Planning DrupalCamp Bangalore 2016

Format - we can stick to same format.
Dates - 23 - 24 APril
Any other feedback from the previous camp or other camps/cons that we can implement - We should plan early for everything. Last one month should be used nothing but promoting the event.

Why nobodies active on these days?

Hi, I would suggest we stick to a yearly schedule and organize it around the same time every year. Last year was a great success and we should look forward to make it even bigger this year.

Totally agreed with Rakesh that the site should be up with minimum viable information about the camp well before time.

So June/July gives us ample time to work on all the areas.

I am working with Neeraj for registering the DrupalCamp Bangalore as non profit association. We should be able to open the bank account afterwards. This will help us to avoid problems related to getting payment as well as sending invoice to sponsors.

Hi Chakri,

I think we should be more open about the Core Commitee stuff, Because Drupal itself an open source.

If Dries haven't had that open vision from the beginning of Drupal none of us will be here.

For the core committee, should be open and not centralized. People like Sudheesh Sudhakaran (TCS) and Neeraj Kumar (Valueboud) worked really hard towards the success of Drupal Camp Bangalore 2015.
I strongly feel both of them should be warmly welcomed to Drupal Bangalore Core committee. Because of their work.

DCB 2015 happened not only because 5 members, It is success of many peoples contribution. Just Like Drupal. Drupal is not a single persons, organizations code, There is number of people contributed to it.

So Lets focus and work towards for the DCB16.

And I would suggest anything more on this should be discussed on the meetup/slack channel.

I had doubt about @chakri comment

PS: For further questions on this, please reach out to any of the Core committee members(Chakri,Gokul,Hussain or Jaya) so that we can have an offline discussion and not mix this with the Camp planning.

Is there any system or how it was decided about core committee members ????

I know what you meant. I was just trying to crack a joke in otherwise serious discussion. :)

+1 on the call but I am still unclear on the agenda. Just "clear things out" doesn't seem like a good thing to talk about because I can do that even now and not everyone can make it to the call. Can you elaborate on what you want to talk about? It's better if you can list actionable items.

@group

Personally I am not keen on getting my name listed as core committee member even though I would like to be active in making DCB16 bigger success. Till now core group has done wonderful job.

But yes, we should have more than just three active and visible members who are part of committee. From above discussions it more looks like, group is very exclusive and is not open for members who wants to come on-board or missed the bus earlier.

Even though our event was success in general term but potential was much bigger if we had managed it better and had a de-centralized decision making process unlike last time.

If we are making the discussion in private that implies, we are still not open. Unless we bring more members in decision making process, how are we helping them? Unless we encourage and ask group members to take leadership role, by default they will remain mare participants in general.

To make this inclusive, I feel we are not doing enough to encourage people to come forward. Just asking people to come and join won't help. Pro-actively we should identify and help members to take responsibilities. Responsibilities of core group should be nothing but helping them to succeed.

Hi, please finalize the call time for DCB 16 planning. Or else, we could have a meetup in upcoming weekends for this purpose, i believe it will be more fruitful than the google hangout call.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Few things that I think we can do in this camp :
1. As in one of the initiative that was planned, using sub domain of a common indian specific domain www.drupal.org.in for camps in india, so this time it can be dcb2016.drupal.org.in ? last time I push same for drupalcamp pune but we were late.

1. As after making the few camps sites, we realised in drupalcamp pune to make a common profile for drupacamps that will provide all the functionality out of the box, Here we have this time drupalcamp distribution that will help in fast camp site. https://www.drupal.org/project/drupalcamp

I changed to Zoom.

Please find the url https://zoom.us/j/734790354 [2.30pm, 19/1/2016]

Agenda:

1) Welcome the new volunteers. 
2) Camp date, 
3) Website
4) Next date for call/meetup (For camp)

Thank you.

Hangout, zoom or skype is fine with me. Zoom is the tool which we have been using for connecting with Drupal community(Indian and International) and its good.

Guys,
I am assuming the meeting is on zoom and I have connected to the above zoom link.

We can schedule the call, I guess everyone is settled by now. Next week sounds fine to everyone?

How about Wednesday, second half?

That's even better!!.

Have we finalised any dates for the camp ?
And I want to be a volunteer for Bangalore camp. @Hussain Let me know if there is any task for me.

Hi srihari,

I'm in for the camp. The dates seem to be fine
