Open invitation to our neighboring states.

We will be having our second annual Drupal Camp Utah on June 15th this year. Attendees will get breakfast, lunch and a t-shirt... until all three of those run out.

Stop by the website and let us know if you are thinking about joining us: http://drupalutah.org

Okay, can anyone help with this one?

I created a view, am using the title as a field, outputting this field as a link.

Problem is the title names contain fractions (i.e., 1/2, 1/4, etc.) so, the link uses the slash in the url and thus can't find my title that contain fractions.

Using Drupal 7.

Thanks,

Katie

I was wondering if there are any .htaccess gurus among us? I have very limited exposure and I am having a hard time figuring this one out.

We (Chris Shattuck and I) just had a really good conversation with Kris Klinkhammer from the Drupal Association. We're getting started with the Fiscal Sponsorship program and the credit card should be sent out to us shortly so we can start booking venues, getting the catering set up, etc.

We're still trying to nail down a date. The venue has Oct 19, 20, and 21 available for us, but those are the dates of PNW Drupal Summit this year (in Seattle).

The other dates that we threw around were:

August 3,4,5
August 10,11,12
Oct 5,6,7
Oct 12,13,14
Oct 26,27,28
Dec 7,8,9
Dec 10,11,12

Forwarding...

The company I work for, Wirestone, is interested in having a chat with anyone with serious Drupal skills.

If you'd like to learn more, send an email to: wayne.earl@wirestone.com.

Hey Guys and Gals,
I am in Nampa, and just started with Drupal. I am stumbling, and could use some quick mentoring to get going. What is the fastest way to get familiar with Drupal?
I am working on getting the Answers module going, and am having trouble with it. Is anyone in the group using this module? I would love to get in touch in the very near future.
Thank you

Hi folks,

A couple weeks ago we put on a 60-student mentored training at the Bay Area Drupal Camp. jBrauer kindly assisted along with 5 other mentors. It went fantastic. I would like to gauge what the interest would be in doing something like this locally. You can learn more about the structure at http://buildamodule.com/train .

Hey folks!

First of all, I wanted to thank James for organizing the last several meetups. My friend Melissa came last month and said she had a good time. I'm hoping to get freed up before long to start attending and help out wherever there's a need.

To James and whoever is spearheading the next meetings, I just wanted to let you know that I'd be happy to offer a free month's membership at http://buildamodule.com for each meetup, and occasional DVDs. I have some nice printed certificates I can send, but I can also email a PDF as well.

Greetings. I've just begun as training manager for OpenSourcery, based in Portland, OR and the first scheduled training is in Boise. While I'm in town, I'd love to get together with local community members. Monday, September 26 and Tuesday, September 27 I'll be wrapping up at Boise State around 5:30pm and would be ready to head out afterward if anyone's interested and available.

Let's plan for a meeting in September.

We'd discussed having meetings on the second Tuesday of the month. For September, that'd be September 8th.

I'll be happy to host the meeting at my company's offices in Garden City.

Presentations: Does anyone have any presentations they've been wanting to do? Let's get a couple things lined up and get this thing going!

So happy I found this group. I was not aware of other Boise Drupalers.

Folks,

Do we have a place to hold a meeting in August? If not, I'd like to offer up the conference room of my company, Project Zen Online. We've got room enough for 8-10 people comfortably, and if we outgrow that, we can move out to the production floor which is a whole lot bigger. We've got 7MB wifi and a projector and whiteboards galore.

I've been missing the Drupal meetings lately, and I'd like to see them fired back up.

Thanks

Let's create a wiki or documentation for "How to documentation for creating Drupal 7 multisite configuration".

I can help test and write the documentation. I may need some help setting mine up, too. So this would be beneficial for everyone.

The Apress folks asked for a blurb for their monthly newsletter, and while I think I missed the October deadline, I'd still like to send them something in case there's room in future editions. Below is the blurb, and I just wanted to run it by the group to see if folks had anything they wanted to add before I send it on.

Here's the request:

Hello fellow BDUG members!

I've been kind of MIA for the last few months, but it sounds like the meetings have been going smoothly with some nice presentations. I appreciate folks stepping up to host and present, thank you!

Startup Weekend is taking place on May 21-23. Essentially, pitches for business ideas are made and some selected to be advanced through the weekend.

Teams are formed, and furiously work through the weekend to improve the idea, develop the model and a prototype; and a presentation is given on Sunday afternoon, with a winner being selected by a panel of judges.

You can learn more here: http://idaho.startupweekend.org/

Many of the projects require web software to be developed, and Drupal is an excellent option for many.

I was the guy who said I could do an Ubercart Presentation but had some scheduling conflicts with some of the meetings.

I will be able to attend the May meeting, but I'll be out of town for a wedding the week of the June meeting. The rest of the summer meetings look good since they are quite a ways out. Since I also have a prior committment for this weeks meeting, if you guys end up talking about scheduling presentations, feel free to put me down to present in whatever month works best (besides June).

Thanks,

1) Boise Code Camp was a great opportunity to show what Drupal is along with how it can be used including installing, essential modules, i18, etc., and I think we were highly succesful in doing so as we gained at least one new member at our April meeting. As one of the planners and as the principal point person for getting presentations posted on the Boise Code Camp website, we only have 4 of the presenter's session materials posted at this point (or a link to), 5 of the "session materials" are missing in action!

Boise Codecamp is just over a week away and I need to let the Boise Codecamp planning committee know our preferences for the Drupal Track on Saturday and Sunday.

Chris has chosen these 3 sessions to lead off the Drupal Track Saturday morning:
