Summer 2010 Planning for a potential meetup in Hawaii

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
You are viewing a wiki page. You are welcome to join the group and then edit it. Be bold!

Feel free to edit. This is simply an initial planning document to a potential DrupalCamp. Another option would be to have a Drupal Day where we each can "log in" web conference style, to work on projects or have a structured environment.

Please join me if you are at all interested in participating -- this is an all-volunteer effort --- all hands on deck!!

Thoughts:

"unconference" setting

user-submitted panels

attendees can vote on panels

Can we keep it small so we can work on actual projects? How many participants do we have capacity for?

Tracks to include?
- Business Development (how to run a business)
- Design & Themes --- custom themes
- Installation Haven -- get people up and running with a basic setup
- Nuts and Bolts
--- CCK
--- Map Integration
- Best Practices
- Social Networking
- Hosted Drupal
- Outlook for Drupal 2010-2012

Focus Areas:

- Small Business
- Education
- Community-based Organizations / nonprofit

Gosh, should this be a web conference? We could feasibly do the whole thing via GoToMeeting.com or WebEx. Keep this in mind. Then we could just have a series of PARTIES or get-togethers island by island, listed via the website. Maybe have viewing stations and small groups on each island.
