Ireland

The Burren College of Art, Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare have kindly offered space to host this summer's DrupalCamp in Ireland. Wi-Fi, a large gallery space, a lecture theatre, a seminar room and cafeteria are available both days. And come evening we can enjoy some great restaurants and bars in the village, which also has several hotels, B&Bs and self catering cottages in which to stay. On top of that, it's set in the unique Burren landscape, looking out over Galway Bay. Doolin, Lahinch and Kinvara are nearby, so if you want to make a proper break of it and come earlier or stay on after the camp, there's lots to see and do.

If you're keen to help out in any way, please don't be shy, do let us know. What we really need now are for people to volunteer to give presentations on any aspect of Drupal for either absolute beginners or seasoned developers.

Informal meetup - pints and drupal chat. everyone welcome.

I'll be there from 7.

OK, so maybe I am missing something really basic, but this cropped up today when I was creating a directory index for publications on one of our sites.

I created a view using the default glossary view as a reference. When I first created the view and added my filters for Published and Node Type I noticed that the preview list had no sort order so I added Sort By: Node Title and previewed again... was surprised to see something along the lines of:

While theming and developing today I switched from Firefox to Internet Explorer and found that my site had no styles! Ahhh! To save you from possible headaches, here's my finding: IE limits Drupal to 31 stylesheets total. The work-around for the bug is to enable CSS aggregation.

Many modules have their own stylesheets, so when you get to a certain number of modules, plus have your own custom theme, you reach a point like I did today where you pass the threshold. Hope this helps someone!!

Has there been any suggestion or plans for the hosting of the next drupalcamp in Ireland?

I may be able to both logistically and financially help with sponsorship for an event in the new year.

In terms of the next drupalcamp does anyone have any idea what format it may take, does anyone want it to focus on any particular aspects? The first camp I went to in Belfast I enjoyed and presented a couple of sessions, however I feel as though their could be more structure to the presentations to absolute beginners.

Thoughts?

A fantastic weekend was had by all at Drupalcamp Belfast 2009.

Top notch venue, cracking presentations, lovely grub and coffee on tap.

What more could we ask for?

A big thank you to Stephen, Feargal, Stephen, Chris, Adam, Julie and all the others who put the event together.
Much respect to the sponsors who kept the whole event free [as in beer... well not free beer...but you know what I mean!]

Hi all,
Is anybody on here travelling to Drupalcamp Belfast from Galway [or somewhere anywhere close to Galway].

I could do with a lift - don't fancy the long drive myself.

I haven't sorted accomodaton yet, so either Friday evening or Saturday would do fine.

While I'm at it - can anybody recommend a cheap and clean accommodation near to the venue.
B&B maybe?

Thanks
Alan
