WHAT IS A DRUPALCAMP?

DrupalCamps are community sharing + training events for Drupal enthusiasts and newbies alike. Florida DrupalCamp is an attendee-driven, completely volunteer initiative. Most of the content will Drupal-specific, but there will also be presentations related to more general web technologies such as HTML5, JavaScript, and PHP.

WHY IS THE EVENT A "CAMP"?

Florida Drupalcamp is called a “camp” to emphasize the unconference style of the event. Unconferences are more casual than most conferences and are usually organized and attended by members of a local community. The name originates from BarCamp, a popular community-driven unconference. Please do not bring your tent :)

WHAT'S THE GOAL OF FLORIDA DRUPALCAMP?

Our mission and purpose behind organizing a Florida DrupalCamp is as follows:

  1. Learn and educate about Drupal and web development in general
  2. Provide networking opportunities for all of us

DO YOU HAVE A CODE OF CONDUCT POLICY?
