Drupalcamp Ottawa

This wiki page is for organizing the first ever Drupalcamp in Ottawa. Feel free to modify and add information as you like.

Volunteers

We need volunteers to help us make this event happen!

Organizers

We need some people willing to meet at least a few times over the summer/fall to work out some important questions like when and where it's going to happen.
OpenPlus.ca could commit 3-4 people both prior for planning and to volunteer, I also think a few people at uOttawa would want in to assist.

Website

The domain name DrupalCampOttawa.com has been reserved for the use of the camp but it needs someone to actually make it happen, perhaps using the drupalcamp distro that's available.
OpenPlus.ca would be open to building & hosting the site - We did it for the WxT Codefest site also

Participants

On the weekend of the event we need people to (1) welcome people, (2) collect payment and hand out t-shirts, (3) introduce panels, (4) answer questions (5) participate in presentations, panels and hands on sessions.

Venue

University of Ottawa

Dates

Thursday February 21 to Saturday February 23, 2012 [it will likely be two of those three days, precise dates to be determined]

Sponsors

We should probably approach a few sponsors for the event so that we can organize things like t-shirts, food, coffee and maybe venue. The Drupal Association has also been known to kick in money to fly in speakers for camps, so that's another possibility.

CosCoe.org should be able to get a few sponsors for certain, including OpenPlus.ca
