Two NYC Summer Drupal Events

There are two exciting and unique NYC Drupal events this summer. With over 2,000 local community members, the NYC Drupal group is one of the largest and most diverse Drupal user groups, and this summer’s events reflect that diversity.

The purpose of this post is to promote both summer NYC Drupal events and describe the key differences between the two:

Both events:

• Have a strong community feel

DCNYC11 will take place THIS Saturday, June 23 at 9 AM in its long-time home at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn. The address is 6 Metrotech Center, which is on Jay Street. The camp will be held entirely in Rogers Hall/The Jacobs Building as shown on this map http://www.poly.edu/sites/polyproto.poly.edu/files/map.png

You can take public transportation to easily arrive at POLY via the Jay Street/Metrotech subway stop (A,C,F or R). More exact directions can be found at

We're stoked to announce that the inaugural NYC Camp will be occurring this summer from July 20 to 22, 2012 at Columbia University, Faculty House.

This mini-con will be an epic weekend of Drupal, including:

• Beginner Drupal Bootcamp training on Friday,
• Sessions Saturday and on Sunday morning (focusing on advanced content), and
• An afternoon of Drupal contribution and sprints on Sunday afternoon.

Attendee registration will be free of charge and open at http://www.nyccamp.org on Friday, June 1.

We are proud to announce DrupalCorn Camp 2012 to be held on the Iowa State University campus in Ames on August 3-4, 2012. If you are an open source enthusiast, Drupal designer, hacker, geek, Drupal developer, UI expert, IT manager, or you just want to find out what this Drupal thing is, this conference is for you!

Yesterday http://drupal.org/node/1597730 was added as an initiative to get the majority of the File Entity (http://drupal.org/project/file_entity) module into Drupal 8 Core.

This is a large task and there is still a lot of work needed between now and the Drupal 8 feature Freeze on December 1st.

The short story

Come and help us perfect and implement the hot new mobile interface design in Drupal 8. Try the prototype on your phone. Also, go to the issue queue.

The long story

Over the past six months we've been working on designing the experience of getting to where you want within Drupal's admin interface.

Goal

The goal of the Drupal Ladder initiative is to get 1% of active users on drupal.org to contribute to Drupal core by 2014 by organizing "learn sprints" and "issue sprints" at Drupal User Group meetups, camps and conferences.

Ladder

"Drupal Ladder" is the new name for this initiative. It had previously been called "Learn Drupal," but this led to a lot of confusion: many people assumed that the goal was to help new users learn how to use Drupal, though the goal is actually to get more users to contribute to Drupal.

It is only one month to the European Drupal event you cannot afford to miss: the Drupal Developer Days Barcelona.

We have great news for you because we finished the final program and we made up our mind (finally) about our scholarships.

Program finished

We would like to thank everybody for submitting 34 the amazing session proposals. Although we had a difficult time choosing the sessions, the great proposals made it easy to come up with a program bursting with all that is hot and happening in the Drupal universe.
Checkout the 34 sessions that made it to the final program. Besides sessions you will be able to attend sprints and of course there will be enough room for BOFs too.
We're opening the event with an Open Space activity on Friday at 4pm, find more details in here.

Scholarship program

Our scholarship program provides financial support for Drupal developers, who would otherwise not be able to attend, so that they can participate in the Drupal Developer Days.

We are very happy to announce the names of the five attendees that will receive these scholarships.

Sponsors

We like to thank our gold sponsors Node One and Omega8.cc for making this event possible.

Do like them and help us rock Barcelona by becoming sponsor of the Drupal Developer Days Barcelona. Find the details of the different sponsorship levels and the great companies that already have confirmed their support on the website.

We have over 150 registered attendees now so there is plenty of room for more. For a modest 25 EUR entrance fee we serve you an action packed program as well as coffee & biscuits.

It’s another year and you know what that means — it’s time to start thinking about getting together with your friends, partners-in-crime, and co-workers from Ohio and beyond at Drupal Camp Ohio.

This year’s Drupal Camp Ohio, in partnership with the Ohio State University, will take place over 2 days: November 30 and December 1, 2012, returning to the Nationwide and Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H at The Ohio State University.
