[DUG-TO] Drupalcamp...OCT dates?

[CDunne at Oakville.ca]

I haven't seen this date come up yet, but I'd also like to point out that 
23 Oct 09 is Stack Overflow's 'DevDays' event:

Re: [DUG-TO] Drupalcamp...OCT dates?



I think it would make sense to try and piggy back on the "open source 
week" idea.  It would help if there were more than three events going on 
as part of that, so adding Drupalcamp to the mix would be good.  It 
would be a good way to introduce Drupal to some people who may be in the 
area anyway for the other events.  But it seems the only possible dates 
for that would be the 25th to 28th (Sun to Wednesday).  We've done a 
Friday/Saturday combination before, a Sunday/Monday combination probably 
isn't so good.  I'm like Khalid though, I would show up anytime.  :-)

My only strong preference is not the first weekend in October, when I'll 
be at Codeworks in New York City.
