Drupal Camper Alert!

Prepare for two impending Drupal Camps - in Seattle, (Organized by the Seattle Drupal User Group), and in Alberta at the University of Lethbridge with Michael Warf at the helm.

You can participate by presenting, helping out or by sponsoring (AB, SEA) - Yes! join the sponsors of Drupal Camp Vancouver by "paying it forward" - the self-education of Drupalist is paramount to success!

Specifically, Seattle Drupal Camp seeks presenters to speak about:

• Views
• Panels 2
• jQuery
• Contributing Back (anything but code)
• Theming Views, Panels, and CCK
• SimpleTest

Robin Barre from CivicActions is your contact for signing on and making your knowledge known to the community.

I'll resist writing a lengthy treatise about how worthy these events will be for Drupal entusiasts and fotering community relations and instead provide a quick lowdown with details. Be sure to say "hi" to any RCS crew who make it - we are fairly decent folk ;-).

We had a good Drupal Camp Shanghai! The heavy rain on Sunday didn't stop the most active local Drupalers from getting together to enjoy this event. In all, over 60 people attended over 12 sessions and discussions.

Within the rooms you could see knowledge virally spreading throughout the attendees as well as connections being made by people from different companies and countries.
