Stanford University Open Source Lab is pleased announce the 3rd annual Stanford DrupalCamp, Friday May 4th and Saturday May 5th.
This year we have some amazing sessions already locked in from some of the top Drupal teams in the country, such as Chapter Three, Four Kitchens, and Trellon. But this is of course a community event, and we want to hear from everyone!
Please go to http://drupalcamp.stanford.edu and Register, then propose a session. We will be hosting this event, as in previous years, in the Stanford Law School (so you can sit where Sandra Day O'Connor raised her hand to ask questions!).
In addition to gorgeous sunny weather 300 days a year, Stanford has the largest collection of Rodin sculptures outside France, and the world's largest X-ray laser, which we will use to cook lunch on Saturday.
REGISTER AND PROPOSE A SESSION TODAY!!
Thank you to our sponsors for supporting Drupal in higher education.

Great Topic!
Hi Kristen, There is much need of multilingual sites here at Stanford, but somehow I don't think we have delved into that very deeply (in Drupal) in the past. I'll make sure our languages people know about your session. Thanks, for the not about your preferred day, we are figuring schedule out today, and I'll do my best to make sure yours is Saturday.
:)
Thanks for scheduling on Saturday!
See you soon...

Open conference?
Is this conference open to those outside the Stanford community?

Yes, absolutely!
All are welcome. There is a definite education focus on Friday, but it's much more general on Saturday.
Bummer...
I wish there was more time to plan to attend this. Unfortunately with such short notice I can't make this. Best of luck with this camp. Will any of it be recorded for those poor saps not able to attend? Thanks.
Short notice
The short notice was unfortunate. It happened last year too but I think we had 3 weeks notice rather than the 1 week notice this year.
Although the sessions weren't recorded, they encouraged the speakers to attach their slides so check out the website. I attached mine! :)

Mapping and geospatial with Drupal
I wasn't able to attend but wanted to see if anyone took notes in the Mapping and geospatial with Drupal
Session. I am building out WineMaps and am looking to take it to the next level in mapping and need some help in building it out. If anyone is interested in joining my startup, let me know. I can use all the help that I can get. :-)
Sure did! Here ya

helping hand
I've got some experience with mapping in Drupal and a good amount of experience drinking wine so I might be able to help out.
Recently I gave a talk at https://www.sandcamp.org/ on mapping in Drupal and how I recently went about building this site http://goo.gl/MMHSN using TileMill & Drupal.
Mapping engine?
The LRA Crisis Tracker is very cool. What is the back end mapping engine?
TileMill / TileStream / Modestmaps
Its using a couple Mapbox products (from the people at Dev Seed http://developmentseed.org ).
I designed the map in TileMill (http://mapbox.com/tilemill/) , then exported the tiles to Mapbox's hosted TileStream service (http://mapbox.com/plans/ ).
After that I'm using Modestmaps / http://modestmaps.com to render the map in flash. The data that is plotted on top of the map is originally entered into salesforce and then using their API we pull in those events and create nodes in Drupal. Then we sanitize and output the data into a JSON file that the Modestmaps API then overlays on the tiles we created in TileMill.
Weeee
Neat! However, why use salesforce when you could have created a SPARQL/RDF end point and pulled in the same data plus had something more flexible to build on later? I mean, is the data in salesforce open to all? I never really use it, yo :/
All of the data was already
All of the data was already in salesforce and the client was already heavily relying on Salesforce for other projects. The raw data directly from Salesforce isn't publicly available. Its tied to the account, which is locked down. We've made the raw data available through the new site though.
High-five! How long did the
High-five! How long did the project take? Their data will be quite useful. I'm working on digitizing the world's local knowledge with my latest project:
http://townsource.org/preview.html
As this data grows (in a structured data framework), it will power the Semantic web. This will create a true data fabric over web, allowing intelligence at the interface (web 4.0) projects, like Siri, to pin point exactly what consumers are looking for and make relevant recommendations.
