barcampmilwaukee2

Planning for the second annual BarCamp in Milwaukee is well underway. BarCampMilwaukee2 is scheduled for October 13th and 14th. We've archived the original BarCampMilwaukee Wiki in favor of a Drupal powered site this time around (set up by yours truly).

I claimed a session called BarCampMilaukee.com in Ten Minutes. A bit of an exaggeration? sure. But that's how you get people at your session right. In all reality it didn't take long to set up the site, thanks to the power and flexibility of drupal.

Not to give the whole session away, but here's a brief outline:

• Wiki Install Profile
• CCK
• Views
• + a little bit of clicking-configuration type stuff
• fix bugs

That's really the power in where drupal's been headed the past six months. With very little custom code I was able to setup a functional (while not beautiful) site to organize a BarCamp.

There is already a bit of chatter on technorati about the event. It should be a great time. This year we can only accommodate 250 participants, so be sure to sign-up early. Next step for me is to compile a list of folks I'd like to see there, or like to meet (drupal ninjas -- I'm looking at you)...
