Drupal 7

Drupal 7 has cost enormous blood, sweat and tears. Now's the time for celebrating. And hey, there are the release parties. To combine this with marketing, there is something else we could do. The style of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q48gzc-sl_8 struck me.

So we will create something in the likes (only better, of course). This is a kickoff post to make you do the small videos that we cut into a big one at the end. Graciously, 300+ has offered to do the video editing and they are good at that.

The video will contain: Statements from you on why Drupal 7 is so great, and a big countdown that leads into people welcoming Drupal 7 like the new year on New Year's Eve.

Release Parties: the perfect occasion

We guess the release parties are the most appropriate space to whip out your mobile video recording device of any kind, and show us what you got. Working title: "Seven is seconds away".

This weekend, undpaul is proud to present the Drupal 7 Sprint Camp in Hannover in collaboration with the German Drupal Initiative. Note the absence of "code" in the name ;) We are happy to cover non-code topics to the same extent that we will be doing coding, of course.

From its announcement, the sprint has quickly been a sell-out success. The 40 available places were quickly taken without even a real announcement. A testament to the vividness and commitment of the Drupal community ;)

We will be sprinting at the Coworking Space Hannover this coming weekend on Sat/Sun 16/17 Oct. with an opening socializing event on Friday night. On the sprint days, we will be working in four groups: coding, marketing, documentation and translation. Each group has its own team lead to coordinate better and to have someone to speak to for the team members at all time. People that wanna participate remotely, can jump in IRC channel #d7sc this weekend. This channel will be german speaking but if we have a lot of english speaking participants, we will open another channel or use #drupal-contribute.
