Share Office Space?
Hey all,
Recently, I've been thinking of rounding up a few full time Drupal developers/designers to get some office space (getting tired of working at home). If you're interested in talking about sharing office space in the NW Detroit 'burbs (Novi, Milford, etc) please let me know.
Thanks!

Creating link with user name given uid
This must be easy, but I've spent much time with no joy. Feeling thick headed.
Got a table defined like this:
<?php
$schema['learningexercise_user_solutions'] = array(
'description' => t('Stores user\'s solutions.'),
'fields' => array(
'nid' => array(
'type' => 'int',
... ),
'vid' => array(
'type' => 'int',
... ),
'uid' => array(
'type' => 'int',
... ),
'solution' => array(
'description' => t('The text of the solution.'),
'type' => 'text',
... ),
...

a2Drupal Monthly Meeting - High Performance Systems
a2Drupal, it's about that time again--our monthly meet-up is scheduled for Monday, August 31. Same time, same place:
7:00pm at Spark Central (about Spark: http://www.annarborusa.org/)
Last month, we had a great meeting where Valerio talked about Drush. At that time, there was an overwhelming request for the next topic, so the market has spoken. I'll be presenting on scalability and high performance systems!

It's nearing the end of July already!
It is rapidly approaching the last Monday in July--scary, huh? You know what this means!
On Monday the 27th, at 7pm, we will be having our monthly Drupal meetup at Spark Central in Ann Arbor. While no hard topic is set yet, feel free to come with your ideas or post them as a comment to this thread. For starter ideas, feel free to check out the list of possible topics (http://groups.drupal.org/node/19315) and pick an interesting one.
See you all on Monday!
EDIT:
Metro Detroit Drupal Group Meet-up
We will be having an informal meet-up at Starbucks. In the future I will be setting up a more formal location.
Time: 7 pm
Map: Google Map
There will be Internet Access via AT&T Wi-Fi. We will be taking a designers approach to our discussions but look forward to developers sharing their ideas.
East side and West Side Meetups
Thanks for putting the east side (Oakland U) meetup together. In the past we've met over on the east side as well (Rochester), but for many of us West-siders it was WAY to far to drive (Ann Arbor group is closer to me than even Troy). So, just FYI, I think we'll be trying to have some meetings over on the West side as well to accommodate those of us over here.
Metro Detroit Drupal Group Meeting at Oakland Univ. Tuesday 7/14/09 6pm.
We will be having our very first gathering as a monthly Metro Detroit Drupal Group, at Oakland Univ. on Tuesday July 14, 2009.
Time: 6 pm
Room: Elliot Hall 234
Campus Map: http://www.oakland.edu/map
We look forward to the beginning of an active and vibrant group. There will be Internet Access and a projector, so come share your projects and topics of discussions.
Regular Drupal Group Meeting in Troy on the 2nd Tuesday evening every month?
Since polling everybody's opinion recently, there appears to be at least 10-12 persons who are interested to meet in the Metro Detroit area. Since the Ann Arbor Drupal Group meets on the last Monday of each month, a meeting on Tuesdays during the second week of the month sounds like a terrific complement if there are folks who wish to attend both.
Please RSVP for the first gathering in the Troy area or vicinity on Tuesday July 14, 2009. If 1-2 members are willing to assist, that would be greatly appreciated.

Support a Michigan humanitarian Drupal site
A website I have had the pleasure of working with, WillWorkForFood.org, is an international semifinalist in the Dell Social Innovation Competition with a grand price of $50,000. It is a great project that is working with Doctors Without Borders to feed malnourished children in places like Darfur. To win the competition, we need your help! Read on to find out how.
Southeast Michigan Theming Seminar
Bob Christenson (aka Rob Feature) from Mustardseed Media, Inc. will be teaching this seminar on "real world" Drupal theming. He will be talking more about the practical "how to theme" and will NOT be doing in depth detail on how the Drupal theme system works (although we'll cover the basics of course).
This event will cover the same material being presented at the NYC Theming Session on January 24.
