Background
Hi, I'm Noel Hidalgo and i'm an avid drupal user/political organizer/mechanic/attendie of unconferences. Last year we had a DIY Drupal/CivicSpace day after the Personal Democracy Conference (PDF). This year we are fortunate to have a whole weekend before the PDF to plan a similar event.
Event Info
13 - 14 May 2006
the weekend before the personal democracy forum; yes i know it's mother's day
My goal is to foster the following...
- Drupal Users - two days masticating on drupal (tracks: new users, theme, modules, civicrm, massmailing, etc.)
- Political Bloggers - a forum for NYC political bloggers to connect and discuss issues/business issues
I hope this will be an open and collaborative session involving many types of drupal users, political talkingheads and community activists.
What to do
- find location - we are looking for space in manhattan or brooklyn.
Using Amit's template space requirements are:
* At least 3-4 medium-sized rooms appropriate for discussions or presentations
* One or two large gathering spaces
* At least two bathrooms
* At least one shower
* The ability to house 100 people during the day, and 50 people overnight
* Internet access
* Free use of the site for an entire weekend
* easily accessibly by subwayÂ
* kitchen
- promotions - to spam all drupal/civicspace users who live in the NYC area or on east coast and anyone attending the PDF
- find individual and organizational sponsors
- add your item here ;)
