DrupalCamp LA

Just throwing this out there to see if there are others in the San Fernando Valley area who'd be interested in carpooling to Drupal Camp LA. I plan on driving there in the morning and back during the evening (haven't decided how late - was thinking of just playing it by ear) on Sat. and Sun. So far, I'm currently carpooling with one other person on Sun.

Mark your calendars for DrupalCamp LA 2010, Saturday & Sunday, August 7-8th, 2010, taking place at the University of California, Irvine campus in the city of Irvine, Orange County, California. Registration is now open. Attendance is free.

With over 500 camp attendees and 60+ session proposals, us organizers of Drupal Camp LA needed a Drupal site that was built for organizers and attendees, with lessons learned from 3+ DrupalCons & 2+ DrupalCamps. Here is our formula for our awesome camp site.

"DrupalCampLA.com was built on Drupal 6 using core & contributed modules to handle event registration, sponsorship management, featured speakers, user bio's, and session proposals. The website features an attendee driven event schedule where members propose sessions and only registered members pick which sessions they'd like to see (in the BarCamp style). Planning the schedule for the day of events has been made flexible enough to allow organizers to maintain a master schedule with ease. Not to mention that all attendees get their own schedule view with the sessions they pick."

"The web site was based on the latest Drupal 6.x release and utilized many of the current generation modules such as CCK for content customization, imagefield and imagecache to handle imaging Views & custom theming built on Zen for content presentation." (A full list of the modules used is in the case study - http://drupal.org/node/519100 )

The download link is available in the case study post - http://drupal.org/node/519100 and has been made available by LA Drupal & This By Them.

At DrupalCampLA I presented two sessions on Project Management Site, which is a Drupal site that I configured for Project Management. I created the demo site to show project managers that Drupal is a far superior program than many PM applications.

At the end of the first session I promised to list the installed modules. Here is a link to that list:
