User group meeting

Hi folks,

Happy 2016! Hope you all had a nice Christmas and New Years. Sorry I couldn't make the last meet-up.

I've seen that the website has been updated to the new dates but other than that I've not seen any updates. I though I'd put a date out so we can get started on discussing the logistics for the next DCB. Hope you can make it and we can get this ball rolling again.

Good plan Xavier! We need a plan for the site whether its COD or self rolled etc so would be good to get an agreement on that...

Yep sounds like a plan! Any

I'm going to have to bow out of any really meaningful hands-on support for this year's DrupalCamp Brighton. On the weekend of the Camp I'll be running speaker bootcamps for next large ThinkNation event (Westminster, July 2)... and given how the first one went, I'll be working full tilt on it from May onwards. I'm gutted. (I'm also not able to make this eve's meeting due to client conference call). However, I'd like to come along to future meetings to see if I can help in anyway. Really sorry again. Look forward to hearing updates.

I have only just seen this, I

I have only just seen this, I don't seem to get notifications anymore... doh!

Kev and I met up before Chirstmas for a quick chat about it - I was meant to write up notes on here about what was discussed but I totally forgot...

I'm not able to make it tonight but thought I would help with some directions to take :

*Venue - booked

*Date - 18th / 19th June

*Ticket prices - thoughts?

*Website - need a plan of action - will it stay on COD etc?

*Sponsors - Richard and Alick were main points of contact to sponsors last year - I wonder if you have time to have a look

*Print - I wonder if FMG would be up for sponsoring this again...

*Food - getting quote from JoJo's

*Speakers - start pushing for speakers

*Marketing - promoting it and pushing through social media and word of mouth

Kev and I were saying about main prios - sponsorship and ticket sales going up - who's in agreement?

Anyways- I hope you have a good meetup and sorry I can't make it.

Great meetup last night

Great meetup last night - made a few notes on actions that came out of the meeting although am certain either Kev or Xav have more detailed notes on this so feel free to add:

Imminent Actions

CTAs

  • Sponsorship
  • Volunteer
  • Register interest

  • Ticket prices - same as last year provided financials make sense?

We also discussed having a Brighton Group site that would act as a static site throughout the year with an event site/sub-section.

Other thoughts

  • D8 vs D7 (cod) - sounds like we're swaying to D8 here though will mean rolling our own scheduling etc.
  • Registration through Eventbrite
  • Business/Training day on the Friday

Also i may have missed this part but are we looking to use basecamp again to coordinate tasks ongoing?

Feel free to add :)

Just a couple of things to

Just a couple of things to add/amend

  • Ticket prices - £25/35 (£20 for students)
  • Find/book a large pub in town for sat
  • Get some keynote speaker ideas

Gemma have you managed to get a quote from JoJo's?

Can someone create a sponsorship pack?

Who will reach out to FMG about print sponsorship?

Kev has set up a teamwork instance for DCB if you want to get involved contact him.

I'll work on the sponsorship
