I wanted to kickstart the conversation for DrupalCamp indy 2011!
It seems that so many camps are planning WAY ahead and for good reason.
So here's my list of questions. At some point we may want to utilize a Wiki page for this but for now a discussion will do.
Where?
Last venue was a great start but we need to move on. IUPUI is a possibility. Who knows of others? The site of Indy Linux Fest was mentioned by some one. I'm open to that although the location is run down and out of the way.
Net?
We don't have to rely on the buildings net connection or Wifi. Where ever we have the event we need to know that we know it can handle the traffic OR look into the options available to pay for a temporary service as do many tech events these days.
Cost?
With so many annual camps and new ones starting up we may not get the $$ we got last time. Then again we might ROCK it. If the building costs us then that's really going to hurt the budget. I'm a bigger fan of the $5 or $10 camp then I used to be. I might even get talked into a $15 or $20. I think we set the tone last year that we can pull off a great camp. I believe it has established value now and I'm not as scared of charging for an event all about free software. ;-)
Team?
I expect the usual suspects will rise to the call. I'm also hoping to see some more help.
Let's get this ball rolling now and make the arrangements and partnerships we need in order to make DrupalCamp Indy another huge success!
