As was announced today, we're planning an Ubercamp in and around Louisville, KY from July 25-27th. Folks who come down Thursday can also spend the day on Friday hacking away on Ubercart or other projects in the Ubercart office. This will be a pre-camp activity, with the official schedule starting in the late afternoon as we travel down to the Lake and get ready for an awesome weekend.
My stated goals in the news post were threefold: set the stage for future meetings, pass some knowledge around, and plan for the future. I'll add here that another goal would be to keep the gig as cheap as possible, especially with a lot of folks making the expensive trip to Drupalcon Szeged a month later. As such, depending on the level of response we get, we should be able to put folks up in our homes if you come in on Thursday night. Furthermore, we're just a few minutes from the airport (SDF - Standiford Field), so we can arrange to pick folks up who fly in Thurs./Fri. Pricing for the group will really just depend on gas to get down there, gas to run the boats on the Lake (especially if we can hook up some skiing/tubing
), and what kind of food/drinks we want to have.
We're about 99% certain the houseboat will be available at the Lake, so we can avoid renting cabins or anything. However, we're not entirely sure about a runabout for pulling folks. If too many people to fit on the boat RSVP, we'd be up for doing some actual camping around the Lake, too. Please let us know in this thread if you think you might attend or if you will attend and how many people you would bring. This will help us plan ahead for the travel and accommodations. Assuming we can lock this down quickly, we'll go ahead and set a price for the weekend.
Mike O'Connor will be co-coordinator of this event. I'd love to just be responsible for a short keynote/development roadmap presentation and spend the rest of my time enjoying your company and following Mike's lead. I'm sure we can get a tentative schedule worked out pretty quickly and have an idea for the types of topics we can cover in our time together. Word's not out yet on what the Camp Song and Camp Motto will be, but I'm sure Mike can dream up something appropriate.
