Here is a rough agenda of some of the topics that we think are worth covering. The camp is a mixture of presentations from the core team and community members followed by specific sessions on different topics. It is important for us to get feedback from the participants at an early stage so we can plan and ensure we cover most things. Please add your comments / needs on this page

    THANKS for seeking our feedback about the course content. Here's my top-5 list:

    1. Drupal Integration!
    2. Solutions to integrate with an "apply online" process such as the webform module. Or alternately, using CiviCRM by itself to collect online applications, perhaps using activities with custom field sets.
    3. Getting more out of profiles: entering multiple records at once, and pursuing a 1-click solution to add new individuals and auto assign a group, tag, relationship & activity.
    4. Hooks and custom modules.
    5. Data visualization e.g. http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/

    I'm also seeking advice about payment processors (which one to choose).
