CivicActions

DrupalCamps help bring out creativity. This weekend I attended Vancouver's DrupalCamp, and I really enjoyed myself. On top of it, I am always amazed by talking with others at these types of events. Other developers who I think really know their stuff said to me, "The camps are great. They remind of how much more I need to learn." I thought they knew it all!

Pack your bags, its summer time, and that means time for Drupal Camp!

CivicActions will be participating in and sponsoring two upcoming Drupal Camps, one in Seattle (the second annual DrupalCampSeattle on June 29th, and the other in New York City on July 14th.)

I'll be one of the "camp counselors" in Seattle, and Arthur and Ethan will be heading down to New York to talk about MediaMover and some other cool modules we've been working on recently.

CivicActions is co-sponsoring Drupal Camp Seattle with Vancouver Drupal ASP Bryght and Rain City Studios (also based in Vancouver) on Wednesday and Thursday, June 28, 29 at the Richard Hugo House.

I'll be facilitating and co-facilitating sessions for non-coders on e-campaigning with Drupal, boot-strapping your site with Drupal as a non-coder, CiviCRM for power users and a quick tour of the views module.

Drupal Camp NYC will be an opportunity of people interested in Drupal and developers interested in learning to develop sites with drupal to get together and learn from each other.

Deanna Zandt (who we work with on the Jim Hightower sites) pointed out that Micah Sifry referenced JimHightower.com along with a number of other Drupal sites over on the PDF Blog along with DrupalCampNYC which we are sponsoring and helping to organize along with Noel Hidalgo (the man on the ground) and some other folks.

The first official Drupal-Camp will be held on April 1 & 2, 2006 in San Francisco. This intensive two day Drupal training program will focus on Drupal theme development with the PHP Template Theme Engine. Jeff Robbins from Lullabot will lead the training.

The two-day workshop will be open to 10-15 developers who are experienced in XHTML/CSS web design. The training will focus on creating fully featured Drupal sites that are highly customized.
