Yay! I would like to help organize (and possibly speak at it) but I cannot be the lead or bottom-liner at this time.

Definitely game for helping to organize and sponsoring (and possibly get job to sponsor). Not lead or speaker interested because I don't feel taht would be appropriate for me to do.

I am up for helping market the event through social media accounts I have access to (A11yTalks, simplytest.me, DrupalCoffeeExchange, and various DrupalCamps (New Jersey, BADCamp, Florida DrupalCamp, Asheville, and NYC)

I can also push my organization to sponsor (Kanopi Studios)

It was mentioned during last week's DD&I meeting that the camp was being postponed until August, might someone be able to confirm that so others can update the site, issues, etc? Thank you.
