At tonight's TriDUG February 2014 monthly meetup at Bull City CoWorking was tentative agreement that we more seriously consider holding our own mini-camp, as started in my post here: https://groups.drupal.org/node/405333. We had identified a number of desirable attributes of the mini camp format; in particular, keeping the format simple so that can better make one happen. We have a number of options to consider and we agreed that using G.D.O. is the best starting point for these discussions. So I'm getting the ball rolling with the next few posts. Hope to see everyone help us on making these decisions.
I'm posting a poll for your preference for when to hold our mini-camp. Buildamodule has a handy calendar for Drupal events here: http://buildamodule.com/drupal-camps-calendar for reference
