Drupal developer, graphic artist | Hire Knowledge Project
CLOSED (for now)
Freelance Drupal and graphics support needed for potential contract with a municipal government in Alberta.
Duties are likely to involved custom themes, work with user and content management, an In/Out system, visual redesign of site. There is a possibility of on-going freelance work into 2012. Please note that I am assembling a team to respond to an RFP, and I have an established line of communication to the potential client. If we have a strong team, we have a very good chance of getting it.
COSSFEST
Simple post to promote COSSFEST. Hopefully the Alberta community can send people to Calgary. Any one wishing to speak contact Shawn Grover (sgrover@open2space.com). I'm already planning to do a site building presentation but given some volume I'm sure we can get a Drupal track going.

Two Weeks to Go! Drupal Camp Alberta 2008 Updates
In just two weeks, Drupal designers and developers from Alberta, BC, PEI & Montana will gather at the University of Lethbridge for Drupal Camp Alberta 2008.
In the past week - we secured our speakers & sponsors, opened registration and are expecting approx 100 attendees - many of who are holding out on registration right now :-)
Drupal Camp Alberta 2008
DCA08 is unlike any corporate conference you've ever attended - and for good reason. Focusing on "Drupal" - an open source content management system and application framework, DCA08 is a low-cost, highly collaborative "unconference" held in at the University of Lethbridge, in Southern Alberta, Canada.
Gone are the days of sponsored vendor presentations and for-profit registration fees. Our peer taught, volunteer-run sessions will by heavy with "doers", and light on the "talkers".
Join us July 3 & 4 from 8am - 5pm both days (Networking event on July 3rd)
Drupal Camp Alberta 2008
After a short discussion with the powers that be at the University of Lethbridge, I have full approval to host Drupal Camp Alberta 2008 in June or early July.
Our facilities are top notch http://www.uleth.ca/conference/ (open WIFI, theatres, breakout rooms, entertainment and fitness facilities, AND campus housing summer rentals) - so we are going to take the bull by the horns and spread the word.
I know the organizers for DCV08 put it together at the speed of light, we are going to follow suit.
DrupalModules.com / Admin Role Module
While rating modules is against the spirit of the Drupal contrib. community, I'm sure many of you have seen www.drupalmodules.com - which has some great peer reviews and suggestions for modules for your next project.
One of the main drawing points to Drupal as a CMS is the size of the community, the quality of the code base (and contrib modules), but also the dizzying array of module choices available to us. Drupalmodules.com helps reduce the noise - and so far, the top module list is bang-on.
One new module I found through this method is the "Admin Role" module.
Creating Community
My experience at Drupal Camp Vancouver left me wanting more from our own web dev community here in Lethbridge.
DCV08 sold out in two days, was $21 bucks (including lunch and a shirt) and was the best exchange of info from frontline developers I've seen in a long time!
I'd love to offer the same experience to Drupal developers in Calgary and the rest of Southern Alberta. It would be super cost-effective (but realistic?) to take over the Galt for a two day Drupal camp of around 100 people. I'm unsure if developers from Calgary would make the trip.
