DVC08 Wrap-Up — A Note of Gratitude

Posted May 20, 2008 — daveo | originally emailed to attendees

We're a few days past Drupal Camp Vancouver and we — Dave, Dale, and Ariane, your earnest organizers — want to say ‘Thanks!’ to everyone who sponsored, volunteered, presented, and otherwise helped out to make DCV08 an enjoyable and beneficial event. The vibe and the knowledge sharing resulted in some outstanding collaboration and compelling networking.

Highlights

As for me, I wanted three things for DCV08: 1) eco-friendly t-shirts; 2) a party with free beer; and 3) a very special guest Drupalist. While the special guest didn't happen, the success of the Fearless City code sprint made up for it. ‘Two outta three ain't bad.’

Share Your Thoughts

Please blog about what worked for you. What didn't fly? Highlights? Disappointments? Suggestions? Tag your posts ‘dcv08’ or ‘drupalcampvancouver’ for maximum handiness.

Thank the Sponsors

Many folks asked how we managed to put on a conference with tasty drinks, mighty sandwiches, and bamboo t-shirts for $20. The answer is the sponsors. Links and mentions in blog posts are a great way to say thanks for their support. See: /drupal-camp-vancouver-sponsors
