Seattle | g.d.o

CHX will be in Seattle July 25-26 and has expressed interested in having a code sprint here to crank on the D7 criticals queue and port modules to D7. Is anyone interested in this? While this event will probably be pretty code-centric, I think it would be an excellent introduction for people who are curious and interested in how to get more involved in the Drupal community. If Jennifer can make it, I'm sure she would be up for some documentation queue wrangling and we can make sure there is stuff for all skill levels to do. Designer types will undoubtedly be able to make contributions to projects like Bartik (a new theme designed for inclusion in core) and I'd be more than happy to run tutorials on how to create patches and work with CVS and the issue queue.

Location TBD depending on turnout. Respond here if you're interested.

Hey, everyone. I've mentioned this idea about traveling to the Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit to a few SeaDUG members and it's been well received, so I'll throw it out to the group.

There's a cruise ship that leaves Seattle on Friday, October 1, at 5 p.m., arriving in Vancouver at 7:00 the next morning (Day 1 of the Summit). With government fees, an inside room is about $80 per person and oceanview rooms start at around $90 per person. The price is based on double occupancy and includes the room, food, and other basic cruise ship amenities. Most rooms seem to be two beds that can be converted to one queen-size bed.

Here's some more information about the ship: It's the ms Zaandam, and it's operated by Holland America. It was christened by the Olsen twins in 2000. More info is here: http://www.hollandamerica.com/cruise-vacation-onboard/Zaandam

I'm planning to take the cruise up and Amtrak back. Is anyone else interested in joining me for a pre-Summit SeaDUG gathering aboard the ship?

Greetings Drupal Community!

It’s exciting times for Drupal in the Pacific Northwest. Planning for the October 2010 Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit in Vancouver is progressing nicely. Want to find out more, keep on reading!

Background

The process started in earnest last year with a call for participation. From there we established an Organizing Committee and starting laying down the foundation for the conference. Although I was the one that kicked things off I’m extremely pleased to announce that Vanessa Turke of ImageX Media took on the role of Organizing Committee chair and is doing a wonderful job. The Organizing Committee would also like to acknowledge the support we’re getting from last year’s Seattle organizing committee.

Contacts Sponsorship: Phillip Djwa, Phillip [at] agentic DOT ca Volunteers: Vanessa Turke, Vanessa [at] imagexmedia DOT com Presenters/Keynotes: Chris Geoghegan, chris [at] imagexmedia DOT com Training: Dale McGladdery, dale.mcgladdery [at] gmail DOT com General Inquires: Vanessa Turke, Vanessa [at] imagexmedia DOT com The Conference

Here’s what we’ve nailed down about the conference so far:

Date: October 2 & 3, 2010 Venue: UBC Robson Square Vancouver Tracks: Developer
Design & Theme
Site Architecture & Administration
Business & Project Management
Birds of a Feather Financing: The conference is primarily financed from sponsorship, with a small contribution coming from ticket sales. Organizing: There are no paid organizing positions. We’re all volunteer. Sponsorship

Phillip Djwa of Agentic is heading up sponsorship. He’s happy to report there’s been solid interest and we’re on tract for getting the sponsorship we need to run the conference.

Please pass along your kudos to the following companies for their early support: Affinity Bridge, Agentic, Appnovation, DrupalSN, Venture Web Design, ImageX Media, and North Studio!

Sponsorship opportunities are still available. If you’re interested please contact Phillip [at] agentic DOT ca. In addition to paid sponsorships we’re considering special items and events. If you’d like to sponsor a code sprint, special training events, or have an idea for a fun adjunct to the conference, please let us know!

Vancouver PNWDS 2010 Website

The website subcommittee is working hard on the 2010 website and expects to launch in June. Alex Ventpap, ImageX Media, has created a beautiful new design. Katy Laan, Seascape Web Design, is leading the implementation team which includes Steve Liu and Scott Morgan, Webzoa.com.

We'd like to extend our thanks to Affinity Bridge for their work archiving last years site and logistic support preparing it for 2010, and to CanTrust Hosting Coop for providing hosting.

Pre-Conference Drupal Training Events

The Drupal Summit isn’t aimed at folks just starting with Drupal, but we don’t want to forget them. We’re planning a number of training events based on Seattle’s Drupal Clinic model.

The Organizing Committee is maintaining a volunteer list to draw names from when help is needed.

Staying Informed

• The Summit website, when it’s up and running, will be our primary means of keeping you informed.
• Groups.Drupal.Org (GDO) is better suited for some types of discussions, so we’ll utilize it as appropriate.
• We have a twitter account at http://twitter.com/drupalsummit and will be posting updates
• Our hashtag is #drupalsummit, feel free to start the tweets now
• Many of the Organizing Committee hang around on IRC in the #drupal-pnw and #drupal-vancouver channels.

