DrupalCamp

With over 500 camp attendees and 60+ session proposals, us organizers of Drupal Camp LA needed a Drupal site that was built for organizers and attendees, with lessons learned from 3+ DrupalCons & 2+ DrupalCamps. Here is our formula for our awesome camp site.

"DrupalCampLA.com was built on Drupal 6 using core & contributed modules to handle event registration, sponsorship management, featured speakers, user bio's, and session proposals. The website features an attendee driven event schedule where members propose sessions and only registered members pick which sessions they'd like to see (in the BarCamp style). Planning the schedule for the day of events has been made flexible enough to allow organizers to maintain a master schedule with ease. Not to mention that all attendees get their own schedule view with the sessions they pick."

"The web site was based on the latest Drupal 6.x release and utilized many of the current generation modules such as CCK for content customization, imagefield and imagecache to handle imaging Views & custom theming built on Zen for content presentation." (A full list of the modules used is in the case study - http://drupal.org/node/519100 )

The download link is available in the case study post - http://drupal.org/node/519100 and has been made available by LA Drupal & This By Them.

Esta será la reunión previa al DrupalCamp Perú y SFD Perú 2009 así que es buena para calentar motores:

Videoconferencia

The inaugural Drupalcamp Atlanta is now open for registration, and will be held on Saturday, September 19th from 9am – 5pm on the beautiful campus of Kennesaw State University. Our mission and purpose is twofold: (1.) we want to educate people about Drupal and (2.) further evangelize Drupal within our geographic region.

DrupalCamp PDX 2009 will be hosted at NedSpace Old Town from October 9th through the 11th.

Melissa and Amye toured the facility yesterday, and the current plan is to operate the camp as an unconference.

The tentative schedule is as follows:

• Friday, October 9th: Initial gathering, discussion and scheduling of sessions and Drupal party extraordinaire
• Saturday, October 10th: All Drupal, all the time

DrupalCamp Dallas will be holding a Drupal.org redesign sprint during the camp - both days (Sat and Sun) will be half-day sprints. Drupal designers and developers who are interested in contributing to the drupal.org redesign project are welcome to get involved. Kathleen Murtagh, organizer for the drupal.org redesign sprint, will be there to help with questions and will be sending information beforehand to everyone who RSVP's. That information will also be posted on the website soon.

Drupal fever is hitting Dallas. Over the weekend of August 1st-2nd, Drupalers from all over the state of Texas will congregate at Improving Enterprises in Dallas to learn, share, and discuss all things Drupal. Organized by a group of Dallas area Drupal enthusiasts, DrupalCamp Dallas will feature two full days of sessions. Sessions will cover everything from structured presentations from local and national Drupal experts, to unstructured "Birds of a Feather" sessions, where people with similar interests form small groups to learn and collaborate.

A group of Brisbane Drupalers met today to discuss organizing our first DrupalCamp.

We are organising the camp for later this year, most likely in November.

Since we have a relatively small Drupal community here in Brisbane, compared to Sydney or Melbourne, we are hoping to attract/welcome interstate participants, as well as those coming from broader QLD.

Drupalero!

Estamos muy contentos con los resultados del Drupalcamp recientemente celebrado en Buenos Aires, el pasado jueves 25 de junio.
Asistieron muchos miembros de la comunidad y las charlas tuvieron muy buen nivel. Además aquellos que asistimos tuvimos la oportunidad de conocernos personalmente, lo cual ha sido muy grato.
Agradecemos especialmente a los sponsors, que verdaderamente hicieron posible el camp: Dotzero, empresa anfitriona del evento, Growing Venture Solutions, Santex América, Awebfactory y Colaborativa.net.

As Amye noted on the wiki, we're in search of a new venue for DrupalCamp. Anyone pursuing a venue for the camp, please tell us about it here.

I thought it might be a little easier than trying to track the Wiki page. I also added the ability to tag discussions, polls, etc. with topics to help us in organizing. I'm still exploring what I can do with this site, but using the topics should let us subscribe to feeds in the areas we're helping with. People should be able to subscribe or unsubscribe for e-mail notifications, too. Note the DrupalCamp tab at the top of the page so we won't have to scroll and search for all things DrupalCamp planning related.

As posted by Dries today, indeed.com tell us that Drupal jobs are on the rise and are outpacing Joomla and Wordpress by a massive margin. Yes, you are indeed in the right user group. This highlights why a DrupalCamp is so badly needed. Remember that we will be discussing holding a future DrupalCamp tomorrow night at the monthly DUG meet-up.
