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:

Strange 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.

Updated 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

Made mboas an admin for Alaska

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

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!

OG admin in groups.drupal.org/la

Hi, was there a glitch on groups.drupal.org yesterday? I ask because christefano has appeared as a group admin for the groups.drupal.org/la group http://groups.drupal.org/og/users/3002. Neither I nor Mike Stewart (the other group admin) added him. Could you please look into how this happened, remove him as a group admin, and take any reasonable steps to prevent this happening again?

Thanks,
John

Publish statistics of local groups

Google analytics is running in g.d.o a lot of time ago but group organizers have not access to such information or a summary. Does that information is not relevant to our community? Which would be the best way to publish visitors statistics publicly?

The Quickstart group is now at http://groups.drupal.org/quickstart

The old path alias was a pain to type manually but I re-created it so it will continue to work.

Diversity group admins

Hiya Greggles (or other g.d.o adminfolk) - was wanting to get some group admins added to http://groups.drupal.org/diversity-outreach-recruitment-project as the one who started the group (Heather) hasn't been able to keep up admin duties (but please keep her as an admin as well as she'll be back at some point). Got her ok here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/143524

Managing g.d.o., visible policies and procedures

I've not been a heavy-duty g.d.o user until recently, so it's often difficult for me to find things, like what "archiving" a group means.

http://groups.drupal.org/code-review is a beautifully-organized group home page, and I'd like to see this Maintenance group home page put all the "what's possible" and policy-related info in an obvious place. The About page does cover this somewhat, but it might need updating.

OC Drupal Admin Roles

Requesting the addition of jromine and williamestrada as organizers/admin of Orange County Drupal (OC Drupal) - http://groups.drupal.org/orange-county. This group has been active and formally meeting at http://www.meetup.com/ocdrupal/ but cannot post to or manage the GDO page effectively to promote events or to have members interact socially. Many views have been disabled on the OC Drupal GDO page. An attempt to reach out to current moderator/organizer, Paris, on March 17th received no response. A request was made through email and through his GDO profile contact page.

I cannot get off the vancover mailing list...

I am not even sure how I got on the group. I am not a member of the group and I dont believe that I posted to the site. But I seem to be mixed up with them. If there some one that can remove me please.

The group has the "Join" selection and I can not find anything about Vancover in my My account --> Notifications -- Subscriptions.

I also have all of my notifications set to weekly... but I am getting every email. Perhaps its just this thread, but I don't remember sending anything to get these emails.

not that I don't enjoy chatting with my northern friends.. ;)
