User group meeting

Problem/Motivation

  • We want more people to use Drupal.
  • We want to run another DrupalCamp in Brighton.
  • There seems to be a concentration of Drupal Commerce talent in the Brighton Area

Proposed resolution

  • There have been quite a few DrupalCamps in the UK of recent - a focused camp, like a Drupal CommerceCamp - would provide something different & good for the community.

Remaining tasks

  • Meet @theskiff 7-9pm 29th April for inaugural Brighton CommerceCamp meeting.
  • Pretty much everything else.

User interface changes

  • Businesses will be demanding Drupal for their online systems
  • Drupal Commerce will be demystified to many newcomers.
  • Drupal Commerce Developers will be enriched with best practices.
  • Answers will be given to burning questions.
  • Friends will be made.

I think one of the challenges

I think one of the challenges for Commerce is that its not a click and go system but more a commerce framework that plug and plays with Drupal so it can be so much more than just a shop.

Ive seen several frustrated posters not realising this, although there's a great list of contrib modules around now to compete better.

That's where we come though to build great solutions!

At the WiredSussex members meetup last night I introduced myself to Tom Bailey who's organising the Brighton Digital Festival. He said he has all the contact details for event spaces, plus mentioned we need to check out the calendar & organisers guide on http://www.brightondigitalfestival.co.uk/ as there's deadlines if we want to get mentioned and be part of the fest, if not in Sept then no need.

Also he mentioned the Blind Tiger next door to the uni which could also be used: http://playgroupbrighton.org/

Nice

Excellent idea Steve. I wish there were more subject-focused DrupalCamps like this. Can't make it for the meetings but definitely interested in turning up for the event.
