DrupalCamp Fever continues
Transcript From Episode CMSW2009-08-10

This past weekend, August 8 and 9, Drupal enthusiasts gathered in CA for DrupalCamp LA. You’ll recognize some of the same folks we talked to at DrupalCamp Colorado in June – Platinum sponsors pingVision and acquia, and Gold sponsor Volacci. Other than these familiar names, the session offerings look completely unique.

Another event shooting for 200+ attendees with lots of out of state registrants is DrupalCamp Atlanta. This is the inaugural event for DrupalCamp Atlanta, is sponsored by the Atlanta Drupal User Group and is a one-day event on September 19th. Registration is free and lunch is included, thanks to generous sponsorship by MediaCurrent interactive solutions, Matrix, acquia, MailChimp, autotrader.com, Volacci, a small orange, Microsoft and CMS Website Services. Get involved or register at drupalcampatlanta.com.

And don’t forget DrupalCon Paris on Sept 1-5. You can find CMSWeekly coverage of DrupalCamp Colorado in June under the events tab of SDRNews.com.

Mediacurrent: Drupalcamp Atlanta Fever is in the Air!
Transcript From Episode CMSW2009-08-10

I might also note Drupalcamp LA in progress this week and have a look at some of the speakers there that you interviewed in Colorado. Whenever a group organizes a conference for the first-time there are a lot of unknowns – the phrase “if you build it will they come” is always in the back of your mind.

However, I am happy to report that the response so far to the inaugural Drupalcamp Atlanta has been just awesome – as I write this, we have 158 attendees, 15 sessions, 9 sponsors, 2 keynote speakers with strong Drupal credentials, and a passionate organizing committee. We’re setting a goal of trying to sell out at 250, which is the max capacity the venue can adequately hold.
