The third annual Bay Area Drupal Camp will take place Saturday, October 17th and Sunday October 18th, 2009 on the UC Berkeley Campus in Berkeley, California.

BADCamp is an “un-conference” inspired by Barcamps, and other DrupalCamps. BADCamp is a free event, open to everyone of any skill level. Our goal is to built local community through sharing of knowledge and collaboration. So, come meet other Drupal enthusiasts, share ideas, get involved, learn, teach, and get away from your computer for a bit.

Time to start gathering ideas for 2009 BDUG meetings. Please edit this document to add your ideas for good session topics, and your name if you want to be involved with presenting it.

Update: Looks like we will meet on the first Thursday of December, since the last Thursday in November is Thanksgiving.

Our last BDUG meeting of 2008. It's been quite a year. Drupal 6 is now a solid product, with View & CCK releases, another win as Packets CMS of the year, and commercial support from Acquia. Enough to give everyone a warm glow. But we all still have work to do, and this month Jen Lampton and Chris Bryant will be leading us in a discussion about using Project Management Systems to get that work done.

Chris & Jen say:

At this month's meetup we plan to discuss project management systems. We'll cover what needs/requirements everyone has, review the existing tools & options, and define a rough blueprint of how to build a basic project management system in Drupal.

Let's recover from BADCamp with a discussion of what it takes to build a Wiki in Drupal. It can be done, but can it be done well?

We'll be meeting this Sunday, the 17th from 2:00p to 4:00p at Au Coquelet in Berkeley -

2000 University Ave
Berkeley, CA 94704
