Hi all,

I am in the Northern New Jersey area (a little ways from NYC), and am considering a relocation to Texas. I have a single-person studio doing marketing communications with a web/drupal/flash focus. For those of you in a similar business, how are things going in the Dallas area? I'm trying to get a feel for what the market is like.

I've been using drupal for a couple of years, and do light to medium informational sites in drupal (communications is my thing, not application building).

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

First, great meeting last night! If you skipped May you missed a good one.

A lot of upcoming things (announcement coming very soon on the July date for DrupalCamp) but also B.J. Allen was at our meeting last night and he is one of the organizers of the Big (D)esign Conference in Dallas on May 30th...

DrupalJedi will schedule a Code Sprint for Saturday, June 6th.

Our original site www.Drupaljedi.com was done in Drupal 5 almost 2 years ago when many of us were just starting out with Drupal. We never themed it, and at the time just made it a "if you want to add something to it, go for it" group project. A little messy but it worked! The group has grown since then and many have found the site useful...but it needs a serious makeover!

We'll be building a new site in Drupal 6 so that DrupalJedi.com will no longer be a site you are embarrassed to tell other Drupalers about!

When: Monday, May 18th, 2009 at 7:00 PM
Where: LevelTen Interactive located at 2929 Carlisle, Suite 375, Dallas, TX 75204 (map)

Feel free to talk for 5 minutes, or ask the group a question and we'll talk for 5 minutes.

The Texas State Historical Association, a nonprofit educational organization which recently moved from Austin to Denton (on the UNT campus), is preparing to rebuild their large website which consists of over 200,000 pages, and is visited by millions of people every year. The largest part of the job will be rebuilding the Handbook of Texas Online, which consists of over 25,000 articles on people, places, events, historical themes, institutions, and a host of other topic categories.

Looking for a developer to create a social networking site that will enable both a video uploading modual (similar to youtube) and a chat function modual (perhaps enabled through parachat or another drupal enabled platform).

Aside from paying for your services, I will also pay the fees associated with parachat or any other applications we decide to use.

If this interests you, feel free to email me at stevesmithtx@yahoo.com, and we can discuss the site idea more in depth as well as payment.

Thank you for reading and I hope to hear back from you!

Think web performance is all about load balancing, database indexes, and memory management? Think again. Recent research shows that 80-90% of the end-user response time is spent on the front-end.

The way you develop your site's HTML, CSS, and JavaScript makes a big impact on how long it takes your site to load. But, speeding up your site doesn't have to mean throwing out best practices. Chris Griego ( http://www.boldpx.com/ ) will show you the guidelines and techniques to combine performance with a solid front-end architecture.

With the recent launch of Drupal 6, I wanted to start some dialog about transitioning to the new core. Has anyone moved their sites, or created any new sites in Drupal 6? If so, what were the snags (if any) for upgrading? I have most of my Drupal installs at 5.5+, so just curious to see if there are any early adopters out there.

Hi,

On my Drupal host served from http://www.linode.com, I also run a mail server. I receive email for the domain, example: headcoach AT planowestlacrosse DOT org, and, I also use the SimpleNews module to send out a weekly email newsletter.

I created a pretty robust system following the instructions here:

http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/

It was pretty intense work to get that all to work. How do other website admins do mail? Is there an easier way?

Cheers.
