hey, I'm going to be in Costa Rica on vacation during this time, I would love to come to the camp!

I could give a beginner's talk on module development, is there interest in an English-language session?

Of course!

That would be awesome. Right

That would be awesome. Right now it is difficult to say how many people are going to be able to speak English. But I'm pretty sure that there'll be a lot of interested people.

i would like to come, but i

Hello folks

Even many people couldn't talk or understand English, reject these conferences will be a bad idea, people could attend because these conferences, will be so technical.

I guess will be a good idea record these conferences and load with subs in this way we could check again and understand the details we don't understand.

Best regards

We are planning to film all

xamanu's picture

We are planning to film all sessions. Since it is a community conference I hope that there will be people volunteer and doing some subtitling (Spanish to English and English to Spanish, for all sessions done in English).

I really think it is a great idea to do sessions in English and I totally agree with Eduardo that probably everybody will at least now some English. As well I think subtitling sessions in both languages to another one will help to get all people together.
It looks like that there are people interested from all over (Central America, Brazil, Trinidad, Peru, Germany, Spain, USA) so we really like to welcome everybody and hope that all can come to enrich the event.

If we can help you providing information and bureaucratic support (eg with the visa) please don't hesitate to contact us!

I can probably come to give

xamount's picture

I can probably come to give a presentation on " A beginners guide to taking a template and turning it into a Drupal site" but I don't think I can finance this trip myself (especially as I just went to Drupalcon in DC). are their any scholarships being given out?

Sponsorships

xamanu's picture

We are really happy to announce that Growing Venture Solutions is going to sponsor a couple of scholarships to DrupalCamp Centroamerica.

If you would like to attend DrupalCamp Centroamerica but you can't afford to travel, now you can apply to a scholarship (http://www.drupal-centroamerica.org/solicitar/beca).

@-enzo-
Would be good to have you participating! Your session proposal is great.
The event is going to happen on the 18th of April and everything is set, the Universidad Centroamericana in Nicaragua is going to host us.

@xamount@drupal.org
Unfortunately we don't have sponsorships right now. We were thinking about this possibility but we couldn't get sponsors for this, yet. We are still in contact with some people and we hope that we can get money together to offer at least a couple of sponsorships for "Drupaleros" from Central America.
I'll let you all know if there are any news.

Hello Xamanu When I said we

Only local images are allowed.On sunday, the day after DrupalCamp, we are going to offer a excursion to the Mombacho volcano and the colonial city Granada.
This is going to be a great opportunity to get to know some of the most impressive places in Nicaragua and to chat about Drupal in a nice environment.

Docs

add1sun's picture

I would love to come down and do a doc sprint/session! Hopefully by then I'll have a better idea about some of the i18n stuff we'd like to do and maybe we can have a translation party as well as just straight doc work. Unfortunately my Spanish is pretty useless at this point so I'd definitely have to present in English. I'm also totally interested in the Sunday trip. Woot Central America!

Soy de Costa Rica, y aunque lo veo difícil, haré lo posible por asistir. Llevo varios años trabajando con Drupal, y he desarrollado una buena cantidad de sitios que lo utilizan, por lo que me parece que sería una experiencia interesante.

Saludos, y la mejor de las suertes!
