Event type:

Drupalcamp or Regional Summit

NYCDrupalCamp6 event will take place Saturday February 28th, 2009 at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn.

NYC Drupal Camps are free events, but we do need some sponsors in order to make it happen. Please get in touch with Eric to discuss sponsoring the event. As we have done in the past, any funds left over after we cover the costs of the event will be either donated to the Drupal Association or held to cover expenses of the next camp.

Event details
When :: Saturday, February 28th
Where :: Polytechnic University in Brooklyn.

Sign Up / Register (its free)
If you're interested in attending, click the button at the bottom of this page.

In order to register for this event, you have to have a groups.drupal.org account. Don't worry, it is easy to sign-up for one.

Book Raffle
Thanks to Acquia, one of our sponsors, we will have 10 copies of recent books about working with Drupal to give away. Everyone that attends has a chance to leave with one. We'll be holding a raffle during lunch.

WHAT IS DRUPAL CAMP?!?
Modeled in the camp unconference structure, drupalcamp is a no-holds-barred discussion, workshop/code-a-thon involving the Free Software content management system Drupal. At drupalcamp you ask the questions and the experts provide the answers; at drupalcamp you discover your solutions to your most pressing problems. Like previous drupalcamps, there will be a number of break out rooms...

Sessions / Schedule
If you're interested in presenting a at the camp or have problems/questions that need to be solved and you would like to see someone address at a session, visit the sessions page and add your idea.

Help out!
Interested in helping to organize the event? join the mailing list at https://lists.mayfirst.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/drupalcampnyc

Sponsors
In keeping with Drupal Camp tradition we hope to provide bagels/muffins, coffee/juices for breakfast and some oh-so-delicious pizza for Lunch. We always do our best to provide Vegetarian (vegan if requested) options.

Sponsors are needed to help pay for these goodies as DrupalCamp is not organization (thus has no cash). Sponsorship can come in various amounts. If you're an attendee chipin a few bucks, if you're a company consider fully or partially sponsoring Breakfast, Lunch or after-camp drinks.

Right before DrupalCon;

Posted by skyredwang on January 24, 2009 at 7:03pm

Right before DrupalCon; Maybe I could talk about 'Android and iPhone integration with Drupal', if there is enough interest (Vote on the DrupalCon). http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/session/android-and-iphone-integration-drupal

sounds great!

Posted by ericG on January 28, 2009 at 9:56pm

I'd love to see a discussion on mobile platforms as you are suggesting. I hope you'll show up and run a session at the camp.

I actively develop games

Posted by MattKelly on January 29, 2009 at 11:42pm

I actively develop games using Drupal as the CMS. We're working an iPhone game and have 3 Flash games already out. Check out http://www.mattwkelly.com/about for more info (specifically, the top couple projects--Toga/PlayWidgets). I'd love to help you out with this presentation, so send me an email at matthwk@gmail.com

I'm not sure if I'll be going to Drupalcon or not, but I'll be at Drupalcamp

Right Before DrupalCon?

Posted by RobLoach on January 28, 2009 at 9:05pm

February 28th is the weekend right before DrupalCon (two days). Really bad timing...... I probably won't be able to make it if this is the case.

timing

Posted by ericG on January 28, 2009 at 9:49pm

I've heard from some folks that are excited it is right before drupalcon since that means they will be in the country and able to attend.

Also, the overlap between people that attend drupal camp and those that attend drupalcon is not all that large.

Based on the fact that it looks like with no effort or outreach that we have already enough sponsors to pull off the event, I think there is enough interest to make it happen.

please remove yourself from the list

Posted by ericG on February 21, 2009 at 7:21pm

I notice you are still on the signup list. We've hit the limit on registration, if you think you won't make it, please remove your name from the list so someone else can attend.

Thanks.

Timing is a problem for many…?

Posted by forestmars on February 27, 2009 at 7:34pm

Quite a few people have mentioned the timing, right before DrupalCon doesn't work for them.

My personal take is that having DrupalCamp just after DrupalCon (as all the ones in recent memory have been) works out best for a number of reasons. Chief among them, those of us attending DrupalCon can bring back some of the latest techniques & tips learned at DrupalCon with those who were unable to make it.

on timing

Posted by ericG on February 28, 2009 at 12:00am

Forest,

You have a good point -- that doing the camp right after drupalCon would have certain advantages from an ability to share new knowledge perspective. I think that's a good criteria for scheduling that we should take into consideration in the future. (although I do think that we'd probably have as many people too busy after taking the time off for drupalCon as there are too busy in the days leading up to DrupalCon.)

