Some unpleasant news - Thieves visit us at the drupalcamp
Im really sad I have to send this mail (and blog post out) and to make at very clear im NOT accusing anyone in the community!
But at the camp this weekend we got robbed and I got robbed...
Saturday someone took my iPhone from the main conference room - I really hope that this was a blunt mistake from someone who thought it was his/her phone, and im really hoping to get it back, so if someone finds a beat up iphone with a Druplicon stricker & Firefox sticker on its back, I would be thrilled.
To make it even worse Saturday between 15.00-17.00 My camera (Canon 450) and my 2 lenses (tamron L2.8 17-50mm + canon L4 70-200mm ) and my flash (canon) was stolen from the backoffice - located just behind the coffee-kitchen in "Rummet".
And just to top it even more - Someone stole the 15000 dkk in cash from the sales of sodas etc at the camp - The cash was hidden away in another office, so this really freaks me out - To say it at least this makes me *a lot of swearing* angry !
I hope that my insurance is gonna cover it...
So if anyone have seen anyone who they thought wasnt a part of our community and shoudnt be there please let us know, so we can find out of this - please contact me if you saw anything/anyone that "wasnt right".
Im setting up a chip-in account so if you wanna help the danish drupal community to get some of the cash back we would really appreciate it. Hey we gave you guys free beer, so chip in if you think we deserve it!
Im sad this is the first mail from the camp, and this isnt the big thank you all for comming, sharing, asking questions, laughing, drinking and make our community grow.
We the people behind the camp thought it was a huge succes! so this mail kinda sucks...
Rest asure this havent put out the enjoyment of being an active person in the drupal community, and I will be thrilled to kick ass and build up the drupalcamp 2.5 and 3.0 etc, at this point im just pissed off and tired after a long hard week of drupal stuff.
Im not accusing anyone - just to be clear!
Theres a huge possibility that someone came from outside the camp, it was not like we had guards on the door!
So please if you seen anyone or anything please let us know.
If you wanna chip in to get some of the 15K back please chip in, even the lowest amount will be appreciated.

Im hoping we can raise the money that was stolen, and my insurance company is gotta step up!
And well see it as a late payment for the 150 liters of Beer we gave out to you guys & girls
in a day or 2 well send out Questionnaires etc. So this sad event dosnt over shade the Awesomeness(tm) of the Drupalcamp copenhagen 2.0
cheers

Drupal Camp Kiev 2009
Hi Morten,
I am one of the organizers of Drupal Camp in Kiev that will take place on the 28th, 29th of August.
I talked to Prodosh Banarjee, and he recommended you as a great speaker for such kind of events.
I would be glad if you can get back to me, so that i tell you a bit more about the event itself, and so that we can discuss potential of you being as a spekaer :)
Thank you in advance for your prompt reply!
