DrupalCon Paris: Early Bird registration now open

Posted by jpoesen on May 26, 2009 at 12:20am

Almost 3 months have passed since Bonnie and her team performed the ultimate party trick: materializing a 1400 people conference out of thin air.

In the meantime many of you have been organizing camps, launching client projects, training new developers, contributing new modules and crafting beautiful designs. You have been extending core, writing tests, attacking patch queues, reshaping D7 and madly sprinting to keep ahead of the impending code freeze.

You are awesome. Really. You are what drives the DrupalCon Paris team. You make us want to put together a DrupalCon to remember. All the hours we spend selecting the right wine, cheese and pastries and the nights away from our families hand-picking the perfect hotel rooms and apartments... it's all for you.

Because we love you.

Come check out what we have in store for you. The new paris2009.drupalcon.org is ready to take your orders. Be quick: the early bird ticket price isn't going to last forever...

For those of you who want to become a sponsor and help make this DrupalCon happen: have a look at the sponsorship opportunities and don't hesitate to contact us.

Early Bird price?

Posted by tgeller on May 26, 2009 at 1:46am

How long *does* the "Early Bird" price last? Until a certain date? Until NNN people have bought one?

Early Bird Price

Posted by matthewcates on May 26, 2009 at 1:11pm

Does the early bird price include the price of the flight or does it just cover DrupalCon Tickets?

Now that would be a deal!

Now that would be a deal!

Drupal 7 . . . the most commercial Drupal yet!
Drupal 7 . . . 1 2 3 3+ years in the making!

Mid June or earlier

Early Bird runs out mid June or when the first batch of tickets is sold out. Better be quick. :)

The new DrupalCon site looks nice!

Unfortunately, Paris is pretty far from Ottawa :(

Agreed, but come on...what better excuse do you need to come to Paris?

And.... !

Posted by mtopolov on May 27, 2009 at 12:16am

And it would be mucher more easier to convince your GF/Wife to come to Paris rather than a Drupal Con... :))))))

Day care

Posted by greg.harvey on May 27, 2009 at 12:31pm

My wife and I both want to attend - wondering how firm the Day Care options are? Don't want to arrive and find my wife or I have to spend half the conference babysitting!! =(

At the moment the website says "Some potential activities" and lists "creche" but the use of the word "potential" alarms me!
http://paris2009.drupalcon.org/practical/socialprogram

Itching to sign us both up, but need to know there will *definitely* be a creche first!

Yes.

Posted by jpoesen on May 27, 2009 at 7:42pm

Thanks for pointing out the site is still very vague about this.

In short: yes.

As we speak, the user profile fields are being updated to include family information. At some point we're going to close the option of indicating you want to bring your kids so we have a clear view of how many wee little 'uns to care for and what age groups we're talking about.

We'll announce this process very shortly and make a fuss so everyone is aware day care *will* be provided, as promised in DC.

Joeri.

Reg form: Number of kids defaults to 1

Posted by Troodon on June 1, 2009 at 9:02am

Hello,
Im not sure if it's intended but on the registration form (http://paris2009.drupalcon.org/user/register) the Number of Kids field (in Daycare) defaults to 1 rather than none. That might throw off your numbers a bit?

Thanks

Posted by jpoesen on June 1, 2009 at 11:43am

No, that was not intended. It's now corrected. Obviously it would throw off the stats quite a bit. Good catch!

At any rate we'll be contacting all the parents for a final confirmation on the number of kids they'll bring, their ages and specific needs.

Thanks
Joeri