Unfortunately, due to spring break, we could not get access to the space soon after drupalCon. It really came down to a choice between this coming weekend or waiting until much later in the spring. Judging from the full signup list and waiting list, I think it will turn out to be a great event.

See everyone tomorrow morning!

I would love to send some

Posted by techsoldaten (not verified) on January 28, 2009 at 9:34pm

I would love to send some people to this event (and maybe show up myself), but the timing is really bad since it is right before Drupalcon.

see you next time?

Posted by ericG on January 28, 2009 at 9:55pm

It looks like we're also starting the planning on the next Drupal camp that would be held in late august or early september. Hopefully that one will not conflict with other events and we'll see you there?

Time table?

Posted by gamericax on February 12, 2009 at 6:02am

Hola~

Do you guys plan to add the "time" column on the proposed session table? That will be very much appreciated.

BTW, if someone can host a session on best approach to database delta handling (i.e. propagating schema or CMS changes through dev, staging and production or multiple developer environment), that will be awesome~

-jlee

schedule is set the mornging of the event

Posted by ericG on February 12, 2009 at 2:10pm

DrupalCamp runs on what's known as an 'unconference' format. The list is a suggestion, an idea of what sessions might be run.
Feel free to add your idea and we'll see if anyone feels comfortable taking it on.

The first session of the day, after breakfast, is scheduling the rest of the day, so we won't know the times until then.

It may be helpful to clean up the Sessions wiki page

Posted by marketanomaly on February 12, 2009 at 2:48pm

While we are not setting session times until the day of the conference, it may be helpful to clean up the Sessions wiki page a little bit. Maybe the offered sessions table could come first to encourage people to think about presenting. Also, the requested sessions could could be put into a table format for consistency. It's a wiki page, so feel free to improve it.

This is the perennial discussion

BTW, if someone can host a session on best approach to database delta handling (i.e. propagating schema or CMS changes through dev, staging and production or multiple developer environment), that will be awesome~

We have had this discussion at the four previous camps that I've been to. Its never quite satisfying, as none of us really have a great solution to this issue. Though its always interesting to see how different people approach this issue.

That said I'm sure we'll find plenty of people who will be happy to talk about this, because its a frustrating part of Drupal development.

i haven't been to a camp

Posted by arh1 on February 23, 2009 at 3:01am

i haven't been to a camp before -- can anyone comment on the viability/etiquette of only attending part of the day? i signed up a while back, but am having trouble finding childcare for my son for the full day.

if it would not work well or be poor form to miss some of the day, i'll revoke my sign-up soon so that someone else can take it. conversely, if anyone can confirm that i can still participate in a meaningful way and not ruffle feathers if i can't make the full day, i'll hang on to my sign-up.

thanks for any thoughts.

depends on how much of the day and your experience level

Posted by ericG on February 23, 2009 at 3:37am

If you are looking to get in on the beginner sessions, you might have a problem as that will start early and be a long session that could be hard to step into the middle of.

but, if you're looking for the mid-range sessions, I think you should show up.

Last time I thought to ask if people needed child care, but no one really had a need so I forgot to reach out to people this time. My apology about that, I hope we remember to add child care to the list of what we need next time.

thanks, Eric. i'm less

Posted by arh1 on February 23, 2009 at 2:50pm

thanks, Eric. i'm less interested in the beginner sessions so i'm going to hang on to my sign-up and will see you there.

(and fwiw, i wouldn't have expected childcare to be provided by my local DUG! but it would be a nice perk :) )

Can't do it

Posted by amycham on February 23, 2009 at 11:28pm

I had really hoped to make it out...unfortunately there's just too much to be done before DrupalCon. I hate to miss yet another NYC Drupal event, but I've canceled my registration; hope someone else gets good use out of it!

thanks for letting us know

Posted by ericG on February 25, 2009 at 2:51pm

I'm sorry you can't attend, hopefully next time you can.

Also, thanks for being responsible to the community by removing yourself from the list.

While we organize these events with the understanding that more people will sign up than will show up, we do have a limit on how many names we can put on the list we give to NYU-Polytech, so by removing yourself you have allowed us to add someone else to that list and probably increase the ratio of signup to show up.

