Where we are today and where we’ll be tomorrow

Two weeks ago we published our first post to introduce ourselves to the Drupal community. Today we are back with the latest updates and also with several calls to action to everyone in the Drupal community. From the very beginning we stated that this is an event organised by the Drupal community, for the Drupal community, and this is a great opportunity to get involved.

A lot has happened in the past week. Here is an overview of the highlights we achieved since our last official communication;

In the meantime there are also a lot of behind the scenes tasks that we keep working on to make sure that Drupal Europe 2018 will actually happen. Here’s an overview of what we are currently working on:

  • Defining our internal roles & the leadership team.
  • Design branding materials.
  • Explore event ticketing systems.
  • Exploring payment gateways.
  • Investigating feasibility of using Kickstarter
  • Developing best-practices and various administrational templates which can be reused in the future.

Call for venues

No website or payment gateway will make the event happen alone though. The biggest outstanding question about Drupal Europe is location and timing and we need your help in moving forward on that.

Currently we are collecting data about possible venues in Europe. Is there a possible venue in your country that you could think of? Would you like to invite the Drupal community to your hometown? Let us know by simply answering several questions about the venue.

The more detail there is in the proposal the better we can compare the options.

We are not expecting you to organise the entire conference by yourselves or your local community, we are just looking for venues where our organisation could host Drupal Europe.

Currently we are aiming for a date between the end of August and the beginning of September 2018. We are planning to have the conference from Thursday to Saturday where we will have a sprint room, different session rooms, an exhibition hall for sponsors and the possibility to have our own catering services. Before the actual conference we will be hosting summits and optional two days of training beforehand.

Call for Swag

Drupal enthusiasts like their swag, and so do we. We thought it would be fun to put some creative minds on designing t-shirts, mugs and other cool swag that are all related to Drupal Europe 2018. We would love to see you involved!

Call for Designers

We’d love to have a lasting brand that does not need to be reinvented again if the event ever happens again in the future. So if you are, or if you know, a creative person or company who wants to contribute this and add “Designed the branding for Drupal Europe 2018” to their resume or portfolio, please do let us know via Twitter
