I love it. Can you tell us more about the presentation you gave at DrupalCamp Timisoara?

I'd be up for cycling,

I'd be up for cycling, soccer, frisbee, yoga or any number of things that don't involve blowing out my knees. Perhaps we could negotiate a reduced rate at a nearby gym for Drupalcon participants. There are a lot of people who travel. It would be interesting to pool their wisdom to see what we can do to make it so that people return home physically better for having gone.

We could also have a bof track that is constantly going on that would be games or physical activities that people could join for an hour, as well as a room with people discussing nutrition and other fitness related topics.

Or we could have recess every two hours for fifteen minutes.

Cycling

Szeged was great, (independent of the Drupalcon) there was a Critical Mass that kindly took us around town :-)

How many of you are planning

How many of you are planning to take your bikes -- or rent them upon arrival -- to camps and cons?

Cycling / soccer / volleyball

The idea of physical activity after sitting at a con all day sounds like a much-welcomed change over the typical routine of immediately finding a bar.

Though an organized bike ride might be chilly in March in Chicago, an indoor soccer or volleyball game would be perfect. I think a rousing of game of either could be just bring the community together just as much as conversing over beers. In fact, I bet the beer will taste even better after a soccer match!

I know a little bit about

I know a little bit about Capoeira. It might be fun to have a game or two.

Any other Capoeiristas around?

Nice to see PK & FR on that list.

I'm not making it to the con, but as a practitioner of Parkour, and a Drupal user, it's wonderful to see freerunning / parkour on that list.

Hope you all have fun!

"Drupal Fit" Track at DrupalCon Chicago?

acouch's picture

I think it would be awesome to have a 'Drupal Fit' track at Chicago with some of the activities listed above. It sound like this is what is being organized here. Would love to help out. Let me know if you want some help with this.

Are you going to DrupalCon

Are you going to DrupalCon Chicago? I just suggested a Drupal Fit BoF in the chicago2011.drupal.org forums:
