DrupalconParis

This message is from Alban Picard. I already asked for an English version for this too:

Je suis à la recherche d'un développeur maitrisant parfaitement la communication entre une interface Flash et Drupal (utilisé dans ce cas comme un backoffice).
Quelques exemples de projets que nous (agence HUB. ID & DESIGN - www.hub-id.com) réalisons de cette manière :

http://www.ladresse-hotel.com
http://www.helenedesaintlager.com
http://grazia.hub-id.com
http://www.blacklemon.net

A couple of people asked when the videos will be up:
Kristof and his team are working on it, as there were some changes for uploading on archive.org
They should all be up by end of this week.

And another couple of people asked whom to send presentation material to:
That would also be Kristof and his team. But, if you do not have his contacts, please send it to me and I will forward.

Cheers!

I took it all with me, just in case :-)

Here is the list with all the items in the black box.

• Black computer bag (I have a name and an address attached to it)
• iphone/pod cable, marked logic3

So all job seekers and potential new employers will meet on the 3rd of September in the Honnorat room of the DrupalCon venue. What can you do in the mean time?

For starters, you should prepare your "30 seconds elevator pitch".

Excusez-moi? Elevator Pitch? C'est quoi?
An elevator pitch is simply a thirty second talk why employers should hire you. Format and method of delivery are totally up to you. The only rule is that it should not last more than 30 seconds. Don't fail or...

After a hard day of learning, listening, speaking, hacking, and possibly all of the above for some, it's time to relax.

We've got some healthy-sporty things lined up for you (link), but for those who want to dive straight into the Parisian night-life, here's little jump-start: we're offering a different starting place each night.

Everyone is free to join us, split up or find one of the other Drupal parties that are undoubtedly being organized.

Tuesday: Jardins de Luxembourg starting at 19:00

we meet here at the main entrance by the RER station... then you can follow on twitter

I just received a lot of emails about ticket transfers and changing names.

From now on, if tickets are being transferred, you have to sort it out among the seller and buyer (as I do not have the time anymore to do so, nor will it be on the badges).

So for the ticket that you will get: if your ticket has been transferred, please use the sellers ticket and name.
Thank you

The inimitable Crell will be presenting Drupal Software Design Patterns September 2, 2009 - 16:10 - 17:00 At the "La Galerie" room. (instead of "How to Eat 15 Drupal Sites in 90 Minutes")

We have two Drupal Angels coming to the DrupalCon.
They will be easily recognisable (blue shirt with wings!) and will answer questions to get you from zero to hero!

For the past two days, Chris has been cycling from London to DrupalCon to raise money for the Meningitis Trust and will be arriving in Paris on Sunday 30th. He'll be leaving Gournay-en-Bray on Sunday morning (30th August) and hoping to complete the 90km to Paris to arrive at the Eiffel Tower by late afternoon.

If you'd like to join him at any stage, you can contact him via Twitter (http://twitter.com/matason) or http://menusandblocks.co.uk/contact.

Chris has so far raised an amazing £525 (€598, $855). If you'd like to contribute, visit http://www.justgiving.com/le-tour-de-drupal/.

Since his last visit to the DrupalCamp in Stockholm, the Druplicon fell in love with this beautiful city and stayed until now...until he received a sudden skype call reminding him of the DrupalCon and that it is "oh" so soon!
The Druplicon packs in a hurry and gets his blueberry-butt on the road. The little twist? He needs to get a pair of scissors!

And the Noctilien for the night travels to save you a penny by not using taxis

Update 1: due to popular demand we are relocating the event to La Cantine: 151, passage Montmartre, Passage des Panoramas, 75002 Paris, France, and ordering much more Ice Cream

Update 2: Isabell will cause bodily harm (and I will be holding persons down) to volunteers who are supposed to be at the venue and decide to show up at the sprint.

The evening before the Conference on the 31st of august and just hours before the Drupal 7 code freeze come and join us for the last stretch code freeze... and in the tradition of pre-drupal-code-freeze-sprints there will of course be ice cream.

The code, UX and doc sprint will be held at La Cantine Co-Working space, Grands Boulevards metro station (AF83 is still bring the Ice cream :) ), under the orchestration of Damien Tournoud and starting at 5pm.

If you plan to come just edit the wiki page here and add your name to the list so we can know how many gallons of ice cream we should have...

Over the weekend of August 28—29 another big Drupal event will gather Drupallers in Kyiv, Ukraine, for gaining and sharing knowledge, as well as discussing all Drupal related topics.

The demand for tickets to attend Drupalcon over the past few weeks has been overwhelming. We have heard you cries, and have decided to offer a limited number of tickets and sponsorship opportunities for people who did not get to attend!

Here is how you or your company can still attend Drupalcon Paris:

The first draft of the schedule has been published yesterday.
The tracks design and development are still missing and rooms need to be attributed as well. So this is not the final schedule, but you know already which sessions have been selected so far.

We will also add a list of selected sessions, that can be BoF sessions.

For the first draft of the schedule, have a look here.
