Organizing a DrupalCamp

A DrupalCamp is a one- to two-day event that focuses on Drupal, and brings together people from a geographical region. The goals are:

• knowledge sharing -- getting the community together to help each other learn
• increasing awareness of the Drupal community and helping it grow

The term "Camp" comes from Barcamp, which is a self-organized informal non-conference, and gets across the idea that it doesn't need to be fancy. They take a bit of organizing, but in general it’s pretty easy to run a camp. Generally a camp is an extension of a meetup -- you'll have a hard time holding an effective camp unless you have a strong meetup already occurring in your area.

The pages in this section will explain how to do it, based on the experience of numerous DrupalCamp organizers, and the Event Organizers Working Group.
