Drupalcamp Success!

The first Drupalcamp UK was held over the weekend at the BBC Backstage in Manchester. It was a great success with a large number of visitors showing up for both days. Congratulations to Dan Smith for pulling the event together and keeping it going over the weekend.

It was great to put faces to names, and chat with developers from across the country.

I dipped my toe in to the world of presenting at this weekends Drupalcamp, giving a short 30 minute session on how to configure your server environment to work with Drupals Multisite ability.

The slides used in the session are now available on slideshare.net if you'd like to take a closer look at the command line output I demonstrated, or the Apache VirtualHost configuration format.

For the upcoming DrupalCamp UK we have designed some stress balls in the shape of the Druplicon to give away to all attendees.

They turned up today just in time for the 'camp, so we thought we'd share some action shots as the little Drupalicons invaded the Ixis office and servers.

For those unable to attend DrupalCamp UK we'll send out your very own Drupalicon to the first 5 people to shoot us a message via the contact form with their name and postal address.

Feedback appreciated, and we'll see (some of) you at DrupalCamp Manchester this coming weekend!

On the run up to DrupalCamp UK event in June I've been in contact with various book publishers to get some books for prizes. As a result we proudly present the first Sponsors of DrupalCamp UK. Both publishers have been extremely helpful and generous with their offerings of prizes and future discounts.

Drupalcamp Manchester

Next month sees the first Drupalcamp event being held at the BBC New Broadcasting House building on Oxford Road, Manchester. Perfectly located with in walking distance to train, bus, tram networks, as well as drinking establishments at the end of the day.

The weekend event spans the second week of June '09, so should be accessible to enough new and seasoned Drupal users and developers to visit. It's being organised by members of NWDUG - the North West Drupal User Group.

The format of a "camp" is based on a user generated conference — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants.
