Want a ride to Seattle for Drupal Camp? I'm offering to drive. I have a small car, but if there are enough people going, I can secure a nice reliable minivan for a few days. Let me know. :)

In just two weeks, Drupal designers and developers from Alberta, BC, PEI & Montana will gather at the University of Lethbridge for Drupal Camp Alberta 2008.

In the past week - we secured our speakers & sponsors, opened registration and are expecting approx 100 attendees - many of who are holding out on registration right now :-)

If you haven't registered already, please take the time to sign up - your commitment of $30 gets you in for two days, provides you a beer, some food, and a shirt - pretty good deal, and accessible to students, and those without luxury expense accounts.

Much has happened over the past week that I'd like to share:

1. We dropped the sponsor rates, due to the generosity of the University of Lethbridge - they are providing top - rate facilities that dropped our facility budget a ton. We will be holding our workshops at the University's Health & Wellness Facilities in a beautiful lecture theatre and three breakout rooms.
   
   

2. The stand up guys at Drupal Camp Vancouver committed some surplus cash they hand on hand from their camp. What a bunch of solid guys - this helps the short term cashflow a ton!

3. We've decided on a t-shirt design. Breaking from tradition, we designed a shirt that follows fashion trends a little closer than Drupal trends, but we think we'll be OK (Drupal Camp, Boot Camp, Military Crest - you get the connection.
   

4. Accomodation at the University Student housing is still just $40 / person. They run it like a hotel (with towel service, etc.) in the summer months.

5. Speakers showed up! We've got a great lineup ranging from a 300 Drupal Multi-Site Installation Case Study, to the Services Module - by the Module maintainer himself! We've got a talk for everybody - Designers and Business types should get equal benefit from Jess McMullin's testing & taxonomy talk - as well as my theming how-to. Newbies will get a foothold on Drupal vs. Joomla! vs. CakePHP from Daniel @ image X, and developers will dive into google maps & new module overviews equally well.

6. We've got a code sprint recipient! Amanda Stepenko (Olympic Bobseld Hopeful) is looking for a site to raise sponsor awareness. I will create the photoshop mockup for my Zen subtheming talk, and together at the conference the codesprint participants will bring the site to life!

7. Birds of a Feather sessions, Networking night, Track, Gym, Hiking, Art Gallery & More at the venue.

Register today, and you'll be guaranteed a shirt (first 50 attendees!), our second run might not arrive on time.

SEE YOU THERE, Please blog, twitter, email, nudge - anything you can to do help evangelize http://www.drupalcampalberta.org!
