Conference

Final meeting to review and tuneup the sessions.
Ideally all session slides will be in and we can do a review and provide feedback to the submitters.

Everyone is welcome to attend this meeting, planning is half the fun!

Location to be announced.

It's hard to believe that the camp is already just 8+ weeks away. We had our first session meeting, thanks for the great input. I've attached a list sessions we have planned and the structure. We have additional topics coming from vendors so it promises to be a great camp!

We're pleased to announce Drupal Everywhere: Making Mobile Websites with Drupal, a one-day conference on Saturday, November 20, 2010. Thanks to our sponsors, this event is free and open to the public.

Design for Drupal comes to LA! The first annual Drupal Design Camp LA conference is officially scheduled for February 5-6, 2011, in Los Angeles, California.

Registration for Drupal Design Camp LA is done at http://2011.ddcla.org and you're welcome to sign up. Registering for the conference is as simple as signing up for an account. We'll be launching the full site soon with information about the venue, local hotels, restaurants and coffeeshops, and begin accepting session proposals.

The Drupal Design Camp LA conference follows in the footsteps of the Drupal Design Camps at Standford, in Boston and in Prague, which have successfully brought designers, themers, developers, information architects and usability engineers together. These conferences are just like DrupalCamps but offer sessions and presentations specifically about design and theming topics such as grid design, usability testing, sustainable, additive approaches to theming and so on.

What's Design for Drupal?

Translating a design into a Drupal "theme" is often a high barrier and it has been difficult and costly for many designers to have a "design-driven approach" to Drupal. Feedback from the design community has often focused on the difficulties of designing for the Drupal theme system, which combines several programming disciplines and languages, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP.

Design for Drupal is a relatively new movement in the Drupal community to help make Drupal more friendly and approachable to designers, information architects and usability engineers, and in general anyone who is interested in customizing Drupal's output to the web page. At its core, Design for Drupal is about inviting the larger design community together to be a part of the Drupal community and enabling designers, usability engineers, developers, information architects and themers to coordinate efforts, come up with creative ideas and work towards making Drupal easier to use and look beautiful.

In March of 2011, thousands of Drupal users, developers, designers, evaluators and businesspeople will descend on Chicago's Sheraton Hotel and Towers for sessions, talks, code sprints, and more at DrupalCon Chicago. Whether you're already using Drupal or considering it for your company or organization, you won't want to miss out on this one-of-a-kind event.

Registration is now open for DrupalCamp LA 2010. Mark your calendars for Saturday & Sunday, August 7-8th, 2010. Attendance is free. The camp will be taking place in the same great venue from last year - UC Irvine in the city of Irvine, California. The campus has housing available if you wish to rent rooms to stay overnight.

If you registered last year then your account is already setup and you just need to login and edit your profile to mark what days you plan to attend.

Free to attend. Parking costs about $8-12 per day. Lunch is not provided but you can bring your own or buy a food pass from the cafeteria on campus (which people liked last year). Nighttime private camp party on Saturday 7PM-MIDNIGHT sponsored by MediaTemple.
