Greetings,

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in a meetup in Madison later this month to get together and talk about whether we should organize a Drupal Camp Wisconsin this summer? I'm open to other topics as well.

Location

clbuggs's picture

No, I actually work in Janesville, but I live in Madison. I could check availability at the central library as we've had other meet-ups there, just let me know if that location works for everyone. Does afternoon or evening work better for everyone? I can do either.

OK. I'll shoot an email to

OK. I'll shoot an email to our UW DUG and let them know about this thread and see if they have opinions.

I'm interested

Doodle Poll, location for Drupal Camp Wisconsin

kristy.wendt's picture

Hi Everyone,

I liked the idea of getting together to talk about a Drupal Camp and wondered if I could help by making a Doodle Poll and suggested location. I think last time I met with a WI Drupal group we met in the public library -- not sure who made the reservation, but it worked well. Want me to make a doodle poll and meet at the library, or what are we thinking?

doodle it up

alancsilver's picture

Yeah. Kristi... We just need someone to kickstart the effort. I'd say throw up a doodle poll suggest some times during day and some in evening. And suggest it will be around campus. Once we can narrow down time/day we can grab a location

thank you!

Hey Everyone, Here's a link with some suggested times to talk about Drupal Camp anything else Drupal related at UW: http://doodle.com/poll/7i5cxzuzx9iarrpw

Hey Everyone,

It's looking like next Thursday, April 21st at 4:00 pm is working best for everyone, excluding Erin C. (Sorry, Erin! Not sure if you want to explore other options or could skype in at that time?) However, I don't see the original planner clbuggs on here, and that has me a little worried. clbuggs, I'm wondering if you might need assistance getting to and from a location since you work in Janesville? I live in Janesville and could help with a ride if needed -- would be a little backwards, but could figure something out.

Now, just need a location? There are rooms here at LOCI that I could reserve if needed that would hold us. It's at 1675 Observatory Drive, but we could otherwise meet wherever the group would like.

Thanks,
Kristy

if possible

Any chance we can have the meeting closer to me? I'll need to skedaddle by 4:40 or so, earlier if we meet up near you....

Meeting

kristy.wendt's picture

Hi folks,

Waiting for a recommendation from Alan about location -- not sure where you are Alan? Just let me know, we'll pick a place, and send out a final notice. Should be a short meeting, not longer than 30 minutes.

Thanks,
Kristy

Union South

FYI. I am over in chemistry.
But we can meet up at Union South. There doesn't seem to be that many of us, so I suggest to meet neat the fireplace and see if that works out for us. We have done this in the past and it has been dandy

Hi Everyone,

We'll be meeting to discuss Drupal camp 4:00 pm on Thursday, April 18th at Union South! Should be a short meeting, just introduce ourselves, maybe discuss topics of interest, potential locations and times for a possible camp. If folks can't make it, we can post meeting minutes on this thread.

Thanks,
Kristy

Hi - sorry I can't come

steve hanson's picture

but it's a long way from up here in the great northwest. And I couldn't come anyway because I'm going to be in New Glarus speaking.

A couple quick notes -
I just renewed the domain name - I've been paying for the domain as a contribution. And the site from last year is still up - though the code is WAY behind on security updates.

I wonder how many Wisconsinites might attend DrupalGov? A good chunk of the Madison community at least are affiliated with the city or state government, so maybe good to avoid that overlap. And of course we should avoid overlapping with our friends in IA and MN.

July 29-30 would give us the most time to plan. :)

I might be in Europe until July 18. That's not a reason to move the camp; just noting. :)

Wondering

alancsilver's picture

I was wondering if the 29-30 is too close to DrupalCorn and if that makes a difference.

I can't imagine many people going to DrupalGov actually. I'll ask around and see if anyone is planning to go

Here we go...

Take the poll to set the date
