Folks, we're happy to roll out yet another module for Drupal. It's called “Accordion Blocks”. As the name says, this module provides an accordion effect to all your blocks. You can also apply jQuery UI themes through the configuration settings of the module.

This block is for those of you who deploy apps with a lot of blocks on either side bars, and are looking for newer usability enhancements with regards to visibility of the blocks. It not only minimizes all blocks on a Drupal page, but provides a cool accordion effect to help your user to concentrate on a single block at a time.

A VC backed Bay Area company is looking for a back end Drupal Developer. They would be open to relocation.Please call me for details or send over your resume.

Hello Maryland Drupal Group members! I noticed how long it has been since we had our last Drupal meetup (I think last September) and decided it was definitely time for another one.

The next Maryland meetup is scheduled for June 17 at 6:30PM at the following location:
Panera Bread
12285 Tech Road
Silver Spring, Maryland 20904
(301) 680-7940

Agenda:

• 6:30 - 7:00 - Introductions
• 7:00 - 7:45 - Theme development presentation by Ron Williams

WRI recently launched an initiative called the Mainstreaming Ecosystem Services Initiative. As part of that work we are issuing a request for proposals to build an online application "Ecosystem Service Indicators Database". The application will be a simple, user-friendly interactive resource where users can find information about ecosystem service indicators. The site will also include data entry interfaces where users will be able to contribute information. The site should be built using MySQL and PHP, with Drupal as the content management system.

Get your 3D glasses ready... We'll be meeting in 3D (yes, I mean in person) next Monday, June 8th at Stetson's. We'll meet at the upstairs bar around 7:00 pm, and will get started with introductions followed by a round of five minute lightening presentations at 7:30 pm.

So far, a few people have volunteered to lead lightning talks.

• Adrian Rossouw, in town from South Africa, will talk about Aegir, a set of modules that helps you easily deploy and maintain many Drupal sites. He'll talk about what you can do with Aegir, where the project is, and where it's going.

The floor is open for anyone to give a five minute lightening talk, so if you'd like to talk about something you're working on in Drupal - like a module, a new website/tool, a question you have, etc. - post your topic in the comments and come ready to talk.

DC Drupal meetups are for people of all skills/knowledge levels, and all levels of presentations are welcome. Don't be shy if you're just starting or thinking about starting with Drupal - the meetups are a great way to learn and meet people who've been in your shoes before.

More details on the venue are below. See you there!

Hello Drupal World.

Zivtech is proud to announce two days of Drupal trainings, on Thursday June 25th and Friday June 26th. The trainings will be held at the beautiful Cira Center, which is conveniently located next to Amtrak/SEPTA's 30th Street Station.

We are seeking an individual who is a motivated, creative thinker; a flexible person who is comfortable in client-facing experiences.

Hi folks,

The first DC CiviCRM Meetup this past Wednesday had a great showing. We had over 25 people who came out to talk about the system, where it is going, and how various organizations are implementing the CRM.

We discussed the need for both training and networking sessions, and have decided to hold two Meetups each month. In two weeks, on May 6th at 6:30pm, we will hold an "Introduction to CiviCRM" session. We are still looking for a location to hold this session, so please send me any recommendations on conference rooms we can use that can seat about 30 people.

Hi folks,

Just a quick reminder that the DC CiviCRM Meetup will hold it's first meeting this Wednesday, April 22nd from 6:30pm to 8:00pm at The Black Squirrel in Adams Morgan. We will have a Speed Show and Tell, giving each presenter 5 minutes to give a visual or spoken presentation about what they are doing with CiviCRM. This is a great opportunity to come
out and learn about the CiviCRM project, how people are using the system within their organizations, and meet other CiviCRM users and developers in the DC/VA/MD area. If you would like to present, please come prepared with a laptop.

I'm heading over to Chicago at the end of the month to cover CMS Expo for TechRevu. There will be Wordies, Joomlans and Drupalites aplenty to see, I'm sure. Anyone else from DC going?

Last year Hostingcon was in Chicago, and the event was a success. We met a lot of hosting companies and helped to explain how Drupal is a top application for hosting companies. We educated hosting companies on what was possible with Drupal and how they could help users make the most of their Drupal sites.