The 2010 Seattle Drupal Clinic is coming soon!

When: Friday, July 9, 2010 - 9 AM to 4:30 PM
Where: North Seattle Community College, Clubroom CC-1360
Cost: $25 plus ticket service fee

Drupal Clinics are hands-on introductions, for beginners, to building a web site using Drupal. We will cover questions like "What can Drupal do?", "Why choose Drupal?", and general concepts of on-line content management with a database behind your web site. Then we'll work through the basics of setting up a Drupal site, including the use of the CCK and Views modules. See poplarclass.com for more details, and seattledrupalclinic2010.eventbrite.com to register.

Volunteers needed!

We found last year that having 5 or so volunteers on hand all day was crucial to the success of the workshop. If you are an experienced Drupaller, patient enough to help beginners as they learn the basics of Drupal, and can spend a Friday contributing to the local Drupal community, your help would be most welcome. Please add a comment on this event if you want to volunteer (if you want to attend the workshop as a learner, you need to register and pay on Eventbrite).

Volunteers will be rewarded with:

• Lunch (see below)
• The chance to introduce themselves and their company
• Logo and link on the clinic web site

Lunch: Sandwich lunches come with sandwich, chips, water, apple, dessert and a couple hershey kisses. Salad lunches come with salad, a roll, water, apple, dessert and a couple hershey kisses. I will ask for all condiments/dressings to be on the side.

Choices:
1) Mesquite chicken sandwich: Grilled chicken, swiss, tomatoes, lettuce and honey dijon sauce on a wheat roll.
2) Roast beef sandwich: Tender cooked roast beef, lettuce, tomato and Swiss served on sourdough.
3) Vegan sandwich: Sliced avocado, tomatoes, hummus, sweet red pepper, red onion, lettuce and cucumber on wheat bread.
4) Avocado salad: Avocado, tomato, green onion, croutons, crumbled bleu cheese with bleu cheese dressing.

If you would like to volunteer and have the time, please add a comment here. Include your lunch choice, and contact me with the logo/link you would like to have on the web site.

Thanks!

farfetchers Theme, store, ecom, mods and integration Employment type:  Contract Telecommute:  Allowed

I'm setting up a store for antiques and using the ThemeSnap Ecommerce Pro theme . I would like to make some fairly simple mods to it involving some relayout. I need some help integrating features too with ubercart, especially in inventory management. I'd like someone who can follow the drupal code for accessing data and will need some help with the javascript--there seems to be a conflict in the uc_out_of_stock module and the theme's js. Looking for hourly contract help and I pay promptly.

For five years, we've been working almost exclusively with Drupal. We're looking for a few outstanding members to join our teams New York City and in San Francisco, but for the right talent you can be elsewhere...

What we're looking for:

o Knowledge of module development, and dos and don'ts in Drupal
o Familiarity with Drupal's top modules, including (of course) Views and CCK

o A history of contribution to the Drupal project, and interest in Drupal 7 and the future of the Drupal project
o Knowledge of Social Networking platforms, and how, why and when they should be integrated
o Good working knowledge of the Linux command-line
An interest in not only Web but Mobile & Video platforms

We are:
o A long-time Drupal shop, with almost five years experience working in the space
o A client list, and a reputation for hacking great solutions together for clients both Startup and Enterprise
o A tightly knit engineering team that really likes getting things done and seeing our work have impact
o Deep technologists, with team members working with Release Management, Drupal and Agile Java (Hibernate/Spring -> great if you know some), AMF-PHP and other cutting edge problems and integration work operators on high performance deployment platforms on both Amazon and our mostly solid-state in-house system, as a lot of our work involves big traffic numbers.

After discussing with various WWU and #drupal-seattle folk, we've decided to kick off the Bellingham Drupal Users Group or.. bhamDug. or something to that effect. I know quite a few drupalists who can't really commute to Seattle or Vancouver, and much like the Bellingham Linux Users Group, there is a thriving community around here.

So if you live in Skagit or Whatcom Counties, or just wanna hear whats going on up here, join up on the new bellingham group:
http://groups.drupal.org/bellingham

I'm hoping that with enough of a crowd, we'll be able to be an active part of the PNW drupal summits.

Hey everybody!

So currently there are three Drupal channels for Pacific Northwest cities - #drupal-portland, #drupal-seattle and #drupal-vancouver. Right now there is a lot of overlap between these channels - people who hang out in two or three, but a lot of the time the individual channels are pretty dead. Additionally, since the Drupal Summit last year, there seems to be more of a broad community feeling between all the groups than there has in the past. So I was thinking maybe we should just do away with the three channels and form a new #drupal-pnw channel. It would bring more of us together and for many remove the need to join two or three channels individually. Local-only discussions could still happen on the groups, as it does already really.

Thoughts anyone? I'd love to hear them!
