oscon

Hello All

We have had a stand accepted for OsCon Europe next week in London under the banner of Drupal Camp London as a not for profit entity.
http://conferences.oreilly.com/oscon/open-source-eu/public/schedule/grid...

It's a good opportunity to just spread the word about Drupal and meet like minded people.

We need some volunteers to come and man the stand, meet and greet, talk about Drupal's features and benefits (particularly Drupal 8) etc. would be good to get at least 6+ people along.

Just RSVP with a comment below if you're interested.

I'm selling an OSCON bronze pass - I recently won it at a raffle event and I'm going to be traveling and can't use it myself.

I'm selling the pass for $1000 (reg. price $1695). Contact me at ELiedel@aol.com - I can register you directly so I don't need to have OSCON transfer the ticket (and it's too late for that anyway).

Thanks.

Emily

Who would be interested in a Drupal social dinner on either the 23rd or the 24th? I know a great Italian place a short walk from the venue and I can get a reservation for almost any number given a little notice (a good friend of mine is a server there).

If interested, comment and let me know which day(s) would be best if you have a preference so I can pick one and schedule an event.

Basically, too many interesting events compete for too few nights during OSCON, so let's gather them all here for people to intelligently pick what they can and cannot miss.

I'll start with what I know:

Building your FOSS developer community with Drupal: http://fosscoach.wikia.com/index.php?title=Build_your_FOSS_developer_com...

When I was recently down in the Bay Area, I connected with some Drupal folks and talked about planning for upcoming activities.

Since our last "con" was in North America, if we follow previous series, then the next one should be in Europe.

My personal current plans around this are to organize a DrupalCon around BarCamp Brussels / EuroOSCON 2006 in Brussels. Dries is presenting in Brussels, and Colin Brumelle just got word that his talk on "Music 2.0" has also been accepted.

The "cons" generally are a mix of developer and user work, and we've had lots of presentation-style content. Coding tends to be limited to (sometimes very successfull) hallway and hotel hacking. I think the timing and place of DrupalCon Brussels is probably a good one, but how do we make sure we get some fun hacking in?
