Also, we need some volunteers with cameras/webcams to record the sessions, and broadcast live for DrupalTV ( http://drupal.org/tv ) Robin On 8/3/07, Dries Buytaert <dries.buytaert@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello all,
as you know, DrupalCon Barcelona takes place next month! Yep, that's next month already. :)
We have room for a big venue for 4 days with at least 3 parallel tracks. If we aim for 6 1-hour sessions per room per day, we can host 72 sessions in total. I believe we actually have the room to organize more than 3 parallel tracks.
Anyway, on http://drupalcon.org there are currently 22 proposed presentations (see http://barcelona2007.drupalcon.org/sessions), which means we are about 50 presentations short. *gasp* Hence, I'd like to invite you to submit your presentation proposals -- login at drupalcon.org and go to the "create content" page. We'll probably communicate a deadline for such proposals relatively soon -- at one point we need to compile a conference program as it helps attract attendees. You know how this works. :)
If you've never been to a DrupalCon before -- don't be afraid to present. Everyone is encouraged to participate and present, and all sorts of presentations are welcomed. These can include deeply technical presentations ("Drupal 6 menu system internals"), fun presentations ("How to trick Dries in committing your patch?", "A history lesson in Drupal flamewars"), tutorial style presentations ("How to contribute patches", "Theming Drupal", "Drupal in education"), beginner sessions ("An overview of the best Drupal modules"), brainstorm sessions ("How could we make Drupal easier to use?", "How could we make Drupal easier to theme?"), panel discussions ("How to run a successful Drupal company?"), showcases ("How we built site ABC for company DEF"), you name it. We'll have a mixed audience (prospects, beginners and experts) so we need to cater for all those people.
So, give it some thought, and help us compile a compelling program. Feel free to swap ideas on the mailing list or to request certain presentations. Somewhere next week, I'll move this thread to drupal.org along with additional details. It would be great to have more than 22 presentations by then ...
Thanks all,
