After months of planning it is official:
On Thursday, June 24th, Drupalers from across the country are gathering together at the Arlington Central Library Google Map Here for a full day of DRUPAL LIBRARYCAMP.
We strategically planned the event right before the American Library Association's Annual Conference in DC. Event site here This has allowed people from very far away to join us for a smaller sized Drupal event before they dive into the whirlwind of activity with the ALA.

The issue of renaming Organic groups (OG) to Group was raised in several places, but it's probably a good idea to have it in a central place which is accessible to many.

There are very good reasons for renaming the module, but just as good to not renaming it. Following the suggested Drupal Code of Conduct (#DCOC):

When we are unsure, we ask for help

Recently, I've been working with the Drupal Association in determining the most effective ways that the association can help user groups organize local Drupal camps. One of the first thing we realized was that we didn't have any hard data on how camps were actually organized. We decided to create a survey for camp organizers to collect some data.

As our community grows, it is imperative that we preserve the what got us here. Namely, we keep Drupal a fun, welcoming, challenging, and fair place to play. IMO, we need to proactively state our shared ideals with respect to conduct. Think of this as coding standards for people :)

Our friends at Ubuntu have blazed a brilliant trail in this area. They use our CMS, and I propose that we use their Code of Conduct.

We're pleased to announce Git with Drupal 7, a one-day LA Drupal event featuring both a git bootcamp followed by a Drupal 7 code sprint. Git with D7 is being sponsored by Exaltation of Larks, Ninjitsu Web, This by Them, WebEnabled and Acquia.

Attendance is limited to 30 people (but we only have about 15 chairs, so please bring one if you can). RSVPs are required so be sure to reserve your spot by clicking the Sign up button below. Anyone who wants to attend the code sprint but not the prerequisite git bootcamp must contact the organizers in advance.

Join us online for the Git bootcamp!

To make this event as accessible as possible, we're broadcasting the bootcamp via WebEx conference at https://acquiawebinars.webex.com. Please see the official announcement on Drupal.org for more details.

During both the bootcamp and code sprint, we'll be gathered in the #drupal-la IRC channel and and all are welcome to join us. We also recorded the git bootcamp and posted the video online on blip.tv and on iTunes.

We have a very good start at DrupalCamp Timisoara 2010, with more than 150 participants already registered at conference. See the schedule here http://drupalcamp.ro/schedule and follow the live stream here http://drupalcamp.ro or at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/drupalcamp-timisoara-2010

On June 25 y 26, the Second DrupalCamp Centroamerica is taking place in Guatemala. This all-day event aims to actively form a community of professional drupalers from all Central American countries.

To "Come for the software, stay for the community." it has everything and not so cheesy as the current or the myriad others we figured during the years.