What's the interest level in a Drupal security training session? I'm thinking of this as a practical session focused on building a secure Drupal site using selected modules and configurations. The format would probably be a day long training session, depending on the level of detail people want to get into. Most of the information we'd be teaching would be focused on real world security issues and how to solve or prevent them using existing tools of the trade.

I posted this on the main Drupal site, but am reposting it here since we would prefer a DC based coder.

We're a small start-up of medical students who want a product for us to use. If it works as well as we think, we intend to commercialize it with other medical students.

We've got a basic site now with the quiz module, but it doesn't offer much utility. We looking for some basic modifications. If the relationship works well, we expect to contract for more work.

Hi folks,

I put a feeler out on a couple of listserves earlier today about starting a DC CiviCRM user group and got a good response. I went ahead and started a Meetup and am planning the first Meetup for April 22nd at 6:30pm at the Black Squirrel in Adams Morgan.

You can sign up for the Meetup group at: http://www.meetup.com/dc-civicrm-meetup/

In the months since we successfully pulled off the first Philly Area DrupalCamp (PADCamp) we have had some discussions (most recently at DrupalCon) about whether we should focus on throwing another PADCamp, or whether we should try to work with our neighbors to the North and South of Philly to create a Mid-Atlantic DrupalCamp (MADCamp). I don't have the specific numbers, but at the PADCamp there were tons of people from New York City, Washington DC, Harrisburg, and lots of places in between, so to some degree it was already a MADCamp. What I'd like to try to see for this Camp is a little more regional cooperation and outreach, so I'm curious to know whether anyone from the DC, Maryland, Central PA, NJ, or NYC groups would be interested in helping to make this a reality.

I am proposing that we have the first MADCamp in Philly, due to it's central location on the East Coast and the fact that the Philly group is trying to move the idea forward. However, I'm personally open to hearing ideas for hosting it in other cities, and one of the bigger goals I would have for the Camp is to get more regional cooperation and coordination amongst the groups. I attend NYC DrupalCamps and DC BarCamps (don't think there's been a DC DrupalCamp- has there?), and I've seen many of the same faces at many of these events.

So, if we're going to move forward with this idea, here are some things that need to be decided:

DrupalCon DC has come and gone, and most of the 1,400 Drupalers that it brought to Washington, DC have gone home. That's more of a reason for the Drupal developers, the users, and the curious that call DC home to get together and pick up where DrupalCon left off. The next DC Drupal meetup will be on Monday, April 6, at 7:00 pm upstairs at Stetson's. Please join us to talk Drupal over beers. People of all skill/experience levels are welcome.

This month we'll take a slightly different approach to the meetup and will have 5 minute lightening round demos starting at 7:30 pm. We'll break into small groups and do this round robin style, with simultaneous presentations, rotations every five minutes, and a lot of huddling around laptops. Here's a teaser on what you'll see at the meetup:

• Features module, which writes your modules for you and lets you build sites faster - Jeff from Development Seed
• OpenPublish, a packaged distribution of Drupal that's tailored to online publishers - Frank from Phase2 Technology
• New module that mirrors Democracy in Action forms on Drupal sites via webform - Chris from EchoDitto
• Interface module, dragging and dropping components utilizing the existing Drupal theming layer - Riche from Trellon

There's at least one presentation slot left, so if you'd like to show off what you've been working on please post about it in the comments and come ready to present. We also have some DrupalCon DC swag left over that we'll bring and put out for the taking.

We'll meet at the upstairs bar at Stetson's at 7:00 pm. More details on the venue are below. See you Monday!

From my experience,there are a few major things lacking in Drupal. One of them that I have encountered a lot is the ability - or inability to manage files/documents effectively. I'd like to start laying the groundwork for a comprehensive file (or at least document) manager that allows some of the more popular feature requests e.g check in/check out, protected files & directories etc.

The Washington Area Frisbee Club (www.wafc.org) website volunteers will be meeting at Hamilton's Bar (near Union Station) for a discussion about the current state of the WAFC website, outstanding tasks and issues, and where to go next.
