Linux on PPC Mac
This post is not directly Drupal-related, but I am trying to install Ubuntu Linux on an old G4 PowerPC Mac, to use as a Drupal server. I can't get the Mac to see the Ubuntu disc when I try to boot from CD. If you are even semi-knowledgeable about this I would appreciate any guidance you might be able to provide. Thanks.

Drupal - Find Your Niche
At the last Bham Drupal meeting, I had a little conversation with one of the attendees (hi Fred!) about what niches there are in the Drupal community that have lots of opportunities in them.
And now I've stumbled upon a blog post at cyrve (yes, the small Drupal data migration company just acquired by Acquia) about just this very thing, so I thought I'd share it:
Drupal Developer | GVPR
We have an immediate need for a drupal developer in the Seattle or Bellingham area.
An indepth understanding of Drupal and the ability to understand and create complex relationships between different content types, taxonamy terms, user, roles, permissions and subscriptions.
Contract work to start, could lead to ongoing contract work or full time employment.
We are currently using Drupal 6 with the following modules:
Actions
Administration menu
Administration theme
Clean URLs
conditional fields
Date and time
Devel settings
Error reporting
File system
GMap
Bellingham Drupal Users Group Meeting July 11th
Just a quick note, Bellingham Drupal Meetup happens tomorrow (Monday, July 11th) and we hope more folks can make it! We have invited the consultant who is working with WWU on our home page redesign project, Todd Tomlinson of Server Logic, to come to our meeting. Todd is the author of two Apress Drupal books, Pro Drupal 7 Development and Beginning Drupal 7. We are looking forward to having him join us for dinner and a Drupal discussion.
More information on our Drupal Meetup group can be found on the Meetup page: http://www.meetup.com/bhamdrupal/
Freelance Developer | Katanamite Interactive
I'm moving to Australia! So I'm looking for a freelance Drupal developer to temporarily take over a couple of projects for me, just to lighten my workload while I'm transitioning.
Some skills you'll need:
- Drupal 6 configuration - CCK, Views, Panels, Rules, Context, etc.
- Drupal 6 theming
- Importing XML feeds with the Feeds module
- Content migrations
- Basic VPS server admin/setup
Greater Vancouver locals preferred. I'll need to go over things with you in person once or twice.
Drupal Meetup June 13th
Drupal Meetup is coming right up! Bring your ideas for summer projects, your enthusiasm for Drupal and your appetite. (And your mefi, if you've got one ... Bob's still has no wireless, but they do have decent food.)
Please check out details and RSVP at:
http://www.meetup.com/bhamdrupal/
See you Monday!

Lead Developer | Join A Campaign
An Issaquah,WA based startup company is looking for an experienced developer who can dedicate time to our premier, flagship product. The product is web based and web delivered.
We are looking for a developer to serve as lead on several aspects of the project. This site is being build collaboratively and in a telecommute setting. So taking initiative, working independently, and working within a team is vital for success.
Group Meeting Tonight!
There is another Bellingham Drupal group meeting tonight, May 9th, at 6pm at Barkley Bob's. Please visit (and RSVP) on our Meetup page at http://www.meetup.com/bhamdrupal/. Hope you can make it! See you there!
Developer | TheTrackerPro.com
I am a start up located right down town bellingham, I'm a new venture in the Big Idea Lab (check them out, its a great opportunity and place to be in http://bellinghaminnovationgroup.com/). Currently working on my customer development, but quickly getting to the point of needing a minimal viable product. TheTrackerpro.com is applying the business techniques of a lean start up. Currently we have 45 subscribers (wedding photographers that want to use this tool) I could get more, but I want to validate more business models before biting off more then I can chew.
Fourth Meeting Notes
The Bellingham Drupal Users Group met again on Monday, April 11th, at Bob's Burgers & Brew in Barkley Square. It was a lively conversation over good food: always a great starting point!
Drupal Meetup
This is the monthly meeting of the Bellingham Drupal Users Group. We organize and publicize the meeting on Meetup.com in order to attract others in the community who are interested in Drupal but not yet on Drupal.org.
Signups are "closed", but the meeting is open! Please RSVP at our Meetup site so we can count attendees. More info, including meeting location and RSVP link, there: http://meetup.com/bhamdrupal/
Third Meeting Notes
We moved our third meeting to a restaurant, and had the largest group so far, sharing good food and a pitcher of Stella, and having a lively conversation about (what else?) Drupal. Attendees for this meeting were Jennifer Dixey, Warren Keuffel, Emilie Nouveau, Jakob Perry, John Sechrest, and David Sienko.
bham drupal.org
I've created the virtual host where we can play around with drupal. Email me (japerry - AT - jademicrosystems.com ) for username/password access, as well as the admin URL to create databases or subdomains.
New Meeting Location
Please see the Meetup page for details:

Please RSVP via Meetup if you're coming so we can expand the reservation!
Thanks and see you there!

Google Summer of Code 2011
Hi Hamsters!
Google Summer of Code is an effort by Google to create space and time for mentoring and great projects to emerge based on student work. For the past few years there has been a concerted effort by Drupalfolk to get Drupal-oriented projects into GSoC, and this effort has been very successful. GSoC is now gearing up for the 2011 version, and ideas are needed. So are mentors.
What great things would you like Drupal to do that it can't do now? (Or that it could do better?)

Connections with Seattle and Vancouver
I notice that there is a Drupal Meetup this thursday in Vancouver/Surrey.
You can see the meetup notice here:
http://www.meetup.com/surrey-drupal/events/14698917/
I wonder if there is any interest in going up to events like this in Vancouver or going down to Drupal events in Seattle from time to time?
Any thoughts on how we might step up the conversation about drupal a bit thru cross fertilization/
Second Meeting Notes
We had our second meeting on a chilly, icy night on January 11, 2011. Thanks to all who braved the cold and slippery ground to get to the meeting (and especially to Warren Keuffel, who tried to make it but couldn't safely attend because of the weather and parking problems).
In attendance:
Jennifer Dixey - Drupal Developer and LMS Support, WWU
John Sechrest - Executive Director, Northwest Innovation Resource Center
Andrew Shaffer - Founder and CTO, NimbleMachine
David Sienko - Media Developer, Tulalip Lushootseed Project
