If you’re willing to help organise the 2013 London Drupal Camp, please comment on this thread with details on how you would like to GET INVOLVED.

Having spoken to Josh from Chapter 3 about how they organise DrupalCamps in the San Francisco Bay Area we've decided to follow his advice and have the following format for Drupal Camp London 2013:

1) Publish details of – and invite the community to – regular monthly meetings
2) Publish all meeting minutes publicly and invite feedback
3) To keep things moving forward there will be a steering committee of 10 – 12 volunteers

The start of an ambitious and open London Drupal Camp, designed to engage the whole of the UK is starting up. So far a few people have knocked ideas about over beers and now it’s being let out the bag for everyone to get involved.

Volunteers are sought to help with a variety of roles to make this a truly exciting Drupalcamp. Many hands make light work so please don’t be shy in putting your name forward no matter where you are based.

DrupalCamp London is initially being organised by the following: Alasdair Cowie-fraser (Code Enigma), Ben Wilding (Cameron & Wilding), Darren Mothersele, Dan Blows (TechHub) Edward Davies (BrightLemon), Farez Rahman (Red Key Digital), Hedley Smith (Agile Collective), Jonathan Smith (Catch Digital), Jon Hume (Catch Digital), Nikki Tyson (Acquia), Sinead hunt (io1), Tim Deeson (Deeson).

DrupalCamp London 2013 has been divided into different categories, which anybody is welcome to join and help out with. Even if no particular team suits you, still let us know how you’d like to help.

The secretary for each group will announce the first meeting which anybody can attend.

We will also be having a regular group meeting on the second Thursday of every month which everybody can join and contribute to – the next one is on the 13th September.
