drupalcon

We have opened registration to the web site of our next Drupalcon in Barcelona. By registering at http://barcelona2007.drupalcon.org you will be able to post your session proposals and post in the site's forums. Conference registration is NOT yet open but it will be soon. Keep an eye on it!

Also, a logo design contest has been opened. Deadline is June 10th. You can read all the details about the contest on http://barcelona2007.drupalcon.org/news/2007/05/11/design-contest-drupal...

Go for it!

Attention Drupal companies - FrOSCon 2007 is seeking sponsors. EUR300 is enough to become a bronze sponsor and have your company logo next to MySQL's. FrOSCon is dedicating a large lecture hall with a projector, a smaller "hackers" room, wifi, air conditioning, food for the presenters, and swag, all so that we can have a dedicated Drupal track. Becoming at least a bronze sponsor is a great way to show our appreciation to them for this effort, and to help make FrOSCon 2007 a defining moment for the German Drupal community.

We still have space for several more lightening talks at the OSCMS/DrupalCon. I'd like to have around 10 or so, if possible, so please step up. You can sign up for a lightening talk by leaving a comment on the LT page. This would be an excellent opportunity to show off something evil. I'll be talking about viewfield, first announced here in D4E.

Just a quick note for everyone: the Dojo has a couple of events around the upcoming OSCMS Summit next week in Sunnyvale California. We have a session scheduled for Friday afternoon which I will lead:

http://2007.oscms-summit.org/node/206

This will cover the brief history of the Dojo, and talk a bit about where it's going, but the focus will be on how the model and technology stack can be replicated by other groups. This session is intended for the general public, and while I'd love help presenting and explaining our group (leave me a comment if you're interested in that), if you'd rather check out some of the other great sessions going on at the same time, they're likely to have more new information for you.

For the Dojo Faithful, I'm also organizing a BoF (Birds of a Feather) gathering on Thursday after the scheduled sessions wrap up:

http://2007.oscms-summit.org/node/208

The location is TBA. I'll try to find a good place to have a happy hour from 6 to 7 or so. Very likely what will happen is we'll all meet at some spot on the Yahoo Campus, and take it from there.

Some of the Open Office Developers in Barcelona are members of the Catalan Drupal community also and let us know that next Open Office 2007 Conference will be held in Barcelona exactly the same dates as our Drupalcon. (By the way, I like the way they choosed Barcelona - call for locations, proposals and voting. We might use this methode next time?)

We are now talking to the OO catalan developers about a possible collaboration. My thoughts are that this would be a great opportunity to have two compatible open source conferences on the same venue from which everyone could benefit (shared costs for a greater publicity). There might be a drawback: the venue we planned might not be big enough for both events, so we might have to look for another one. That's not a problem but any other venue will not be as nice, suitable and cheap. However I would like to know what you think about it. What are your comments on this? Thanks.

I can't login with my Drupal.org username/password. The contact form has not been configured. Not sure who I should tell about this.

DrupalCon Sunnyvale (part of the OSCMSS) needs Cash sponsors to help defray some of the OSCMS costs as well as fund coding rooms on Sunday (and maybe saturday) as well as some other miscellaneous expenses.

Any money that is not used For DrupalCon (anything left over) will go towards The Drupal Association.

Please post a comment or contact me directly if you are interested in sponsoring.

We're going produce some shirts for Drupal Con.
Submit your designs.

Hey Evil Drupalers,

I wanted to point you to the Drupal Lightning Talks at DrupalCon. They're a great opportunity to showcase something truly evil about Drupal.

Now back to your regularly scheduled evilness.
