Drupalcamp NH 2013 Meeting

I can join in any time.

Me too, any time, sorry for the repeats.

Does this mean that you're signing up for three times the work? :-)

Thursdays are already packed for me, but otherwise I'm open.

What do people reccomend? I've only used Skype once and have not used google hangout.

I'm available most of the time, and will help where I can. Will step up more when I can get some things settled.

Thanks for organizing a call for tomorrow. Google+ has an option to add phone participants to hangouts. It's a phone-out options, so folks who aren't at their computers will need to give the organizer a phone number to call.

Alternatively, I can easily set up an voice conference through my work number... just let me know.

I would like to attend as well.
If peezy could do up a voice conf thru his work number that might be better than Skype or a Google Hangout.

Ok it looks like a conf call would be the best way to go, JP does your work conf set have a limit on participants? There are free conf calling sites I can sign up for if needed.

OK Lets use the conference number that JP posted and ignore the one I posted in the event signup.

for a land-line to free up. Sorry about the echo problems earlier - I think it has to do with the cell-phone over WiFi service.

Just so everyone is aware the Camp Committee decided on having a traditional camp with multiple sessions. We would like to have a couple of tracks focused on D8 with the possibility of 1 set of sessions focused on Drupal Ladder for D8. We also discussed having a 2 day camp with the second day being a code sprint which we hope to do. We are looking for venues for both the Camp & Code Sprint on the Seacoast with the time frame being mid September to early October. We don't want to get too late into the year and have to worry about snow again. The OftoberFest did get the most votes from the Survey but reality of pulling something like this off would be very hard with the weather being the biggest concern. I do think that some of the ideas that came out of the Summit regarding the OftoberFest could be used for the day of the code sprint.

Feed back from Manchester meeting. Jake will double check on the balance we have in the bank to run the camp. He is also willing to give over the site he used for the last camp but said it does need work. I know we will need a theme for sure. I did check Acquia site they do have the COD in D7 now I'm going to download it and check it out. Jake also has other files pertaining to the camp that he will hand over and also suggested using the same printer since the pricing was good. Michellle offered to share the letters she sent out to solicite donations for the last camp. She said she got quick responses so this should help save a little time for someone.

Our next meeting is 3/27 at 1:00 PM via Conference call.

I won't be able to make the 3/27 call at 1pm, but I am definitely willing to share everything about how we put our camp together. I'll join the call if my schedule changes, but otherwise get in touch if there is any interest in sharing and planning sooner.

One of the things that stopped us from using COD on D7 was the session schedule grid wasn't ready yet. I'd be interested to hear the progress on that.

I ran through the COD distro. It definitely still needs work. left-click has plans to put development time into COD for D7 as an internal project hopefully for use intime for this NH camp and camps to follow. I should have more updates on that in a few weeks, I'll keep you posted.

Can we get a look at the 2012 camp website? Is it accessible online?

Damien & I now have a copy of the NH Camp 2011 site that Jake built. Also Damien, JP & I have been added to the NH Group site to make changes. This will allow us to update the NHCamp page.
Here is some other information that Jake said in an email that may help with venue and catering.

"I'd highly recommend going with an alternative food source... the convenience just never seemed to be worth the cost... It think SNHU wanted 10$ per person, and a CONFIRMED # like one month before the event, which is highly difficult for a DrupalCamp.... I think SNHU quoted around 2500$ for catering, as I was estimating over 250, and we actually had I think 350+ signups on site, and the only downside was the impending storm that brought our number that actually showed down to around 150-175... The food we got from our local pizza shop was only around 600 total, and I think that included the tip..."

I ran into Chef Rolf (Rolf Strub) of RolfsKitchen.com (chefrolf@rolfskitchen.com) 603.502.9688 - he's prepared some unbelievably scrumptious food for the farm, and he might make a great caterer for the Camp. I suspect he also has some ideas on cheap venues for the conference.

I told him I'd be putting someone from the Drupal Camp in touch with him.

Mud season is nearly over, and work on the farm is ramping up, so I'm losing time to spend on this. But let me know if I can be of specific assistance.

BTW: Do we want to discuss a date for the summer BBQ?

to ask about venues. Do you have a spreadsheet for catering that you can add his name to for future reference?

Should it be listed as one line item, or two separate items: one for presentation and one for recording?

It maybe best to break them out by topic like Venue, website, etc. It looks like people have made some headway on venue information which is great. I'm going to call the Portsmouth schools tomorrow and try and get more information.
