We've put up a community wiki you can use to organise stuff together

http://drupal.org.au/wiki

Realityloop's Brian Gilbert is hosting the contribution sprints on Saturday 7 March at DrupalSouth and needs some volunteers to help out as Mentors.

Please get in touch if you're interested and willing to help get newcomers up to speed on how to contribute back to the Drupal Project. (you'll get a free T-shirt and bucketloads of karma)

Go to https://melbourne2015.drupal.org.au/contact and select Mentoring from the pull down menu.

The full session schedule for DrupalSouth has been posted to the website.

Of course this may be subject to change.

It's also available as an ical and json feed.

A huge thankyou to the team for getting it together, all of you who submitted sessions, the content team who reviewed them, and Chris, Rikki and Pete for getting it ship shape on the site.

Less than a month to go now, so get your ticket!

Since the original DrupalSouth Christchurch 2008, Drupal communities in Australia and New Zealand have organised major Drupal events with attendees numbering in the hundreds and international speakers for six consecutive summers:

• DrupalSouth Wellington 2010
• Drupal DownUnder Brisbane 2011
• Drupal DownUnder Melbourne 2012
• DrupalCon Sydney 2013
• DrupalSouth Wellington 2014
• DrupalSouth Melbourne 2015
• DrupalSouth ... 2016?

We're delighted to announce that the keynote speaker for DrupalSouth 2015 will be Angela "webchick" Byron.

If you're a Drupal enthusiast, Angie needs no introduction. For everyone else, her influence is there (whether you know it or not) every time you use a Drupal site, and it's been there for nearly 10 years.

Angie is a co-maintainer of Drupal Core, a Drupal educator, a community leader, and a passionate open source evangelist. She also manages to squeeze in a full-time job as Director of Community Development at Acquia.

There are only a few early bird tickets left. So if you want one, grab it now.
