The group to discuss administering the groups.drupal.org web site.

Request to change organizer on the colombia group

Commons Architecture issues posted
I've posted several issues for discussing the Commons 3.x (Drupal 7) architecture.
If you have input to share about the way we build Activity streams, the choice of base theme, the WYSIWYG editor or wiki functionality in Commons, now is the time to share your thoughts!
Edit: I've added this post to the Groups.drupal.org and Maintenance groups, but it's certainly possible that GDO would implement a particular feature in a different way from Commons.
Could we please have the "Don't send notifications for this edit" functionality on g.d.o?
Could someone easily roll out the "Don't send notifications for this edit" on this site, or is it a really complicated and involved process?
Duplicate Tri/Triad groups
TriaDUG appears to be 100% duplicate to http://groups.drupal.org/tridug
It will be merged into that group in one week unless there is a good reason for it
DO and GDO account mess....
Hey Maintenance group,
I was told by some other members this was the appropriate place to post this.
I have myself a well put together mess:
It is as follows:
I had originally created a DO account:
http://drupal.org/user/387227
later on during the GDO migration i believe i was forced to create another account with the exact same username, which left me with the following accounts:
NEW DO account: http://drupal.org/user/1184088 (individual membership attached to this account, and all of my current community posts)
Change ownership of 'United Kingdom'
Hello, I'm following the 'Abandoned Groups: Policy for Deleting a Group or Changing Its Manager' here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/39596
The United Kingdom group is effectively abandoned, I have followed steps 1 to 3:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/207453
And this is step 4, I now ask if you could transfer ownership of the group to me, and then I can add the other people that would like to be administrators.
Thanks!
Create a new "Jobs" group on g.d.o?
Currently groups.drupal.org has a "Job" content type available for content creators to use.
Due to the number of organizations looking to do hiring, the availability of this content type has resulted in an increasing number of Job content type nodes being posted into groups here where job postings reduce the effectiveness / usefulness of the group. Frequently (almost always?) the job postings are for positions that have very little to do with the subject matter of the group.

Template and sob story about denying vs. deleting vs. merging new groups
A group was in the moderation queue for a number of months and I just merged it with another group. Unfortunately, I did this before explaining in the moderation log what I was about to do. Deleting the group and merging it, of course, removed it from the moderation queue. Oops.
Here's the message I sent phunster, who proposed the group. It's here partly so that I have a template to reuse in the future.

New admins/moderators needed for Drupal's Latin America group
Drupal adoption and use, and the community around it, are growing more and more. For example, there are good possibilities to celebrate the first DrupalCon Latino soon, probably the fourth quarter of this year 2012, in Brazil this first time.
There is another group for the DrupalCon Latin America organizers, while the Latin America group is more for the users of this and other community activities (drupalcamps, etc.).

Bluecheese available, but not default - help test
Hello maintainers,
The bluecheese theme (aka the theme you love on drupal.org and have been dying to get on groups.drupal.org) is now available for you to select in your profile. Got to your profile click the edit, scroll down, choose bluecheese, and poke around the site.
There's already a few things that need changing. See these issues first:

Read moreStrange thing happening when approving or denying requests to join a group
Hey gang, I just had a strange thing happen when trying to request membership in the http://groups.drupal.org/drupalorg-policies group. I applied to become a member, filled in the 'reason' box on the request-membership form, and submitted it.
Read moreUpdated lots of modules - what's broken?
Hello,
Thanks to drumm for updating lots of modules on the site and getting it into bzr/jenkins like all the other sites.
Let's talk about what's broken and fix it.
- We lost a few theme tweaks - I think we should not try to revive but instead should move to the new theme
- We lost a few configurations from updates (vote up down was just gone from the site for a while, I fixed that).
What else is broken/missing?
Thanks
I want to Manage Drupal Bangladesh Group
As the Drupal Bangladesh Group is not active.
I want to mange this group from now on.
I am C, C++, Java & PHP programmer with 2 years of web developing experience.
I hope I could be a right option to maintain or manage "Drupal Bangladesh"
I've already opened a discussion on "Drupal Bangladesh" group page & sent a thread to the previous Group Organizer.
The thread is: http://groups.drupal.org/node/198063
I've opened a discussion in our language "Bangla" too.
The thread is: http://groups.drupal.org/node/198078

Since mboas is the only member posting recently and asked to be promoted to admin rather than forming a new group, I have fulfilled that request.
Group renamed to Brighton
At the request of stevepurkiss the "South East UK" group has been renamed to "Brighton" to make it easier to find.
Should all groups be "open"? What are valid reasons to make a group "closed"?
(Cross-posted because this is a g.d.o management issue as well as a g.d.o usage issue.)
I've noticed that several groups on g.d.o are set as closed membership (i.e., g.d.o members can't just join, they have to ask to join or be invited to join).
Very partial list of some closed groups, for illustration
- http://groups.drupal.org/botswana
- http://groups.drupal.org/tennessee
- http://groups.drupal.org/melbourne
- http://groups.drupal.org/tri-cities-tennessee
- http://groups.drupal.org/uchicago
- http://groups.drupal.org/migrating-joomla
group changed to "open"
Al groups should be "open" membership unless there is a very specific reason for them to be moderated. No group should be closed.
Getting a new group moderated
I started a new Drupal group for my area a little over a month ago (first meet up tonight!), but I'm noticing that the group is not in the main groups listing and has the moderation message at the top of it. Have I missed a step in setting up the group? Any way I can request to have it moderated into a "real" group? Thanks for any pointers!
