How to become a member of LA Drupal
LA Drupal has an online presence in a lot of places but one of the official ways to become a member is by joining the LA Drupal group here on groups.drupal.org:
- First create an account at Drupal.org, which is the "master" site of groups.drupal.org. Joining Drupal.org will create an account on all the the other *.drupal.org subdomains.
- Once you have your Drupal.org account and have logged in, go to the LA Drupal home page on groups.drupal.org at http://groups.drupal.org/la
- Finally, click the Join link found in the right sidebar. You'll be a member of LA Drupal after confirming your membership.
As a member of the LA Drupal community, you can participate in discussions, post job announcements, send direct messages to people (via the "contact" tab on their profiles), vote on other member's posts and comments, schedule and RSVP for local events, and more.

Prepopulating fields from user profiles on new event creation
Hi All,
I have a scenario that is baffling me and would like some help on how to tackle this with regard to Drupal 7
I have user role for which I want regular authenticated users to be able to schedule them for appointments (role = service providers). I want to have a field on the Service Provider's account profile in which the Service Provider (SP) can enter their hourly rate. Also, I have created a content type called "appointment" with a date field (based on the date module) so that anonymous users can schedule appointments with the Service Providers.

SANDcamp Event Sign Ups, Training, Agenda
Hey Drupalers,
Drupal SANDcamp 2012, January 25-28, in San Diego is shaping up to be a big success. We are expecting hundreds of executives, technical leaders, experts and users of all experience levels to participate. SANDcamp’s four-day agenda is filling fast:
Graceful response for unpublished node
I built an Ubercart site on Drupal 6 for a local company that sells vintage drums. Every product is unique, so they all get their own product nodes. When a product is purchased, the node gets unpublished. These guys have a pretty active presence on eBay, so items can stick around in Google or eBay searches for a while afterward, and these links can still get hit, resulting in an Access Denied page.
SCALE Booth for LA Drupal - Volunteer now!
The place to sign up for booth hours is here http://groups.drupal.org/node/200913
Like last year, it's a wiki, so select the tab "edit", and put in your name.
More at Tuesday night's Meeting on January 10th, 2012. At the library! See you there.
Non-Drupal: Macintosh Email Clients
I am asking this question here because I see many Drupal people using Macintosh systems. I am not a Mac user, but a client of mine is. He is currently using Entourage (came with Office 2004, 2008) to handle his email. It has been giving him lots of problems and he wants to consider other clients, and possible Gmail. He currently has email on his domain, but that can be redirected to a Gmail account.
Wanted Geany plugin recommendations
At a recent LA Drupal Meeting, Mike mentioned he uses IDE geany on Ubuntu. I've started using and like it. (Apart from the strange way to save a Project, and the need to support many Projects.)
So, I'm publicly posting asking Mike, on any member, for plugin recommendations. These are what I'm staring at now:
geany-plugin-doc
geany-plugins - set of plugins for Geany
geany-plugins-addons - miscellaneous plugins for Geany
geany-plugins-shiftcolumn
Are these 'must have' or just so-so? Any others? Any not in the Ubuntu repos?
Who's going to SANDcamp this year? Post here if you're looking for co-presenters or rideshares
Who's going to SANDcamp this year? There's a large contingent of LA Drupal members who are going, so feel free to post here if you're looking for co-presenters or rideshares.

High Performance Drupal meetup at Filter Digital in Culver City on February 7, 2012
The High Performance Drupal meetup now meets on the 1st Tuesday of the month. We're meeting again on February 7, 2012 and will be at Filter Digital, a digital solutions agency in Culver City located just two blocks from Media Temple, a familiar venue of Drupal meetups on the Westside.
LA Drupal meetups follow a basic format and start off with Drupal news and announcements, local job announcements, raffle prizes and full-length presentations. As always, we'll also have community Q&A, during which time anyone in attendance can ask questions, divine answers from the crowd and give brief, 5-10 minute-long presentations known as lightning talks.
We'll finish off the night with more networking and a Drupal After Dark at 9:30pm.
For any changes to our agenda, stay tuned to this meetup announcement or click the Sign up button below (or both!) to be notified when the agenda has been updated.
About High Performance Drupal
What is the High Performance Drupal meetup about? The "high performance" part of the name is a catch-all to describe Drupal scalability, performance and benchmarking but we also discuss hosting, infrastructure, deployment, monitoring and highly repeatable processes. Also, this meetup has been held at coffeeshops in the past and the addition of caffeine makes our meetings feel as if they go faster and faster as the night goes on.
This is an LA Drupal meetup that focuses exclusively on advanced topics and there will not be a Users Helping Users portion to the evening.
Thank you to our sponsors!
Light food and refreshments will be served throughout the evening courtesy of our food, drink and venue sponsor, Filter Digital, a digital solutions agency.
Our client list spans global brands and Fortune 100 companies to startups and boutique firms. Let us help you create a digital solution that fits your needs!
Our projector for the evening are being provided by Exaltation of Larks, a Drupal strategy, consulting, development and training company with a team of Drupal experts in Los Angeles.
We like doing hard things on the web and excel at creating and maintaining exceptional Drupal sites with unexceptional budgets.
