Drupal Comes to Dallas -DrupalCamp set to Run in Dallas August 1-2, 2009

Drupal fever is hitting Dallas. Over the weekend of August 1st-2nd, Drupalers from all over the state of Texas will congregate at Improving Enterprises in Dallas to learn, share, and discuss all things Drupal. Organized by a group of Dallas area Drupal enthusiasts, DrupalCamp Dallas will feature two full days of sessions. Sessions will cover everything from structured presentations from local and national Drupal experts, to unstructured "Birds of a Feather" sessions, where people with similar interests form small groups to learn and collaborate.
This year, for the first ever Dallas DrupalCamp, the event will feature presentations from local Drupal experts like Ben Finklea, CEO of the Austin area Drupal search engine optimization company, Vollacci, and Tom McCracken President of Dallas area Drupal agency, LevelTen Interactive. Sessions plan to cover a wide range of Drupal oriented subjects from setting up a Drupal website for the first time to advanced optimization techniques and how to master niche subjects within the Drupal framework.
The camp will feature three different tracks to accommodate a range of skill sets. The Developer track is for Drupal users who are at an advanced level, and wish to learn more about the inner-workings of the Drupal platform, and how to best use it. The Webmaster track is for those who either know little about Drupal, or who are familiar enough with the platform to get around, but need help to do advanced tasks. The final track is comprised of free form sessions that encourages participation and collaboration. Affectionately referred to as "Birds of a Feather", these sessions provide the opportunity for anyone to speak on a subject, or for people to get help with their Drupal websites. This year's DrupalCamp will also provide attendees the opportunity to participate in the Drupal.org website redesign, with official Drupal.org redesign sessions.
DrupalCamp Dallas is organized by a team of local Drupal users and agency owners: Lee Raney, Jennifer Conley, Tom McCracken, David Hahn, Randall Knutson, Colin Alsheimer, Dustin Currie and Mark Sonnaubaum.
