DrupalCorn 2012 retrospective

Planning and executing an event for dozens or hundreds of people requires massive planning and organisation. On August 3-4, 2012 more than one hundred people gathered for the 2nd annual DrupalCorn Camp 2012 on the Iowa State University campus in Ames, Iowa. We had a grand time sharing knowledge and experience in numerous sessions, BoFs, a pre-camp training day, and a great party. There was a wedding, too ...

The organising team learned a lot, much of it the hard way. In the spirit of building on best practices in the community, we'd love to share with you what went right, what went wrong, and how we think it could be better next time (we're already planning DrupalCorn 2013!).

The Drupal Camp Kit

Part of what we think could help is the growing repository of knowledge and experience, in the Drupal Camp Kit. It has been collected, tested (a bit), and refined (needs more!) to make life easier for anyone interested in running a Drupal Camp.

We'll present some of the things to do or avoid when planning and running a camp, key concepts and resources contained in the kit, and where we think the kit needs to go next. Bring your input and questions, too.
