Start: 
2013-11-14 18:00 - 19:00 America/New_York
Organizers: 
Event type: 
User group meeting

See https://groups.drupal.org/node/342358 for notes from the prior meeting

Meet in or near room 005 in the Friend Center on the campus of Princeton University (look for a sign).

We've done publicity with postcards at Drupaldelphia and DrupalCamp Montreal. We will have additional promotional post cards available if you want to distribute them in your office or at events.

We have several sponsors already, but need to get more to insure we can meet our budget.

Need to put out the call for trainings, but also have potential interest from some of the trainers from last year.

Sean has come up with a new background design for the site, so we should be able to move forward with getting a site live soon.

Based on an update from EventBrite on their ToS, it sounds like we could actually store registrant data since we're the organizers. If we want to we could auto-create Drupal accounts for anyone registered via eventbrite (or even have that as the only avenue?)

Some things to discuss:

-More benefits to trainers.
-A t-shirt for volunteers?
-Getting swag samples.
-More concrete plans for sprint day?
-Do we need to increase our food budget to provide more coffee? (I don't remember if we talked about this already)

Sponsorships & Website

I'm doing another email push today to new and previous sponsors. However, if anyone wants to assist with reaching out and following up that would be great.

Also, I will be checking in next week prior to our planning meeting with all previous sponsors. Hopefully, I'll have some more good news over the next few days.

Lastly, I really think it is key that we get the site up sooner rather than later, as recognition of sponsor support is a key part of their benefit.

Please include me in that email push

I'm working on getting my employer to be a sponsor. Please forward the info to me at dwayne.bailey@eyestreet.com so that I can send it on to the powers that be

Once we have registration

Once we have registration open (or even now looking for sponsors?) we should ask the DA to help with publicity via newsletters and social media:

Meeting notes: Sponsors so

pwolanin's picture

Meeting notes:

Sponsors so far:

Blink Reaction: diamond
Acquia: gold
Zivetch: gold
Major League Soccer: gold

need to work finding or confirming prospective platinum sponsors

possible trainers so far:
Six Mile Tech
Blink Reaction

Zivtech is also considering offering training
Nick_vh might be able to come down from Acquia

evolvingweb would like to do it again, but cannot due to a schedule conflict.

So we need perhaps someone to do a Views training.

Sean has completed a new background design for the website, so we can start setting up COD for this year.
