Hey folks,
I've been chatting with Jason Hill a bit about this and he encouraged me to post here. I'd like to encourage the Utah group to have a Drupalcamp this summer.
If you don't already know, the goal of Drupalcamps is twofold: first it provides a learning opportunity for people new to Drupal and second it provides a place where experienced Drupallers can meet in person to share ideas.
I've got a few folks I know from Colorado who are excited to drive over and help give presentations. I've got verbal agreement to attend and present from Randy Fay, Lindsay Ogden, Brad Bowman, Matt Kleve, John Fiala and, of course, me. That should potentially provide sessions on Git, Ahah, Examples module, Theming, Favorite Modules, Image handling, Fields in Drupal 7, Security, and SEO.
The main things you'll need are
1. someone local and willing to help organize
2. some venue for the camp.
I think a target of 50 people is a reasonable number. Some candidate spaces would be college campuses or libraries.
Sponsors, food, and everything else is secondary to getting a space to hold the camp and is usually easy to get once a venue is together.
So, what do you think? Is there interest in a Utah camp? Does someone have access to a venue that will hold 50 people?
