Thought I would post this over here as well, I didn't see it come through this group
Western Mass Drupal Camp will return to the Integrated Science Building (ISB) at UMass Amherst on January, 21st 2012 (with Jan 28 reserved in case of snow). Anyone interested in learning more about Drupal should plan to attend. Registration and attendance is free to the public. There will be presentations and sessions throughout the day appropriate for people at every level of expertise, from beginners to experts. Mark your calendar!
Interested participants can register at http://drupalcampma.com/ to announce their intention to attend, to propose sessions they could offer, and/or to request sessions that they would like to attend. We are also seeking sponsorships for bringing an outstanding keynote speaker and to provide refreshments and other amenities.
Details are still emerging about the schedule of events. We hope to offer a keynote presentation in the ISB auditorium (ISB135). A welcome-center and exhibition is planned for the atrium. We hope to offer tracks of presentations for beginners, themers and site designers, developers and site-builders, and goal-oriented Drupal users. Two innovative environments will be a "Showcase Bazaar" where people can demonstrate tricks and innovations and a "Code-Sprint Bazaar" where developers can show work-in-progress and encourage participants to get involved. A "Genius Bar" will also be available for people with problems and questions to get expert assistance.
