DrupalCamp

We've set up an event node here on g.d.o for people to signup for the seattle drupalcamp. All information will eventually be posted on this node.

Here is the short of it (as you may know):
June 27, 28 10am to 5pm
Youngstown Arts Center (site of last year's camp), its about 5 miles south of downtown.

Find out more and signup, space is limited right now to 80 people.

The big day is almost here and last I checked, after cleaning up our database, there is just one spot left. To think I thought a cap might not needed and that at most we'd get 50 or 60. Amazing!

Anyway, WE NEED HELP. As you know this is all run by volunteers and we will need more volunteers on the day, to do the following:

1. Set-up on Friday night
2. Watching the front door (it is a locked door) in 1-hour shifts all day
3. Working the registration desk (check if registered, then give nametag) in 1-hour shifts all day
4. Cleanup and tear-down Saturday evening.

All help greatly appreciated and very much needed. Please reply here to volunteer for anything, no matter if it's just and hour or two. It is all going to be a huge help. Be sure to tell me if your user name here matches your user name for DrupalCampPDX 2008. Also, please mention the areas you can help with (specify number/s) and for how many hours. Or alternatively, I can give you access to our volunteer Google doc (you may need a Google email) and you can fill in what you want to help with.

DrupalCamp is coming to Bangkok!

We will hold the first-ever DrupalCamp in Thailand on Saturday, May 24th, at the conference facilities of Inet, on the 13th floor of the Thai Summit Tower, Petchaburi Road, just east of the Ratchadaphisek / Asoke intersection.

We will also be running a full-day "Intro to Drupal" track that will cover everything from setting up a basic install to intermediate skills of customizing with modules, CCK and Views.

There are two Drupal Camp Events open to All Comers. Regardless of whether or not you're attending Drupal Camp, please check out these events!

Per my previous post, if you want to come to DrupalCampPDX 2008 then you need to sign up AND register at the DrupalCampPDX 2008 site ASAP. It looks like there are only 35 spots left. We will be promoting ourselves a bit this weekend at BarCamp and we want to be sure you group members get signed up first. Further, if you sign up and then realize you can't make it, please let us know so that we can free a spot up, if need be. Thanks and looking forward to seeing all of you there.

I've got two ideas of Seattle DrupalCamp logos in need of a designer.

One is for a button, and the other possibly for a shirt. If you've got the skillz, drop a note here or send me an email directly (through the contact tab) and we'll talk.

If you are interested in attending BU Drupal BootCamp on this Friday, May 2nd, 2008 and would like lunch to be provided (free), we need you to sign up by 4:00 pm CST at http://slane.bradley.edu/drupalbootcamp/. If you have particular dietary needs, please contact Steven Merrill or myself so that we can make sure there is something for you to eat.

This call is just for people who would like lunch provided. After this afternoon you can still sign up and attend the event -- we just can't guarantee there will be any food for you -- but campustown is literally just across the street and has a number of different (cheap) food options.

Thanks!

Drupal Camp Vancouver marches forward and nows your chance to sign-up as a speaker or participant!

Drupal Camp Vancouver is confirmed for Friday May 9 and Saturday May 10 in Gastown Vancouver. We couldn't get the same location for two days, so Friday is at the SFU Wosk Centre for Dialog and Saturday is at Workspace.

We have a nice, shiny new logo thanks to Colin Calnan:

The Seattle Drupal Users Group is organizing a DrupalCamp for this summer. I'm in contact with a local university where we would like to host the event. The university is requesting that we exist as an actual nonprofit entity and that we have liability insurance. Has anyone else come across these issues before? Can the Drupal Association help here? I have contact the Drupal Association, and I'm awaiting their response, but I thought I might post here as well. Any thoughts or hints would be greatly appreciated? Is it time for our DUG to become a nonprofit?
