Drupal Camp Chattanooga 2013

Posted by mr_scumbag on January 1, 2013 at 2:29am

I've been talking about it for years.
This year I will actually do it.
Drupal Camp Chattanooga will happen this spring. (Exact date to be decided April or May most likely)
As Drupal Camp Nashville looks like it won't happen in 2013, lets have a Tennessee camp in Chattanooga at about he usual time for Nashville.
www.drupalcampchattanooga.com
As soon as we set a definitive date, I'll create a g.d.o event.

The location will be my new offices (www.codejourneymen.com) on Chattanooga North shore. Plus we could get use of the Chattanooga Library 4th Floor if we need it. I know the fella that runs it. (Hi Nate!)
We are only an hour and a half or so from Atlanta, Nashville and Knoxville. Lots of Drupalers in those cities.

This is a general call out for help.
If you would like to present, please send me an email and let me know. If you are a Chattanooga local and can help in any way, email me. If you want to sponsor, email me.

I currently have an old COD 6 site up, but will upgrade that to COD 7 very soon.
And speaking of COD, it was Ezra G (COD maintainer) whose presentation at Drupal Camp Asheville 2012 made me finally get off my arse and do this. "We launched a distribution with the worst logo ever... a dead fish. So those of you who say you don't have time, all I have to say to you is 'DEAD FISH' ".

More details to come.

Forgot DC Portland is the end of May.
May is really out, either April (if we can pull it together in time) or later June/July time.

I want to help. I can kick in some personal sponsorship and some organizational sponsorship from TN Drupalers. Would also like to present (Project Honeypot and http://drupal.org/project/httpbl). Also some communication support in the Nashville area. Speaking of which, in the absence of a DrupalCamp Nashville, that leaves open the last weekend in April, which has become less than ideal for an event in Nashville due to the Nashville Marathon sucking up all available hotel space. Makes for a tight timeline, but, 'tis possible.

Though, June or July might be nice, too.

I'd love to help too. If you need help building or theming the website, let me know - I can definitely help there immediately. I'd love to see it in that last weekend in April as well if it's doable. Let me know how I can plug in!

Evan,
I'm getting the code for the COD7 distribution from the ATL Camp (Thanks Matthew Connerton) so a Chattanooga Drupal theme for that could be cool. It's Omega based.
I'll ping you as soon as I have anything. Thanks for the help buddy.

Getting a lot of positive community feedback already.

Lee, sounds great. You need a designer for it? I can put out a call to some designers here in Nashville if so.