From what I've seen a higher percentage of those that register late end up showing up, so while to some it might seem unnecessary, removing yourself from the list is an important thing to do if you think you won't make it.

Thank you.

Is there room for a late signup?

Try to borrow a laptop if possible. The WAMP/drupal setup is fairly straight forward and won't require changing too many system settings. Any laptop should do.

Parking

Will there be free parking available at the school for DrupalCampers? Thanks.

mass transit is your best bet

Posted by ericG on February 24, 2009 at 9:42pm

there will be no free parking, there's no parking lot at the campus. It's also a rather busy section of Brooklyn so finding parking on the street might be a problem.

Mass transit is highly recommended.

Where are you coming in from?

Parking for DCamp this Saturday

Posted by winston on February 25, 2009 at 1:56am

Hey,

I'm driving to DrupalCamp this time as I'm driving down to the DC area in the evening after Drupal camp. Anyway, I've found parking a couple of blocks away, but it is pretty hit or miss (read difficult) to park on the street near the POLY building. However, there is a parking garage where the pedestrian exit is just across the street from the DrupalCamp building (look on this page for the map - http://groups.drupal.org/node/18541). It is labeled "Mariot", but the entrance to the garage is around the block on Adams street. You then exit on the street right across from Poly.

Thank you!

Beyond the Basics - Attendance

Posted by yee.dor on February 27, 2009 at 5:34pm

Hello!
There is a small group of Drupalers coming from Parsons New School. We are interested in things beyond the basics and a possible share. We noticed there was an email sent out saying that a majority of the morning was spent setting up drupal and learning the fundamentals. Would it be helpful if we allowed other people to attend the morning and just come later or are sessions happening simultaneously? I have never participated in these things so not really sure of the overall structure. If someone could let me know, please do. Thanks.

Posted by ericG on February 27, 2009 at 5:57pm

There will most likely be a number of concurrent sessions. At past camps there have been a number of intermediate and advanced level sessions running at the same time as the intensive intro to drupal session for beginners.

You should show up at the beginning so you can participate in the scheduling of sessions for the day (which happens during the first session of the day)

Waiting List Closed

Posted by tom_o_t on February 27, 2009 at 6:04pm

Everyone who was on the waiting list (or managed to sign up after Monday) WILL be able to attend - thanks very much to Poly for allowing us flexibility with this, and thanks to those who took themselves off the list to make room for others.

The only people who aren't on the list are those who didn't put their full name in their groups.drupal.org user profile - apologies but Poly requires names.

Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

Definitely concurrent, not just intro!!

Posted by winston on February 27, 2009 at 6:25pm

Intro session is usually popular because many people are coming to Drupal. But more than half of attendees will not attend the intro session and therefore other sessions will be going on as well. The sessions can be one person leading. Or sometimes sessions are a working group or panel. In the "BarCamp" style this is all hashed out in the morning with the schedule posted on post it notes before any sessions start. Pretty cool the way it all works out. If you can lead something that others want to see than definitely propose it. Or make your voice heard on what you would like to see.

See you there...

Lost and Found

Posted by gnat on March 1, 2009 at 12:34am

There were a few things that were left behind in one of the class rooms at the end of camp. They are all decidedly low tech.

If you lost some low tech articles, please get in touch with me, or with Eric, and we will work out getting them back to you.

Good job.

I guess it's too gauche for a lot of geeks to identify themselves during a drupal camp session, so I don't have a terribly clear idea who everyone was who helped organize things for today's session, but kudos to all for a great job.
Well done. Thanks.

i'll second that. thanks to

Great camp as usual, a big thank you to Eric, Nat, Tom and all the other organisers and presenters (hopefully I can be like you guys when I grow up). I look forward to seeing some of you next week at the CON.

Yes, I just want to say thank you to the un-organizers and presenters. :-)

I think an informative time was had by all.

Hi I'd like to know if there are NYC meetups and user's groups...I found one dated 2006 that went to a google groups that no longer exists. I'd love to keep up with the learning. Thanks!

The group is this way ->

http://groups.drupal.org/nyc is the New York Drupal User Group, there is another one at meetup.com but it's not as active as the drupal.org group.

Peter's put the notes up from the intro session at http://groups.drupal.org/node/19610 (also notes from several of the other sessions here too).

Thanks again to everyone who helped organize, sponsor, present, share ideas, and clean up at the end of it all. It was a fantastic event.
