Problem/Motivation

The website doesn't offer a way for users to sign up for the email newsletter.

Proposed resolution

Making a custom signup form in Mailchimp and then link to it via a custom block or link on the website. I also recommend we use the signup form as another way to ask for volunteers, sponsors and (future) speakers.

I made a custom signup form, available online at http://eepurl.com/glYHI9. I made a new "group" on Mailchimp that allows people to indicate if they're interested in other areas as well, such as volunteering. This will require we pay attention to new signups as they come in, and follow up as needed. I made the form require an email verification to cut down on spam, but additional measures may be needed.

The next step is to link to it on the website, with either a button or graphic to draw user's attention.

I also made a standalone page for signups, https://mailchi.mp/tcdrupal/twin-cities-drupal-camp-newsletter

Thank you. I updated the signup page on the website to make it more of a broadly worded request (it's not just for volunteers). Looks good to go.
