Michigan Drupal Summer Minicamp

We are really excited about our June Meetup, June will be a bit different for a couple of reasons. We are going to be celebrating the opening of Commerce Guys’ new office in Ann Arbor by holding our meetup there for June. This will also allow for extended hours with food and drinks onsite as well as space to breakup into four “official” sessions total plus space for breakout conversations if needed. This also marks the 6 month mark
since Drupalcamp Michigan, would be a great time to discuss the idea of a second camp in 6 months.

We welcome anybody new to Drupal to those more advanced, there will be plenty of great content and conversation.

    Hey Guys,

    I was talking to someone about a git deployment that allows the end user to deploy their code using a singular git push that makes sure there are no issues on the server side (without having to log in and pull). I read this and thought about that conversation -- maybe there are some take aways here:

    I learned a lot about Git and responsive design with Omega and got to hang out with my "Shifting Code" gang & others including Mike O'Connor, Tim Hill & Alex Fisher. The more I learn about Drupal the more I like it including the community.

    It would be helpful if the projector screens could be higher to be able to see the content better.

    Great presentations and format. I'm very happy that there is such a supportive community for Drupal and open source in general. It was fun to meet others with the same interest.

    Amazing meetup. Thanks goes out to everyone: Alex, Commerce Guys.....

    Aaron thanks for answering few beginner Drupal question and helping me out.

    Rob, the presentation was great...a lot of useful information for less than an hour presentation.

    I wish I was able to hear Alex over at the advanced Drupal side, but hopefully there will be another camp soon.

    Thank You everyone again.

    This summer camp was well organized. The presenters were excellent! I just wish there was more time to cover more. :-) Both presenters that I listened too ran out of time, so their presentations were cut a little short. But what they did cover was awesome! I can't wait for the next event! :-)

  • Tina Blair-Matter

    This was an awesome meetup! The location is perfect for hosting events like this. Thank-you Commerce Guys for hosting this amazing event. I'm looking forward to many more like this. :-)

    Excellent job!

    My only regret, as always, is it wasn't long enough and I do look forward in the next one, sooner than later.

    Again, hat's off to all!!!

    Great presentations and great venue! As always it was nice to see familiar faces along with many new faces. Looking forward to the next Drupal Minicamp ;)

  • Allan Aylard

    Very good content in the seminars.

    June 7

  • Paula Loop

    It was great and I know it was a minicamp, but the sessions were very short. It might be better to have the option for 1 longer in-depth session for newbies who might need more instruction. Other than the shortness and rush to get through information, it was very well planned and was a comfortable environment.

    Well done everyone: @Alex Fisher, @Andrew Blanchard, and everyone else who helped organize the event and @Commerce Guys for hosting this lovely gathering.

  • Maggie LaNoue

    What a wonderful event! The presenters were excellent, I would have liked to have been in two places at one time to hear all of it. Commerce Guys new location is so close to the highway and parking was easy too. I learned a lot from the actual presentations, plus I got some good Drupal advice on a big project I have been noodling through. Everything was so well planned, and it was a fun and educational evening. The Drupal community in Michigan is growing and the people are the best part!

    Drupal is awesome. Can't wait to learn more. A Big hello to Ben, Dave and Vicky - it will be great to "meetup" with you - and meet other people who share our interest in Drupal.

  • Tina Blair-Matter

    Alex, thank you sooooo much for finding someone who is willing to talk about Content Types, Fields, and Views. I am really excited for this meetup. :-) If anyone is starting a project that uses any of these and doesn't mind someone looking over their shoulder at the beginning stages of their development, please let me know. I would really appreciate the opportunity.

    I am finally doing my first paying Drupal project. It will be a somewhat simple e-commerce site. But there may be an additional project of a fairly large scale by the end of the year form the same client.

  • Jennifer

    I am looking forward to getting involved with Drupalcamp Michigan/Give Camp and meeting more people.
