SF has been designated as the next DrupalCon conference location. You can pre-register at the DrupalCon SF 2010 site.

It looks like Chicago has been selected for 2011.

In an effort to support the entire range of Drupal skills amongst our members, I propose we generate a list of topics for our meetings. This is a wiki page so all the members should be able to edit it directly. Don't be afraid no topic is too simple or too complex.

Scalability/Performance - John ;)
Aegir project
Installation profiles
Multisite (When to use, how to use, drawbacks)

Hello all,

Thought I'd join, at least for the time being, as I'm moving to Seattle in a month. I'm in Sioux City and working on a few Drupal sites. Wouldn't mind some coffee shop drupal-ing if anyone else is nearby.

Someone was talking about using blueprint theme as a starter theme. Here is a nice little write up about doing just that.

I'm testing out TextMate and Xdebug on OS X, similar to Dan Kurtz at Trellon, but I'm still unclear about advantages of one debugger to another, and the benefits of an IDE vs. independent text editors. What development tools do you use? And what do you think is the best PHP debugger?

I enjoyed meeting everyone at the Feb. meet-up and I'm really looking forward to our next gathering. Michael H. posed the question "Any ideas/agenda for the next meeting?" in another thread. I've a few ideas:

1. Continue discussion on modules (or maybe dedicate 15 minutes per meeting to 'module of the month')
2. Roundtable discussion on how everyone configures their drupal installs and complications they've encountered (single site or multi-site, server config, etc.)

I am seeking a designer/ developer/ collaborator for a social networking site concept.

The project would be in two phases.
1) Architecture/site design to run beta testing for a couple of hundred users.
2) Scalability to RULE THE INTERNET....Ahem, I mean, to go public. I put "contract" & "full time" in the listing because their would be a potential partnership for the right person/people.

I was very excited to receive my copy of "Learning Drupal 6 Module Development" by Matt Butcher. So excited, I asked my wife, "Guess the title of the awesome book I just got?" Her sarcastic reply tells you much about me and the regular lecture she gets, "DRUPAL!?". Ok, so I'm a little beyond this book but the title is so great!

p>Thanks to the new og_panels functionality added on groups.drupal.org by moshe weitzman. Josh Koenig from the Drupal Dojo has done a great screencast showing how to implement panels within groups. The og_panels module comes stock with the Organic Groups module version 5.x-6.0.

Hello,

I just wanted to introduce myself to the rest of the members here. I'm from Minnesota and my fiance is now a grad student at Iowa State. I'm an independent software consultant and unfortunately have no contacts in Ames. I'm interested in networking and finding gigs near Ames.

I've worked on two Dupal projects, but the majority of my work has been Java and .Net based. I had this group recommended as a good place to meet developers in central Iowa. Unless I pick up a client in Minnesota first, I plan to be at the meeting on the 26th. I look forward to meeting people then.
