Central Florida

Join the fun in planning Florida DrupalCamp 2010 by dialing in for tonight's conference call. Feel free to call in and just lurk or better yet, get involved. The more people we get helping, the better the camp will be!

Topics for tonight's meeting will include:
- event insurance: Hewie/Andrew
- web site: Andrew/Erik/Hewie (event brite)
- budget: everybody
- day 2 (name, application process): Mike
- sponsors: Mike
- sessions: Damien
- hotel: Marc/Don
- planning document structure: Mike (I hate the giant wiki page)
- t-shirts: Erik

With plans for Florida DrupalCamp 2010 well underway and our discussions about building a site for a non-profit organization on Day 2 of the camp, I figured I'd create a place to start capturing all of the good ideas as well as names of potential non-profit partners for the event.

Thanks to everyone to coming out for the October, 2009 Central Florida Meetup at MindComet's offices in Altamonte Springs.

We started off with a demonstration/discussion/exploration of the latest Drupal 7 development version. We took about an hour to explore all the new features. We spent a significant amount of time with the Dashboard module, fields in core, taxonomy as fields (wow), and ImageAPI in core (sweet).

We are hoping to find someone who can help us with integrating an external database into views. Currently the date api and Views will not recognize a datetime field properly. We have Fields now recognizing it properly through some modifications, but it is not showing up as an option for the date module under filters. Our budget is limited, but I don't expect it would take much time for someone with the right experience. The objective of this is to release it to the modules so you will be helping the community as well.

The Central Florida edition of the Florida Drupal User's Group had another great meetup on Saturday at Mind Comet's offices in Altamonte Springs. Over 15 people attended (Andrew - you guys are going to need to get a bigger conference room table) and a variety of topics were discussed.

Hi! I'm mike and I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in some
contract work for my Orlando based drupal site. I need some help on a
calendar section problem that has us stumped. I'm sure it wouldn't
take much time for a more experienced pro but it's got us banging our
heads. I'd be more than happy to discuss rates for contract work.

Here's what we're looking to do.

1. I'm planning a user submission calendar for accounts given to our
   advertisers to post an "event" content type and I'm having trouble
   configuring it. I want it linked to a calendar legend on the front

Thanks to everyone who came out for last night's South Florida Drupal User's meetup! It was a great turnout for your first meetup in a long time, now all that needs to be done is to build on the momentum we gained last night.

The 15+ people who attended last night seemed to really enjoy it - thanks for making Ryan and myself feel at home. One word of advice, next time DrupalEasy.com offers to buy you a beverage, you should take it - I got out of there quite inexpensively last night!

Looking for a Drupal themer to convert an existing html template to a Drupal 6.0 theme. Link to the theme is attached. Need your quote and timeframe. Need the job completed yesterday. ;p Send bid or questions to sparker@spacecoastinteractive.com.

Registration is still open for DrupalEasy’s end of summer full day workshop on the How-To of the impressive Ubercart set of modules in Orlando on August 21st.
