Houston
Wondering if there are Houston users out there who might like to get together and exchange ideas, strategies, design tips or whatever. Surely Austin can't have all the fun!

Drupal Webmaster Position at Greenopolis
Jeff at Greenopolis.com (combine for email) sent me the following message:
I'm looking for a Drupal webmaster in Houston to join our team. Can you let the Houston Drupal community know about this or refer anyone to me?
This is a true webmaster position, there will be no dev work...but the person who's hired will be the main point of contact between our dev team and our content team.
If anyone has a lead for Jeff, please contact him at the combined address above. Jeff should also look at this thread for ideas. I hope to meet Jeff at one of our Drupal meet ups.
Interest in November meeting
Hi All,
The 4th Tuesday in November is Thanksgiving week, and I wanted to gauge interest in a meeting on that date. The Clayton library (in the museum area) has meeting rooms available, but in order to use the room with the projector, we need at least 20 people. We can have a smaller room with fewer people, but there will not be a projector.
Alternatively, we can continue with the teahouse/coffee shop idea.
Please let me know your preference asap. Thanks!

DrupalCamp Dallas 2009 a Success!
Many are still recovering from the sold-out and jam-packed weekend that was DrupalCamp Dallas 2009. Over 100 developers, users, and business owners curious about the Drupal open source platform gathered in Dallas the first weekend of August for two days of Drupal! Here is what some of the attendees said...

Non-Profits and Drupal
I work at channelAustin, a non-profit 501(c)(3) in Austin that is embracing Drupal. Our current web site is a Drupal site. More importantly, we are partners in the Open Media Project and are working collaboratively with other community television stations nationally on Drupal-based tools and are establishing a new channelAustin site. My wife is a board member of a non-profit, the Save Barton Creek Association, and they have recently converted their web site to Drupal. I’m aware of a handful of other Austin non-profits using Drupal, such as Texas Impact. Within the broader open source community in Austin, there is definitely a connection to non-profits and within that connection there are Drupal developers and implementers. It’s not hard to find reports on Drupal and non-profits, like Drupal for Nonprofits, or, How to Build Social Networks for Change and How Drupal Will Save The World. I periodically learn about large national non-profits that have made the switch to Drupal.

Join us Tuesday, July 28th at The Coffee Groundz to talk Drupal, exchange tips, vent, whatever... :)

Drupal Help
Hi everyone! I'm a novice to Drupal though Ive been working with it for the past several months. I'd like to join in on group activities as I would like to learn all I can about Drupal and working with it. Even the smallest thing such as a maintenance update has me very frightened to even do, and help has been limited for me, which is frustrating at times:( I'd appreciate any assistance I could possibly get, there are so many things I'd like to do to liven up my site and make it much better.
Citizen journalism website builder | NOWCast SA
NOWCast, a citizen journalism project, needs a good looking website with a powerful and flexible CMS.
The project is co-funded by the Knight Foundation and the Alamo Area Community Information System, under the auspices of the San Antonio area Foundation.
I've described some of the attributes we're looking for here: http://nowcastsa.wordpress.com/2009/07/07/choosing-digital-printing-press/
We would love to hear proposals immediately from developers who are enthusiastic about exploring new ways to build community and journalism.
Our launch target is Sept. 9.
Our budget is small.
Drupal 6 Theme Designer/Developer | OBmedia LLC
We're putting together a new industrial-themed site at http://www.industrialpedia.com/
This site is currently using a custom Drupal 6 theme which was developed by another consultant, for another site we own.
The existing theme is for a beauty site. We would like to change the layout, images, colors, etc. to match an industrial site, rather than a beauty site.
The new layout should look something like this page: http://b2b.tradeholding.com/default.cgi/action/industrialcategories/
Except that we don't particularly like their color sheme.

Rice Class of 2009 Online Community
I recently launched the Rice University Class of 2009 Online Community as a venue at which members of my graduating class can keep in touch with each other. Specifically it aims to help those who wouldn't otherwise go out of their way to keep in touch with our class (especially with those members with whom they weren't the closest). The community is closed, but I'd be happy to answer any questions about it, especially if you're considering doing something similar. Thus far roughly 2/7 of my class are registered.
