nice, venue question
That's great. Where are you thinking of hosting on the Big Island?

I am co-founder of a Drupal-based startup on the Big Island (https://bigisland.fish) and we would be very interested in helping with this.

@mikedotexe @bradjones1 - I'm happy for venue suggestions. Let me know if you have anything in mind.
Big Island
Definitely would attend.
Venue on Big Island
I think most computer pros are in Hilo with Kailua-Kona a distant 2nd. I have no idea on the Drupal spread across the island. It is VERY decentralized here with very little interaction outside of the Hilo guys who look like they have regular "computer" meetings.
Maybe we can wait to see who chimes in & then secure venue. May is pretty slow on Big Island.
Thanks
Do you have contacts or can you stead the word?
I'll post poll next week in regards to date and preferred location.
Where are you based?

No contacts
I don't know anyone here using Drupal. We tried to do a spur of the moment get together a few years ago. Got little response.
Maui +1
I haven't run into other Drupalers here on Maui but I'd attend. Once the island and date are dialed, I'll spread whatever word I can here locally.
I'm in Honolulu and those dates look good to me
I'm a long time Drupal user and front end web developer working at UH Manoa. I'd be very interested in attending a Drupal camp! I know a couple other people at the University who would attend as well. Just chiming in here to let you know.
Maybe we could do something
Maybe we could do something between our schools sometime.
This sounds freaking amazing.

Thanks everyone for coming
Thanks everyone for coming out of the woodwork on this. Since it sounds like a good number of folks will either be traveling inter-island or perhaps from the mainland/internationally, I think planning early would be great. Big Island Fish is happy to donate organizational support and a website.
It sounds like Vladimir is in the business of providing training, and that would allow us to do something similar to a lot of other camps, which is a pre-conference day of paid optional training, and perhaps a welcome reception, followed by a community-run camp with a traditional schedule of keynote + sessions.
A Friday/Saturday May 18/19 would work great for that setup.
I just created a #hawaii channel on the Drupal Slack (https://www.drupal.org/slack - see instructions to self-invite) so if Vladimir and anyone else who would like to be part of the organizing committee can join and ping me there (@bradjones1) we can get moving on this.
Thanks everyone for their support and interest!
Podcast Promos and Drupical
The May dates sound great to me. If this is officially moving forward, I'd be happy to give a shout out in an episode of the Behind the Screens podcast, and you could reach out to Matt Kleve and Mike Herchel at the Lullabot podcast for a promo.
Also, definitely create an official event in g.d.o as soon as it's official so you show up on Drupical.com.
Personally, I'd love to attend!

future plans
completely missed this!
I was poking around a bit a year ago when I joined Drupal.com to see if there was much of a community involvement here in Hawaii and was bummed to not find much as far as events and active groups are concerned. I am bummed that I missed this because its exactly what I was looking for. Anyway I hope it went well and would love to know if we plan on doing it again. I am in Laie and our school BYUH uses Drupal so there would be several of us interested in attending.
This actually didn't happen
This actually didn't happen so you didn't miss anything; it is unfortunate that we didn't get any momentum going but this thread and group have slowly attracted Hawaii Drupal users so never say never!
Is the camp still being planned?
Hi!
I was just wondering if planning for this camp is going forward. I will becoming to the Big Island in October and November of 2019 to plan a move there in the next few years. If the dates for some reason would end up shifting and be in that time frame I would be interested in attending and volunteering.
I have to wonder if the Hawaiian Drupal community would benefit from a virtual user group meetup that could take place online. I get the feeling that people that work with Drupal there are scattered all over. Any thoughts?

OK We are on, we can finally do this!
I have some help from sponsors and am pleased to announce we will be doing Drupal Camp Hawaii on July 11, 2020.
With help from Acquia (website hosting), Pantheon (publicity and support through the Hero program), and Lullabot (my employer) I'm committed to doing the 2nd annual Drupal Camp on Honolulu (most probably at Entrepreneurs Sandbox) .
Please join us and most importantly, please register for early bird tickets (only $35) so we can secure the venue. Would you like to present, provide training, or do a lightning demo of your Drupal site? Reach out here.
Let's do this!
