DrupalCamp Brighton Wiki

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
You are viewing a wiki page. You are welcome to join the group and then edit it. Be bold!

In order to keep notes public I've created a wiki page so anyone can add stuff as they notice, rather than it getting loads of email threads, plus it's just observations, not orders ;)

Website:

  • Display submitted session proposals so can see what might be on, what's not there if proposing, etc.
  • Display 'community' page with profile pics so can see who's coming
  • No "XXL" size T-shirt
  • If T-shirts being given with ticket then ask things like that and meal preference on registration form as people don't bother going back often
    - Need directions from Airport - DONE
  • Need recommendations for accommodation (assigned to SteveP who still hasn't done anything apart from ask BNM+BFL & got no non-sarcy replies;)
  • Maybe a little more blurb on Brighton, or make the current blurb a bit more 'pronounced'

Event:
- Videoing sessions - London found student video club I believe, there maybe one there (need good audio too!)
- Directions - we should list some train times etc., perhaps a volunteer or two to hang around the train station and direct people at 'peak times'

Sprints:
- Friday - use upstairs meeting room at theskiff?

Thanks for doing this Steve - really useful - I think using basecamp alongside this is still effective for To Dos as its a lot easier to read / see whats been done / whos doing etc.

Open vs Closed

Right, but this is open and everyone can see it, and basecamp is closed and no-one can see it apart from an exclusive set of invited people.

GDO is getting a lot of investment so I realise it's PANTS at the moment, but it's simple - the info is either out there for people to see, comment, think about, ignore, etc. or it's closed. This stops all chance of fly-by helpers (e.g. other drupalcamp organisers from drupal world), other locals finding out what's going on, etc.

Anyway you know I'm not going to stop pushing this point :D

Sure, do the organising on what you find useful, but copy stuff up here so people can see too!

Yep - but there are certain

Yep - but there are certain things we dont want everyone to see - bank details etc etc.

Everything is being updated on here - I have just put a list up of where we are at - things that need doing and things we need help with - so not closing it off to anyone and asking for everyones feedback.

Simply using basecamp for things that shouldnt be public and for assigning tasks. Anyone can input their opinion and see what going on, not stopping that at all - most convos are on here. If people want to help out with things then they are added to the basecamp project so we can assign them things and give people ownership. It works in a much better way for getting things done and seeing where we are at with everything.

Not disagreeing with you that things need to be on here - I'm saying using basecamp is a useful tool that Kev set up to work alongside this.

I think both tools are good,

I think both tools are good, I agree we need to be as public as possible and show whats going on/where we are at/much info as poss on the event. Your push to use the groups pages helped on that front...

We also need BC to store passwords and organise the nitty gritty stuff that shouldnt be on show or is difficult to track if done or not. We need to be pretty organised on this one to make it a success and I think BC will help us do that.

Lizzie is on comms now and chomping at the bit so content requests and PR stuff can go her way... ;-)
