What types of drupalers should attend this event? Is there going to be tutorials? I'd love to start meeting with other drupal users and developers.

It's much better than mine was. ;)

Still, the generic answer is that the conference is created by its participants. If you want to see a certain type of session, your best option is to organise or coordinate it yourself. Not every session must be a projector lecture: you can have round-table discussions, code corners, show and tell, etc.

OSCMS 2006 in Vancouver had plenty of Drupal developers and companies but also people who just use Drupal and are curious. And also, the social interaction is a huge bonus in events like this.

I've spoken with people of all skill levels and interests who have attended past Drupalcons. These events are significant and make a huge difference for the people who attend. All attendees have something to learn, to gain, and to share.

Why not have the next DrupalCon in Second Life? :-)

I haven't used Second Life for some time now, but that's not a bad idea.

That's really nice of you. There's a forum specifically for ride sharing information: http://2007.oscms-summit.org/forum/34

How about a ride from Israel? :-P

lol I'll pick you up at 5.

Why is the same site accessible through http://2006.oscms-summit.org?

Oops...? :-)

Anyway, I'm thinking of coming. If I do, it will be my first Drupal event ever!

Hey, the login seems to have died on the OSCMS site. There's no contact link to inform the developers. Anyone know who's responsible for the site?

Try it again, and it should work. :)

Doesn't work for me

Anyone know whats going on with the site? I can't register...there is no link to create a username/passwd

and the registration page gives me a 404

sepeck’s picture

it's the Login/Register link. Top of the column, second from the right. Failing that, it's a Drupal site so http://2007.oscms-summit.org/user works for me. Though you may be running into this

We've gotten higher than expected participation, and are temporarily putting registration on hold. Should be open again in a day or so.

jpsalter’s picture

How about putting that fact on the front page of the website?

jbhan’s picture

its just not very pronounced...buried in the gray/blue block, 2nd paragraph down.

Anyone know if registrations are going to re-open? Perhaps if enough folks cancel their existing registrations? Registrations are now closed, so I'm wondering if there's any way I can still attend.

elasater’s picture

Is there the possibility of having a wait list we can at least sign up on?

I got approval to go, started travel arrangements and by the time I went to register, it was closed (it was open one minute and closed the next!). Now I'm sitting on reservations that need to be canceled soon. As someone new to Drupal, I would very much love the chance to learn more.
