Organizing a committee for DrupalCamp Dallas was a no-brainer. When we started planning for the event back in June, we had just six weeks to find a venue, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and promote the event to you. We needed all the help we could get!

The DrupalCamp Dallas committee really got things done. We met on a weekly basis and listed out action items for the following week. Four Kitchens invited us to use their wiki to keep everything in one place. LevelTen, Koine Media and Tarakan Design donated hours (upon hours) to spend during the workday. All of the committee members spent time on the weeknights and weekends to meet our goal of making this event as educational as possible for the Drupal community.

Was it stressful at times? Yes.

Will we do it again? Yes. We are already planning DrupalCamp Dallas 2010!
