UPDATE: Now our space-time continuum has been corrected to allow visits to both DrupalCon and Har2009 this is the time to get yourself a ticket, double check that camping gear in the attic and let me know if you'll be able to come!
August 13-16 2009 Hacking at Random, the next iteration in a 20 year long tradition of open air hacking events will be held in Vierhouten, the Netherlands. These events are (self)organized every 4 years (2 years after every ccc-camp) and are every geeks dream in cool presentations, workshops and technology phun in every way imaginable. I will be there for sure and I post this to find out if there are more Drupal people interested in coming to this event and possibly help to organize a Community Village.
Depending on the number of volunteers and contributers I can imagine anything from just a bunch of small tents gathered around a Drupal Flag drinking beers in the sun to getting some bigger event tents to hold getting started sessions, (security) code sprints or a CMS hacking face off.
I haven't been too active in the Drupal Community before and I'm not an experienced event organizer but I am going to be on-site in the week before the event to help build up things and would like to see what I can do to "give back" something to the Drupal Community.
Please respond to this posting if you're interested in attending and/or helping out setting up things.
Cheers,
Paul Krischer

+1 for a "Drupal-village" on HAR
Tent + Drupal! I like this.
So: I will surely join a Drupal village.
It is a attractive idea, since I like the mix of information system's 'builder + user' orientation of the Drupal-community.
I come across fanatic developers and users.
I have been earning my money running around between IT-system developer-offices and user-offices (plus negotiating and discussing with their managers on IT-budgets to have added value for organisations).
On Drupal events I notice both users and developers are in the same room!
Not devided of each other "institutions" where "problems" are returned into "change requests", which are returned in "solutions".
That is what I like on Drupal events.
A bunch of this different Drupal-community members together in one "HAR-village".
And relaxing, as well as very stimulating to come to better insights and even learn something new.
I will be glad to help:
When I camp I start the day with cofee and good breakfast. I like to prepare good and simple food. Good simple drinks in between. So Paul when you like to see me in this area, I am in!
And I am open to any other request.
In order to have a community of 10 people or more, my suggestion:
e v e r y b o d y w h o l i k e s "Tent+Drupal": JOIN!
So sorry
After checking agenda. And agenda of my family. I have made the decision not to join HAR... sorry for any inconveniences, Roel.

Looks like a cool idea :) If
Looks like a cool idea :) If my vacation and my work leave me some time, I'll be there!
according to our latest plan
according to our latest plan drupalcon 2009 will be Aug 12-16. i hope for you that the drupalcon goes to paris :)
We'll see...
I'm a bit ambivalent about this... For now all we can do is wait. I didn't see any date for the Paris proposal yet and the schedule of both events is far from clear. Maybe i'll find a way to combine both. (DrupalCon in the day, HumpahBar at night ;-).
putting it in my agenda
August is far far away, but it seems very interesting, putting it in my agenda...
