Barcamp
Drupal camps
Tomorrow is DrupalCamp Paris and 60 people signed up. Next week is DrupalCamp New York and 60 people signed up already. Two of my favorite cities in the world. Insane!
(Like a BarCamp, a DrupalCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference driven by its attendees. It is free and open for everyone but it has no visitors, only participants.)
30 days to Drupal festivities
In exactly 30 days we'll kick off DrupalCon Brussels. DrupalCon will host over 30 talks and tutorials by outstanding members of the Drupal community. It is a service for the Drupal community, by the Drupal community, and is open for everyone to join.
Furthermore, I'm speaking at EuroOSCON, we'll have a Drupal booth at EuroOSCON (we're an exhibitor taking part in their "Dot Org Day") and many of us will camp out at GovCamp Brussels and BarCamp Brussels.
If you want to join us, make sure to register for each of these events.
DrupalCon Brussels
Good news! The next Drupal conference (DrupalCon) will take place on September 22nd to 23rd in Brussels (Belgium), alongside Euro OSCON 2006, GovCamp 2006 and BarCamp Brussels. We setup a conference website at http://drupalcon.org/.
Now the dates are set and the venue is confirmed, we're ready to accept presentation proposals and registrations (and looking for additional sponsors).
Whether you are a Drupal professional or an enthusiastic user coming to find out more, we encourage you to join us in Brussels, and to rock out with the smartest Drupal developers, the best Drupal evangelists and top-notch Drupal consultants.
If you want to capture and absorb the passion and enthusiasm behind the Drupal project, this is the place to be. Ideas will fly back and forth. Knowledge will be shared. The Drupal Kool-Aid will be passed around, and the secret Drupal handshake will be taught.
BarCamp San Francisco
When we arrived at BarCamp San Francisco, Harry Slaughter was doing a presentation on Drupal.
Barcamp Brussels
On May 20, Peter Forret is hosting the first Belgian Barcamp: Barcamp Brussels. A Barcamp is an ad-hoc un-conference driven by its attendees. It is free and open for everyone but it has no visitors, only participants. Attendees must give a demo, a presentation, or help with one. It has no fixed agenda either. Things just happen, and in happening, cause other things to happen.
I attended two Barcamps so far and both have been a blast. That said, I might prepare two sessions for Barcamp Brussels:
- A brief presentation on Drupal.
- A discussion on photoblogging software.
After talking to Pieter Baert (co-founder of drieduizend.be) and Ine Dehandschutter (co-founder of photoblog.net and official photographer of Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt), I'd like to figure out what the ideal photoblogging software looks like. Being relatively new to photography and photoblogging, I'd like to meet other photographers at Barcamp to share how they (want to) manage their photos on their websites.
