FAQ

All the usual questions should be answered here.
If you still have a question, ask us on Slack or via email.

General

Will the DrupalCamp Ruhr 2025 take place in any case?: It is very likely that the DrupalCamp will happen. But we still need one, better two sponsors.
Do you still need sponsors?: Yes. We have some sponsors already. As soon as we find our Gold Sponsor we are good to go.
Is the DrupalCamp also suitable for beginners?: Yes, there should be enough sessions suitable for beginners. If you are missing topics, you can ask at the Barcamp Marketplace in the morning if someone could spontaneously hold a session.

Where can I get a ticket for DrupalCamp?: Tickets are available at Eventbrite.
Can I see the design for the T-shirt before I order one?: Sorry, not yet.
How big will the t-shirts be?: We print on premium organic T-shirts at Spreadshirt. Here are the matching size charts for men and women.
Can I buy just a t-shirt without a ticket to DrupalCamp?: No. The shirts will only be available at DrupalCamp, we do not send out t-shirts.

How does the camp work?: On both days, first report to the entrance and say that you belong to the DrupalCamp. There you will be sent on. You will then receive a wristband from us (different one for each day). With your wristband you can also come back to the Unperfekthaus if you go out in between. As a participant of the DrupalCamp you don’t have to pay an entrance fee at the Unperfekthaus. So do not take your wristband off till the end of the day.
Welcome, marketplace and sessions will take place in different rooms on the fourth floor.
For a more detailed schedule, have a look at the timetable.
Are meals provided?: There will plenty to eat. You can get a Continental (simple) breakfast buffet, Lunch buffet (meat/vegetarian/vegan) and Evening buffet. There are also non-alcoholic drinks free of charge throughout the day.
Are there vegetarian alternatives?: Yes, the Unperfekthaus has vegetarian alternatives.
What about WLAN?: The Unperfekthaus has been a popular venue for various BarCamps for more than ten years. We didn’t have any problems at our last DrupalCamps there.

Are you looking for advanced sessions only?: No, this DrupalCamp is explicitly aimed at beginners as well. Besides, you never know who might be interested in a beginner session. An experienced backend developer might attend an introduction to accessibility. A frontend expert might be looking for an introduction to Docker / DDEV. Just offer topics you want to talk about.
Can I hold a remote session?: No, there will be no remote sessions. For each of these sessions, we would always need someone to also take care of the technology and bridge streaming dropouts. We do not have staff for this.
Are the sessions recorded?: No, we don’t have the money for this. However, we encourage speakers to post their sessions on the web afterwards. Either on the DrupalCamp website or their own. Or at least add a link list.
Can I request a session?: Sure. We start each day with a session marketplace. There you can also wish for topics. Maybe there will be someone who can tell you something about it.

What is this Nerd Quiz on Friday night?: We are planning a small quiz (for groups of three) around nerd topics - movies, TV series, music, literature plus a little bit of school knowledge plus a little bit of web. You can see roughly what to expect from a similar nerd quiz from Barcamp Hamburg 2017. The linked sample quiz is in German, the quiz at DrupalCamp will be in English.
(Nicolai TO DO: Put the Nerd Quiz from DrupalCamp Ruhr 2023 online as well.)
There will also be a few prizes.
What else?: If you want to take a trip down memory lane: There were six DrupalCamp Ruhr already, in 2023, 2018, 2015, 2013, 2012 and 2010.
