DrupalCamp

Hi all ,

We are looking at running a small DrupalCamp in November this year. It will help bring industry players and users together... We will focus on discussions and how to generally build a stronger local community moving forward.

One of the key tasks obviously is to find sponsorship for the event to fund Venue, Publicity, and so on. We also need to work on the website... I will update with a full task list as soon as we establish enough interest...

Please lets hear your thoughts...

Update: please post new session proposals to the http://2011.drupalcamptoronto.org site

Drupalcamp Toronto 2011 is happening on November 12th and 13th at the George Brown College campus.

The website will be up soon, but we're putting a call out for presenters now.

If past camps are any indication we typically have four or so different tacks at these events. The tracks are usually: Business, Advanced Development, Site Building and Design/Theming.

Hey folks, it's your friendly neighborhood DrupalCamp marketing writer here!

As I work on site copy, it's occurred to me that there could be some cool/interesting history and trivia about our community and its camps. I see that we have a wiki page for drupalcampnyc history (er...well, now I can't find it again...), but more a chronology.

THIS WEEK ONLY, we're inviting session proposals at http://drupalcampwny.org/ -- please paste your nice words together like the first batch of proposals http://drupalcampwny.org/program/sessions/proposed

We're inviting session proposals of ALL levels! And please, if you have more than one topic to speak on, create more than one proposal. It's a great way to turn some topics into panel discussions... if we don't know about each others' interests, we can't possibly collaborate. Get in there!

DrupalCamp Montreal is only a week away, and we’re busy making sure everything runs smoothly. We’ve got an exciting line up of presentations and keynote speakers planned for the weekend. Here are a list of last minute details to help get you in the Camp spirit:

Spread the Word!

There has been a question raised in developing a Drupal Camp in Portland as to whether speakers should have to pay to attend the event and it has been discussed here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/167784

I've got the Conference Organizing Distribution (which is D6) and a fusion-/skinr-friendly subtheme in place. We could use a little help building it out and (then) giving it a little theme love this week. Any takers??

I'm considering organizing a Drupal products summit some time this fall. The main purpose of the meeting would be to create a knowledge sharing platform for Drupal shops/individuals that are working on a product: anything built with Drupal that has a repeatable business model (can be specialized services for Drupal shops, distributions, applications, websites built with Drupal that target a certain market segment).

The main practical outcomes I hope to achieve with this meeting are:

• The creation of a workgroup that will build an ethical Drupal Application Store
• Increase of knowledge about lean startup methodologies in the Drupal community
• Strengthening the network of Drupal product companies and the creation of a mutual support community

Hello everyone,

Montreal's 4th annual DrupalCamp is open for registration at http://www.drupalcampmontreal.com. We are once again running and education track and are looking for session proposals.

This year's camp takes place between the 16th and 18th of September at the McIntyre Medical Building on the McGill University campus here in Montreal. Our Keynote speakers this year are Drupal 7 co-maintainer Angie 'webchick' Byron and HTML5 evangelist Jen Simmons. Gábor Hojtsy, the co-maintainer of Drupal 6 will also be leading a related internationalization code sprint running from the 14th through to the end of the camp. We expect to have more than 30 sessions running in simultaneous tracks as well as both free and paid training occurring on the Friday afternoon.

We're open any session topics that relate to education including Drupal as a CMS for higher-ed, Drupal as an LMS, strategies for deployment, scalability and support, etc.

If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask.

Many thanks,

Andrew Lindsay
McGill University
