DrupalCamp Chattanooga Needs Volunteers!
Calling all Nashville Drupalers! In case you haven't noticed, there is no DrupalCampNashville this year, but there is—with your help—going to be a DrupalCampChattanooga, and my buddy Lee Walker could really use your help. He's discovering how lonely it is at the top when trying to make these camps happen.
We need volunteers!

Error: "env: drush\r No such file or directory" when trying to run an install script
I wrote an install script to set up a sandbox site on my local machine using a drush make file and some scripted commands.
The gist of the script is:
<
pre>
!/usr/bin/env drush
$a = drush_get_arguments();
$current_directory = getcwd();
$profiles = substr($a[1], 0, strlen($a[1])-15) . 'standard.make';
if(file_exists($current_directory . '/installsettings.php')) {
require_once($current_directory . '/installsettings.php');
}
drush_print("Time to prepare our site install...");
if(!file_exists('logs')) {
drush_op_system('mkdir logs');
}
if(!file_exists('public_html')) {

Chattanooga Drupal Users Group Cancelled June 14th 2012
I'm sorry to say I've had to cancel this months meetup.
I was to present on Rules, but my wife is called out of town, and it's a bit late to grab a different speaker.
Also it's Riverbend this week too, which will make the downtown area just heaving with people - those of you who will blow off live music festivals for Drupal .....
http://www.riverbendfestival.com/
We will be back on for July 12th 2012, when I will present Rules.

Till then,
