drupalcon

Just a few quick updates this week...

• Session submissions have been streaming in and close on Friday October 26, so there's only 3 working weeks to get yours in at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/program/submit-session. All speakers will be eligible for a half price event ticket once selected.

• We've passed the half way mark for available tickets sold, so let your friends and clients know to get theirs quick at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/register

This is a strategy laid out for the Drupal Association based on conversations held at "DrupalCon 2.0, Reloaded".

Mission

To help the Drupal Association to scale itself and to create a successful fundraising strategy.

The Risks of the Current Strategy

In this excellent post by Laura Scott, she points out that:

Exactly 2 weeks ago, the Drupal Association canceled DrupalCon Sao Paulo. I believe that this provides us with a unique opportunity to reflect about how DrupalCons are organized and how we can make them better in the future.

While still digesting all the info from DrupalCon Munich and day dreaming about Drupal 8 one aspect of DC Munich not yet reflected on our blog is FUN! yup it was a blast! (no not that kind…)… with a contingent of 6 we had plenty of it and Munich was most hospitable!

Hi everyone,

With the unfortunate cancellation of DrupalCon Sao Paolo, the focus will be shifting firmly to DrupalCon Sydney in February 2013 (http://sydney2013.drupal.org), so here's a few things to prepare for:

• Session submissions are already open, and there's been a fantastic initial response from local and international applicants. The deadline is Friday October 26, so there's six weeks to get your submission in at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/sessions

Below is a recap of the discussions had at my PM BoFs in Munich this August 2012, and the resources we talked about. Thanks to everyone who came and participated!

As is the case with most of the PM BoF’s I’ve done over the past 4 Drupalcons, the conversation I was most interested in was around lessons learned. I love it when people can discuss where their projects went off the rails, why, what drives them crazy and how we can all learn from those experiences and exchange ideas/solutions.

The first DrupalCon to be held outside the U.S. and Europe will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on December 6-8. I’m excited to be part of the Content Team and the track chair of the large-scale Drupal track for this important event.

It’s the first time this topic has been included in its own track at a DrupalCon. I wrote a blog post with the track description, and an invitation for anyone who is interested to present a session: http://devsu.com/labs/have-experience-large-drupal-projects-submit-session
