Hi all,
It's been a busy spring, but we're closing in on some plans for a Philly DrupalCamp.
We're looking at two possible locations at Penn, and tentatively looking at July 24 or 31 -- both Fridays.
First of all, does that work for everyone? Sound like a reasonable venue and timeframe? There's a lot of interest around Drupal at Penn, so their participation as a venue will bring lots of folks into the mix, as well as keeping overall costs down.
Secondly, it would be great to get together, like we did last fall, to start brainstorming around agenda, speakers, outreach, and remaining logistics. We were thinking to meet up at the Cosi near Penn at 36th and Walnut - they have some decent space upstairs. And next week, tuesday 6/9 or thursday 6/11 are possibilities.
If you're interested in participating in the planning, please comment here and indicate if you could make 6/9, 6/11, both, or neither. Was thinking 6:30 or so.
If you're interested in participating but can't attend that meeting, please don't worry -- we intend to do as much online as possible, but a face-to-face meeting helps to get the ball rolling.
Other thoughts or comments? Please share!

11th or 9th good for me
Don't know how much help I can be, but I'd like to extend my services to help in any way, either date works for meeting. I'm out of town on the 24th so I'd vote for the 31st as well.
I should be able to make it
I should be able to make it to the planning meeting on Tuesday the 9th. As of now, either the 24th or the 31st work for me, however we're still making vacation plans so that could change.
I can't make the meetings
on the 9th or 11th, I'll be out of town. The venue is great.
I prefer 31st for the camp. I'll be out of town on the 24th.

sounds good
I'm not 100% sure about those dates (much of Zivtech may be out of town at a code sprint on the 11th), but if I'm around, I'm down.
Both of those dates sound great.

I won't be able to make
I won't be able to make either of the planning meetings but I'll participate online as much as I can (not sure how I can help but willing to find out). Excited about attending DrupalCamp. Either Friday works great for me since I tend to be free on Fridays, and the venue is perfect, easily accessible.
Would this be an all-day event? Never attended a Drupalcamp before.

Which day?
Is the planning meeting scheduled for the 9th or the 11th of June?
Late addition
Revised due to mootness of point - I can make it the 16th (or still the 11th).
Let's meet next week - Tuesday the 16th
I was really expecting to have solid information on date/location/costs, which would enable the next round of discussion on outreach, sponsorship, and logistics -- but -- we hit a snag with location again, and I don't have those figures with sufficient confidence yet.
How does Tuesday the 16th work for people?
Meanwhile I'm going to kick up a thread on tracks, topics, and speakers to keep that discussion moving.
We're going to the NJ meetup
We're going to the NJ meetup on the 16th. Does the 18th work?
in for the 16th
Hi,
I can make it for the 16th.
See you then.
Scratch 16th, Try 17th?
Jody reminded me there's a NJ Drupal Meetup on the 16th. There's a PhillyCHI meeting on the 18th I was hoping to attend.
Can we try Wednesday the 17th?

I'm on my way back from the
I'm on my way back from the Design for Drupal conference in Boston. Wednesday works well for me, and I'll share some ideas I got for sessions and other things from this conference.
I'm in favor of July 24, by the way, though the 31st would be OK too.
Weds 17th still on - RSVP here please
I'd really like to get moving on the plans -- please drop a comment here if you're interested and can make it on Wednesday the 17th. Still planning to meet upstairs at Cosi on 36th and Walnut/Sansom.
I can make it Wednesday
I can make it Wednesday night. See you there!

Sounds good
See you all there!
I'll be there
I can make it on Wednesday, this 17th. I can stay til about 7:00PM then may have to run, looks like. See you there!
Will try, might be late
I'll certainly try to get there, but 6:30 is a little unlikely for me as I'm now working in Horsham. But I'd like to help in general even if I don't end up making it. Cheers.
See you tomorrow, I'll be
See you tomorrow, I'll be there
