Various experts in web design attended coming from all over Ireland and as far as Scotland, England and the US. The best turn out was in absolute newbies - over half of the group who had traveled from all over Ireland. /p
pAs an incentive to push the a href=http://buytaert.net/drupal-learning-curvelearning curves/a we worked together to provide 3 Irish charities: a href=http://www.zikomo.org/Zikomo/a, a href=http://www.ruralsa.ie/Rural Science Association/a and a href=http://www.shadowboxireland.com/Shadowbox Theatre/a with brand spanking new websites!/p
pThe plan was conceived 5 months ago when a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/add1sun/3412166357/Alan Burke/a (a href=http://drupal.org/user/35997alanburke/a) and a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/add1sun/3412174477/St?phane Corlosquet/a (a href=http://drupal.org/user/52142scor/a) were brainstorming what to do for the next a href=http://groups.drupal.org/node/18452Irish Drupal event/a to bring it home to Galway. They wanted to do something different and make it over 2 days to take advantage of the presentation style of a BarCamp and to include a site-building challenge. Realizing they would need a great deal of help they recruited a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/add1sun/3412170489/Stella Power/a (a href=http://drupal.org/user/66894stella/a), a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/fiona_flickr/3414934407/Heather James/a (a href=http://drupal.org/user/740heather/a) for their expertise from organizing the previous a href=http://groups.drupal.org/node/15343DrupalCamp in Dublin/a./p
pWe, the organizers, were impressed by the number of people who turned up as we expected 40-50. The rooms filled up fast and we had barely enough food for everybody. Alan had the insight to have a giant kettle available to provide plenty of tea and coffee with loads of biccies to all the attendees./p
