One time, at WineCamp

Posted by Ivan Storck | Filed under Uncategorized

It’s hard to describe how awesome WineCamp (wiki) was. It really combined my favorite things - being outside, geeking it out, great conversations, wine, yoga, community and swimming through a cave!

An impromptu, “un-conference” - the participants created the sessions saturday morning, held them outside on saturday during the day, and then Sunday we decamped to a winery to code some of the things we were talking about. I ended up meeting the Drupal and CivicSpace super rock stars! and we’re working on a video/screencast together to highlight how the software can help non-profits, and chatted about how to improve the Drupal theme system. Neil says that more .tpl files instead of functions are headed our way, which Mani will love.

I had a great ride up there thanks to Eddie and Sarah (who organized a serene outdoor yoga for geeks session Sunday morning!). I had an fun conversation with Tara ( one of the organizers, thanks!) about pinko marketing, and it’s commonalities an differences with my emerging idea of sustainable marketing. Many thanks to Chris, Andrew, the bands, and others for organizing such an inspiring and fun event.
