BAD Event Diversification (Ladder / Enterprise / Marketing) ("BEDLEM")

Yes, I am going to purposely make a silly acronym for everything :D

As with Drupal itself, there is never one answer for what type of events we need for Drupal. Then there's timing - some people can't make Mondays, some can't make evenings, etc. I'm a great believer in what one of the Drupal London guys said in Munich about having more, smaller events. That doesn't mean we shouldn't have the big ones too, but we can achieve more being small pieces loosely joined.

What would be good is if people could post their requests and ideas up as to what they're looking for and we could go from there.

I'd also like to start spreading the load a bit more - BAD Ass is not just about me and what I want, and as I hear more voices talking about their needs I realise our fab little group is ready / over ready for diversification of both events and roles and responsibilities.

I've asked theskiff if we can permanently base BAD Ass at theskiff - I'm going to be retaking up a desk there and hopefully other Drupal people will come and join me there too, either full or part-time (plenty of info on http://theskiff.org).

I think having a permanent base IRL for BAD Ass will help it to grow, give a little more confidence in the group itself, and also help maintain and grow theskiff without which we wouldn't have got this far in the first place I'm sure.

Ending rant now, please continue.... :D
