Drupalcon 2011

At Drupalcon? Join us Thursday 12-1PM in the Erie meeting room for Revolutionary Drupal: Coding and Supporting Social Change

Technology doesn't drive social change, but it is one tool used -- from the streets of revolutionary Cairo to community organizers in Detroit. Can we help support these social change movements with Drupal? Are there ways we can code and structure Drupal projects to make them more useful to activists? Does Drupal have a role in protests and strategic direct action?

This session will be an open discussion for those working around social change, case studies of using Drupal, and brainstorming for ways we could collaborate or support Drupal projects that support social change.

If you're going to be at Chicago Drupalcon, be sure to stop in at the Drupal for Nonprofits/NGOs/Community Orgs Birds of a Feather gathering!

They haven't announced the date/time for the BoFs yet, but it'll be posted on that page once they do.

Hope to see you there!

Hey everyone, I thought I'd let you know of an upcoming BOF session I'll be organizing at Drupalcon Chicago. If you have an interest or already build music sites with Drupal, I hope to see you there!

Kui mu mälu mind ei peta siis polnud eelmisel aastal San Franciscos peale minu ühtegi teist eestlast. On kellelgil sel aastal plaanis osa võtta?

Hear of a 'good deal' on flights from Seattle to DrupalCon 2011? Let us know!

There have been a number of discussions regarding flights to Chicago for DrupalCon 2011. I thought I'd start a thread where people could post found 'deals' so that those of us, who have yet to make arrangements, might also be able to save a buck.

This year at the DrupalCon Copenhagen we had a lot of different performance related Sessions. I watched mostly all of them and in the end I need to tell, that they are no big differences between them.

Now the Session Proposal for DrupalCon Chicago 2011 is open and I thought, why the different speakers can't organize before and make only two or three performance sessions, but them really great!

I'm thinking about a first sessions for beginners in which High Performance for Drupal is first explained, with some easy stuff.

The Drupal Association and the European Drupal community is pleased to announce that DrupalCon Europe will be hosted in the United Kingdom in 2011. We are inviting engaging speakers and are planning over 75 sessions, appealing to everyone from beginners to top level developers, designers and architects. This is the perfect opportunity to network, gain new skills and share your passion for Drupal. Please support this great event.

Hi Everybody,

First up, we, the European DrupalCon Selection Taskforce, apologize for the delay and lack of communication.

Consider this account of what has happened and what we discussed about, an attempt to improve the process, that we have started for the very first time.

Considering notes from the BOF and many comments from Drupalcon Paris, why I thought Lisbon could be an interesting choice:
- International Airport.
- Number of conference venues (including University of Lisbon¹).
- Small city, easily possible to walk everywhere.
- Beautiful architecture and history, not a tourist trap however.
- Extremely friendly people.
- Inexpensive accommodation & living.
- Bairo Alto: 4 blocks of just bars, easy social meetup point!
- Beaches for those that want.

Hi

Sorry for arriving late. I've made a Google Doc of the notes from the BOF.

Quick summary:

• Possible cities for 2010 is Berlin, Cologne, Prague, Copenhagen, Maastricht and London (in no particular order). The community (probably meaning people engaged in this group) should have a pick ready by October 15th, but before that Drupal Association will look for venues in each of the listed cities.
• Get ready to suggest cities for 2011 as well, since it should be decided no later than April 2010 (and preferrably sooner).
• Anyone wanting to be engaged in arranging Drupalcons should be more focused on promoting him/herself for a particular task than promoting the city he/she lives in.
