DrupalCamp LA

Hi folks,

With DrupalCampLA drawing (very) close and a fantastic showing of attendees (225 as I write this), we are finding ourselves in a bit of a budget crunch.

We agreed to the offer to host DrupalCampLA at the LA Convention Center on the conditions that costs would be kept low and we would have wireless internet access available to us. We also had to give up the ability to serve food as we did last year.

This is easy and quick, nothing fancy, no voting - just post your session idea (title) and your name/contact info and show up to present that day! We have sessions open from 10am-2pm each day (Saturday and Sunday) and each session should plan for 45 minutes each.

Oh yes, it's that time..

The first one was a blast so we're doing it again. BUT we'd love your input so that we can avoid conflicts for DrupalCampLA Weekend.
Please see the wiki at http://groups.drupal.org/node/12528 and make your comments to the dates listed.

We are not open to doing this sooner - simply too many vacations, conferences, and various conflicts to make people happy. We want to enjoy summer too! Late September is left out because I'm becoming an aunt somewhere around there. Selfish? yeah. But it's about balance, right?

I had started to make this a reply to the DrupalCon thread, but it should probably be separate. So, if you're coming into the discussion, might want to see that first.

Anyhow..
Oooh, annual DrupalCamp... I was trying to make things too hard on myself and think of doing two in a year. (by the way, doing two in a year is not wise. I'm in that loop from BarCampLA already).

DrupalCampLA 2007 cost just a hair over $1600 to put on, and served about 110 people over the two days. We raised more than that, but donated it back to the Drupal Association. That included:

Calling all LA DrupalCampers...

The GREAT news is that we'll have secure, free, underground parking and security for the event. The minorly inconvenient news is that we will need everyone's **REAL NAMES ** in order to let them into the event. Please send an email to drupalcampla@gmail.com with your real name and your meal preference (omnivore, vegetarian, vegan) ASAP or we may not be able to let you in.
