Finland

It's DrupalCamp time again in Helsinki! Helsinki has already hosted Drupal Business Days this year and this event will target much more technical audience. The event will be free and more info will be available at http://drupalcamp.fi/ soon.

Who is it for?
Managers/owners from any organization or business unit who's main activity is Drupal (more than 70% Drupal) freelancers and one man companies are very welcome. This meeting will focus on the specific issues and opportunities that Drupal decision makers face when setting the strategy for their company. We are limiting the amount of people per company to ensure an interactive meeting on which all participants can get to know all other participants.

Why should you attend
Become part of a European network of Drupal shops that want to work together

DrupalCamp Kyiv 2011 will take place on June 3-4, 2010 in Kyiv, in an i-klass venue at Lavrskaya st., 16 (former Ivan Mazepa, 34). Our goal is to make this event a real festival for drupallers by adding a pinch of organization and preserving a friendly and informal atmosphere of previous conferences.

So, two days, four streams, six reports and presentations in each amount to about 50 free topics. In addition, this time we hope to make our schedule more hectic by pre-determining the reports. One of the streams will fully belong to English-speaking guests, and besides, we’ll have a special guest ;)

Just like last time, the main conference will be preceded with a series of paid trainings (presumably, one basic and one advanced) that will allow to better prepare for the main event.

But that's not all. This time there will be two special events – translators’ sprint and code-sprint, where everyone can make their contribution to Drupal.

Previous camp experience shows that a solid level of event’s organization requires substantial investments, that’s why this time we are forced to introduce fee for participating in the camp. We hope that a symbolic price of 100 UAH (about 12 USD for early registration) won’t stop you from attending such a rare event. You can pay for participation through the website, as well as on the day of the conference (but the price will be considerably higher).

And, of course, there is no way we can do it without our sponsors - this year we decided to make the possibility of sponsorship much more affordable for everyone by reducing the amount of contribution by almost 4 times! For the terms of sponsorship please visit the sponsor page.

Participants and sponsors are welcomed. To get more information please visit our website http://camp11.drupal.ua/.

The event is the first big meetup in Donetsk of the local Drupal community. It will gather Drupal professionals and newcomers. The formal part will be held in Donetsk National Technical University and the informal one in the foobar().

Only local images are allowed.

Dette er en gammel nyhet, men den er god: Nordsamisk er lagt inn på oversettelsestjeneren, så hvis du vil bidra til denne oversettelsen har du et bra verktøy. For å bidra, gå til http://localize.drupal.org/languages/se og meld deg inn i gruppa.

Nordsamisk er det største av de samiske språkene, og snakkes i Norge, Sverige og Finland. Det har ca 21 000 brukere. (Kilde: Wikipedia)

And repeated in English, since Norwegian might not be too easy to understand for all Finns:

The first European open event concentrating on the business side of Drupal is held from 26th to 27th of May 2011. On 25th of May we organize an additional day, which is by-invitation-only. The event is intended for managers, shop owners, customers, project managers, sales people, freelancers and generally everybody interested in non-technical elements in Drupal ecosystem. The event is also interesting for people doing business in open source and software business in general. Even though we focus on Drupal almost all topics are suitable for much wider audience as well.

We will arrange two annual camps in Helsinki. One is at end of May and another at end of November. Spring camp will be bigger one and more international, fall is smaller and larger portion of sessions are in Finnish. Save the date, more details will follow on drupalcamp.fi.

Please note that the list of cities from http://groups.drupal.org/node/26241 (as per the BoF in Paris) is just a list of possible suggestions. Please see the draft document that has been proposed for city selection guidelines: http://groups.drupal.org/node/27246

The goal is to publish that document at the end of this week (after incorporating feedback from the community) and to start receiving city proposals immediately after that. Since we need to have recommendations to give to the Drupal Association by October 15 the proposal phase will have to be short. The proposal phase will probably end October 1. After that we will have the proposals reviewed by the events agency to gather their feedback in time for the October 15 deadline.

If you want DrupalCon in your city/country in 2010 please review the document and add your feedback!

Over the weekend of August 28—29 another big Drupal event will gather Drupallers in Kyiv, Ukraine, for gaining and sharing knowledge, as well as discussing all Drupal related topics.

It is for a good cause, and Drupal is part of it.

The Contests

There are two.

So be sure for which one you are submitting your proposal, as the requirements vary.

Since last night, PayPal refused to let you go through with your registrations.

It is fixed now, and you can go ahead with the Early Birds.
Due to this delay, we add one day to the deadline, which is now July 13th.

This also means, that the voting on sessions will be prolonged one day (same deadline), as otherwise you did not have a chance to vote.

The session proposals are done and ready.

Now you still have some time to be able to vote on them, so we can see which sessions are on the top of your lists and plan the schedule accordingly.

Get busy using your right to vote again, as this is your event!

Deadline will be Sunday, 12th July

Here is how you do it (if you don't know already):

First of all a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has helped us so far with preparing, organizing and spreading the word about DrupalCon Paris 2009, all over Europe and even internationally.

This is your event! You are the community. You are the ones who represent Drupal and we want to have you, the representatives, join us in Paris.
So we need your help to spread the word even "louder" and make the DrupalCon even more Drupalicious, for you.

Because:
