Drupal Install Night

1407 W Chicago Ave
Chicago, IL 60642

Never installed Drupal? Interested in trying Drupal for the first time? CDMUG encourages new people to try Drupal. This meetup is not for experienced Drupal user. If you have installed Drupal in the past, please leave room for new users. Hopefully we can set up some sites and give them a great start. We have dubbed this experience the "Drupal Test Drive".

OK!
It's been just shy of 6 months since I posted a discussion with the exact same title as this one. "Doug Vann - Unemployed"
While my 5 months at SlingShot SEO inc were awesome, they are going in different directions and don't need a dedicated Drupal developer on staff.
But who does? Maybe you know someone? Maybe its you?
Spread the word and let me know what you find.
I'm already involved in some contract work and [now more than ever] open to more. :-)

I'll see you all [many of you, I hope] at the 3rd Indy Drupal HackFest this Saturday!

I have CCK+Views2 making a gallery.
I have individual images as thumbnails in the gallery-view.
When you select an image you are treated to the oh so cool if not ever popular Lightbox2 display of.... the node page in an iframe. The iframe contains a whole webpage crammed into the lightbox. I don't want the header region, left and right regions, or back-ground images in the rendering.

Drupal Camp Chicago 2008 was a great success. It took many months of planning, but it all worked out. We will plan for a similar event to take place in October 2009. Lets get the ball rolling.....

What worked last year? What didn't work? How should we improve?

This will be the first planning meeting for this event. If you wish to join the event planning committee, this meeting is for you.

Rumour has it the Innovation Center is available.

Chef Sashah Ruge from Chef's Pallette is looking cater the event.

Need a (really) strong and efficient programmer to build me a site similar to metacritic.com in scope, look/feel and functionality but for hotels.

I'm looking for someone who can handle the full development of the website: Design, CSS/HTML, PHP and Drupal integration. Strong PHP skills are absolutely required.

At this stage, I'm more just concerned with having it built solidly and to spec - the design is secondary.

My budget is $500-650 for this project.

If you're interested, please email me with your phone number, sample work and any questions you may have.

We are starting a new Drupal Users Group in the Far West Suburbs of Chicago. Chicago West - The Fox Valley Drupal Users Group!

JBTV is looking to overhaul our existing site: www.jbtvonline.com. We're a Chicagoland based independent, music video program that is looking to build an extensive collection of our archives online for on-demand viewing. Our main goal is to feature a video player that is always visible and has the capabilities to shuffle on its own through our available archives. The user must be able to navigate through the site without interrupting video play, yet have control over the player as the user feels necessary.

I am looking for a tutor in the Chicago land area. I would like to meet a couple of times by the hour and learn the basics of drupal.

Is there a module that achieves personalized recommendations of community content from a users tags against all other users content tags?

So if user A tags a community node with 'drinks', 'entertainment', and 'bar' the resulting recommendation block would push similar tagged content to user A.

I've been reviewing the following modules but still confused

http://drupal.org/project/recommendation

setup for a subscribed friend to friend recommendation???

http://drupal.org/project/cre

only recommends content that has been voted on via VotingAPI.

Join our group for a night of technology and knowledge. The floor will be open for project presentations and topics. As always CDMUG events are a great way to meet like-minded people in our area. Bring your laptop, business cards, and an interest in Drupal. We are looking to bring out about 30 members for this event.
