Combined Melbourne PHP-Drupal Bowling Meetup
Hey everyone!
I was inspired to organise a social event for next month, and this is what I came up with:
<?php
$group1 = "phpMelb";
$group2 = "Melbourne Drupal";
$idea = "A combined $group1 & $group2 bowling meetup!";
echo $idea;
?>I am thinking around Saturday 5th of December, before people start going on holidays and so on. We can meet at the bowling alley at the top of Melbourne Central, next to the Lion and also near the Hoyts ticket office. We'll get some pizzas there while we play, say, 2 games each, and then we can go the Lion for a few beers afterwards.
Work experience
Hi everyone,
I've got an IT degree and some experience of updating Websites using CMSs. I've also got a working knowledge of HTML and PHP. Also, I've got three years' sales experience. I'm new to Drupal but I've been to a couple of the Drupal meetings/days in Sydney. I love Drupal and Drupallers. So, I'm keen to have a career in Drupal Web development. Involvement in online/mobile/social media and advertising would be brilliant too. If anyone can offer me relevant work experience to help me get started, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks very much,
Stephen

Drupal, PHP, MySQL and JavaScript training in Melbourne
Hi guys
Well, I have decided to go ahead with the web development training business, even though it means I will probably have to stay in this perpetually cold and wet city a bit longer :)
These are my current ideas and I would appreciate any feedback.
Drupal Developer | Via Media
Hi All
We (viamedia.com.au) need a local Drupal developer to help complete a project that is about 4/5ths finished. The tasks required are nothing more strenuous than:
- creating a content and admin page or two
- creating a few views
- minor programming/db logic
- tweaking/config/permissions
We have a massive amount of work on our plates right now and need an experienced local to take this project the final leg of it's journey and do the few things we can't.
Would prefer developer to work on-site. We're located on Rundle Street. Project needs completion quickly.
Sydney October Meetup
The announcement is a bit delayed, but we continue to have our regular meetup on the 3rd thursday of each month.
This month's meetup will be Thursday, October 15th.
Unfortunately last month the ABC had to close because of a fire drill, but there was a social meetup that went quite well. I am trying to reconfirm that we can still use the ABC this month for our normal set of presentations and support sessions, otherwise we will hold another social meetup.
Please sign up so I can plan for numbers and I will post the details as soon as they are confirmed.
