Many of you have gotten the "save the date" email. Planning for Twin Cities Drupal Camp 2019 is underway, we've set aside June 6th-8th for camp this year and are planning on returning to the University of St Thomas again.

If you would like to help organize the camp this year, please fill out the contact form on the camp site to let us know or just jump into the issue queue/Slack channel.

At this early stage of planning, we are experimenting with using drupal.org projects for camp planning. This is a very open and transparent way of allowing for public input and participation in the process.

At this stage, there is no commitment to sticking with this as our primary camp planning tool, but here is your chance to let us know what you think and/or engage in the process.

You can see all of the tasks that we've identified so far, there are more to come.

Possible changes to the format of camp

stpaultim's picture

There is a lot of talk this year about changing the format/schedule for camp. We'd love some feedback on this topic.

We've created a summary of the ideas that have been floated so far on this page:
https://www.drupal.org/project/tcdrupal2019/issues/3038149

The kinds of ideas that are being floated are:

1) Eliminating the Sunday contribution sprints and working contribution into camp on other days
2) Incorporating more "unconference/BOF" time in the camp
3) Moving trainings to Saturday or limiting camp to 1/2 day trainings on Thursday

Please, review these ideas and let us know what you think.

On a related topic, we're talking about how long sessions should be (30 min, 45 min, or 60min):
