Thank you Mike Oconnor (of Jackson) for making the first connection. So in your honor I invite the Jackson user group to come once again to Ann Arbor to help me celebrate my first Drupal meeting. I'm throwing a birthday party for the A2Drupal users group!

Happy Birthday A2Drupal!

I'm interested in being able to set up a pledging system, that can enable donation bounties as a content type, and allows people to first pledge, then be billed if pledges reach a capped amount, or have no one billed of pledges do not reach an amount.

Is it already possible to do this with existing modules (like e-commerce and cck)? If not, I am committed to producing this capability, and would feedback from this group on suggestions about how to approach from a module creation standpoint

Don't miss this meeting!!!

I'm happy to announce that Eli Neiburger of the Ann Arbor District Library is going to present at this coming Ann Arbor Drupal Users group meeting this Monday night 24Sep07 @ 7pm.

This will be a rare chance to look under the hood of a regionally high profile Drupal site.

We will meet at Ann Arbor Spark our new home.

Hi all, I'm a new GR group member and I live 50 miles north in Fremont MI (I've been here about 1.5 years, just moved here from the east coast, though I grew up in Wisconsin). My big goal for drupal in my life is to convert a FileMaker Pro database solution I developed for musicians called Indie Band Manager to drupal. I think it will require a few custom modules (in contact management, bookings, and financial tracking) and an installation profile... but I think most everything I need already exists and just needs to be tweaked.

I thought some of you in this group would be interested in our upcoming technology & design event:

Rule #1 of BarCamp: you DO talk about BarCamp.

I live in the commerce, mi area and was wondering if anyone lives around this area that I can car pool with to the meetings. I have a 1980 CJ-7 Jeep so it's not very trustworthy for driving for distances. I would be willing to pay for gas, it's just I don't want to drive down there and have my jeep crap out on me.

Have a strong desire to help great progressive organizations make the world a better place? Looking to work with a fantastic team of Drupal developers and build out some really cutting edge sites? Can you write code better than a thousand monkeys with a million years on their hands?

Trellon is a development shop based in Washington, DC and we are looking for a few good programmers to work with our talented team of Drupal developers on some big projects. We’re offering a 1 – 2 month contract to build out a couple of client sites.

Normal bi-weekly meeting. Four Friends Coffeehouse.

Our normal meeting on 3/5/07 has been cancelled due to lack of a quorum. We'll resume bi-weekly meetings on 3/19/07.

By popular request, we are going to try meeting at 6PM rather than 7PM this week. We'll meet at Four Friends Coffeehouse as usual. If you can't make the earlier time, come around at 7 and call Structure Interactive at (616) 364-7423 so we can come let you in.

My name is Anthony Neumann and I actually ran across this group by chance through some random google search relating to drupal. The strange thing is I am actually moving to Grand Rapids next week. I'm new to drupal and am in the process of overcoming the drupal learning curve. Once I can accomplish this I plan on getting into module development.

I currently live in Clio Michigan which is just north of Flint. I am a senior in Computer Engineering at Kettering University and am currently working on my thesis project.

Looking foward to getting to know everyone!

Four Friends Coffeehouse, possibly moving upstairs to Structure Interactive afterwards.

Hi everybody, I’m just introducing myself here. I’m from Jackson and have been designing drupal sites for a couple months now and am really getting into it. I’m still new at it but love learning all this stuff. Some day ill make it to a meetup and I’m looking forward to meeting people that actually know what drupal is.
Thanks,
