

As a newbie to the whole
As a newbie to the whole drupal groups thing I'd love to attend something like this, manchester would be ideal for me as London is far too south to travel.
Manchester???
So new to Drupal.... looking to do some courses, would be great to have a bash in the North west with some courses for newbies too!
This might be worth looking
This might be worth looking into for DrupalCamp UK.

Did you run the update.php?
Hey,
Did you run the update.php after updating the Ctools (or any other) module?

Check for closing php tags!
Hi
Have a quick look at http://drupal.org/node/14802. One of the answers refers to closing php tags. When we develop modules, themes etc in Drupal, we do not use a closing php tag as this interferes with the mechanics of the drupal core.
There are also some other useful tips in http://drupal.org/node/14802.
