Date: May 9-10, 2008
Where: Friday sessions at SFU Wosk Centre for Dialouge (Hasting and Seymour), Saturday sessions at Workspace (21 Water St., Gastown)

Drupal Haus...
Okay just an awesome Idea that came to me the other night..
Why do we all collectively make others more rich by paying them over-inflated housing costs?
Can't we band together as drupallers! In our own house.
The ad reads.. 10 Awesome Drupal Enthusiasts seeks large house.
-In a central Vancouver location.
I'm thinking cheap rent, save like students.
And do house Projects, build a name and eventually pay rent with the money earned doing development work.
Yes this involves a lot of trust and freespirit, and I'm willing to do most of the work.. Who's with me.
Vancouver DrupalCamp this summer?
Hey all,
So a few of us were chatting after the meetup about the desire for a more extended Drupal geekout, and thinking about possibilities for a DrupalCamp in town this summer... Someone was saying that they thought there was one being organized for April, but didn't really know anything more about it. Does anyone know if this is true and if so who is organizing?
And if not, since the spring is already so jam-packed, I am wondering if it might be a better idea to organize one for a little later on, perhaps June-ish?
Info? Ideas? Input? Please post here!
