Final sprint for the Drupal Design Camp LA website on Saturday, January 29, 2011

Start: 
2011-01-29 10:00 - 16:00 America/Los_Angeles
Organizers: 
Event type: 
Sprint

We'll be launching the Drupal Design Camp LA site this week and I'm inviting all of you to my place for a final sprint. Top Notch Themes is done with the theme for the site and all we need in order to finish testing is for us to have some content up on the site.

Can anyone think of other things they want on the site, like a #ddcla feed or member discussion forums? This sprint is the last chance for brainstorming and implementing new functionality.

I've also posted a few placeholder pages on the dev site that we can fill in during the sprint:

  • About DDCLA (what to expect at the conference)
  • Where to stay (hotels near the venue that have shuttles from LAX)
  • Where to eat (restaurants and cafes near the venue)
  • Our Sponsors (sponsor pages with logos)

Meanwhile, it turns out that the http://designfordrupal.com domain was once used for sending spam and I'm moving everything over to http://www.ddcla.org instead. The Git repo will stay in the same place, though, and I'll make sure *.designfordrupal.com redirects to the right place, so this will be a seamless switch.

Drupal Design Camp LA website sprint in Wilshire, Los Angeles on Saturday, December 11th

Start: 
2010-12-11 10:00 - 16:00 America/Los_Angeles
Event type: 
User group meeting

Drupal Design Camp LA is barely 60 days away and we're having a website sprint on Saturday, December 11th. It will be between 10am-4pm. We might go past 4pm if we're up for it, but please don't show up before 10am.

The plan for the day is to use the Conference Organizing Distribution to set up the site and then write content (venue information, hotel locations, etc.) and add any extra modules that make the cut. We'll also start talking about the volunteer task list for the camp.

Signups are disabled for this event. We're just going to show up, roll up our sleeves and have fun!

Location

We're meeting between 10am-4pm at 4402 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90019, which is right on the corner of Pico Blvd. at Windsor Blvd. The nearest major intersection is Pico Blvd. and La Brea Blvd.

Here's a photo from Google Street View that shows the front door. Windsor Blvd. has free on-street parking and Pico Blvd. has metered parking. Out of respect for our neighbors, please do not park on Victoria Park Dr.

This location is on the edge of Wilshire in Los Angeles, but it's also called Mid City and is right next to Victoria Park. Sheesh. If you have trouble finding the place, here's a photo from Google Street View. You can also call LA Drupal's hotline at 855-LADRUPAL (855-523-7872).

Lunch

Lunch will be potluck-style, so please bring enough food and drinks for yourself + one. We have a grill, a fantastic kitchen and a huge dining room table. BYOB if you'd like. Please post a comment below to let others know what you're bringing.

It's coming up on February 5-6th. There will also be a full day of Drupal training the day beforehand on February 4th.

Who's interested in a "Design for Drupal" conference in Los Angeles in February, 2011?

As one of DrupalCamp LA's lead organizers, my sense is that DrupalCamp LA has moved out of the realm of what a camp is and into the realm of large summits and conferences. I talked a little bit about this in a recent LA DrupalCast episode, and while I definitely thought DrupalCamp LA 2010 was a lot of fun and a moderately successful event, I think DrupalCamp LA occupies a strange place in the spectrum of camps, summits and cons.

If you haven't been to camps other than DrupalCamp LA or if you're wondering what this "Design for Drupal" stuff is, please bear with me and read the entire post and my comments below.
