drupalcon

Hi All,
I've posted the idea of a session on internationalization here on the OSCMS/DrupalCon CA 2007 site http://2007.oscms-summit.org/node/92

You can vote for the presentation and add comments to it over there.

cheers,
Ian

At the Events 2.0 presentation DWW took notes during the session. Most of the presentation was to provide context for the Revised Event Spec – published here earlier.

Huge shout out to DWW for taking such detailed notes - I've gone through and tried to edit a bit so that people who were not there would have a little more context - DWW - if I've screwed something up please don't hesitate to point it out....

Drivers for Events 2.0 -

There is not a lot of functionality within the Drupal modules around Events.
Some of the modules don't “play well with others” and are not being maintained

Direction Forward:

I'm working on having this new DrupalCon in Barcelona, next September 2007. So here it is this new group which I hope it will help me out.

The dates I'm working on are the 20th, 21st and 22nd of September 2007 which will give us some time to look around, go to the beach.... Any firsts thoughts on this?

I've landed in the lovely overcast city of brussels, and will be staying at 2go4 for the week.... while i don't have tickets for Euro OScon, I would love to participate in any post-convo discussions. if your interested in chatting or viewing the city, i can be reached via SMS at +1.917.657.6999 or on skype at nonecknoel / +1.718.312.8453

Hi All,

Anybody here in Ireland heading to Drupalcon in Brussels.

I'll be booking my flight and Hostel this evening.
I'm doing this on the cheap!

Regards
Alan

Good news! There are several people that have volunteered to help out with coverage of DrupalCon, and Norbert Fuerst has offered his services to do post production on all footage through his video production company.

I've just posted this request to the front page of the Drupalcon site:

We've already had both Development Seed and CONSEN step up and commit some money at the Silver sponsor level in order to get video coverage of DrupalCon.

However, having looked into getting coverage by a firm that specializes in such things, it looks to be 900EU for one cameraperson for only one day of the conference...which would only cover one room as well. This looks to be too expensive for us.

So, we are looking to the community to come up with some ideas. One person in a comment said they could bring their camcorder, but we need commitment from people to setup and run such coverage.

Anyone have other ideas regarding video coverage?

Other ideas and/or organizing to get full coverage -- please post below.

after a quick skim of the DrupalCON attendee's list, it seems there's at least a few of us from the bay area heading to brussels in september (drumm, amazon, myself, merlinofchaos, etc). i just wanted to post something here to have a place to discuss:

a) anyone else planning on going from this part of the world?
b) try to coordinate some travel plans (when are folks leaving, coming back, etc)
c) anyone want to try to split double rooms in hotels, etc?
d) anyone staying after drupalCON? if so, how long?

personally, i have to be in geneva for another conference for my day job, which is why i'm able to attend DrupalCON at all. i'll just have to take the train from geneva up to brussels late on thursday 9/21. but, i'm thinking about staying in brussels for a few days after 9/24 -- anyone else planning to stick around?

Final info --
WHEN: Sept. 22nd and 23rd (Dot Org Day on the 21st, BarCamp on the 24th); see schedule for more details
WHERE: Brussels, Belgium, at the SAP Lounge

Sign into the Drupalcon website and fill out your profile to indicate you're attending.

As you might know, we try to organize at least two big Drupal events a year: one in North America and one in Europe. The latest Drupal conference took place in Vancouver and attracted more than 150 people! That is almost 6 months ago so a couple months ago we started scouting venues for this year's European Drupal conference. We are pleased to announce that this year's DrupalCON Europe which will take place in Brussels (Belgium), the second half of September (two months from now!). We'll communicate the exact dates and location as soon we have confirmation from the venue -- hopefully by the end of next week.
