Available for work soon
Hey all,
I'm expecting to be in Wellington in 4-5 weeks. Currently in Arthur's Pass and heading out for the Lewis Pass area today. For those that don't know I'm walking the length of NZ to raise funds for the Christchurch earthquake appeal trust, Womans refuge and the NZ skeptics Society.

Anyone from AU/NZ at Drupalcon Denver?
We can arrange some drinks one night if there's enough of us.
VPS in NZ
Does anyone have any recommendations for a Xen based VPS host in NZ?
I've had shared hosting with Openhost for a number of years but want to look at VPS now. Openhost use Virtuozzo for their VPS offering which I understand is problematic for Drupal (http://omega8.cc/the-biggest-misunderstanding-ever-122).
If anyone is using Virtuozzo I'd be interested to hear about your experiences.
Alternatively are people using VPS from overseas?

DA Voting Closes in 1 hr
In case anyone has actually missed the notices about the Drupal Association voting, it closes in about 1hr.
Apologies for the shameless plug, but this is a real chance to get some Aussie presence on the board with both myself (Ryan Cross) and Donna Benjamin (KatteKrab) in the running.
Providing a voice for international Drupalers and the different perspectives on people not in north america are things that I and Donna are both passionate about.
Enough persuading - please vote http://drupal.org/node/1426814

I am a community manager for MongoDB and I'm really excited to tell you that we're bringing a MongoDB conference to Sydney! MongoDB Sydney is happening on March 17, and I wanted to send a discount code to your user group.

Office & co-working space in Auckland city or North Shore?
I am moving to Auckland (Takapuna) and am looking for a comfortable space to work from and/or share with others. A co-working space or a desk in the office of a friendly Drupal or tech company would be ideal. I am looking for something casual or mid-term initially (e.g. weekly).
But I will eventually commit to something longer term (monthly?) when I work out exactly where I will live, find the right space and get back from DrupalCon Denver at the end of March.
Central (not far from Britomart) or Takapuna would be ideal. (Since I plan to live on the North Shore.)

Hi there everybody. I am all a bit new to this and am at the, what I like to phrase in a technical term, "Tearing my hair out stage 7" phase of building this website.
I have built a site using drupal 6, which was going really well until it didn't. I have been for the last four months trying to figure out how to get a payment processor in place so that we can process credit card orders for this membership site. So we are only selling one thing, a membership.
So I have tried a gazillion different ideas which to date have all been amazing fails.

I'm coming to NZ!
Hey, all. Sorry to be a bit of a troll but I am planning on being in Queenstown in February and wanted to see if anyone would like to get together for a Drupal meetup.
If you don't know me, I'm the founder and CEO of Volacci. I wrote the SEO Checklist module and a book about Drupal SEO. I speak a lot at Drupal events in the US. I'm from Austin, TX. I could do an SEO presentation or even a building a successful business presentation. Frankly, I'm more interested in learning from you guys. I've heard NZ has the highest work/life balance in the western world.

Porting Themes to Dupal
Hi All,
I have a test bed site http://www.drupalsorcery.com/drupalblog where I load drupal 6.x ports of themes.
There are a few now:
ChristmasDays [ex WordPress]
Terrafirma [ex Nodethreethirty - css]
Envision12 [ex CSS template]
TheHobbitt [ex WordPress - under construction]
Changing the theme is quite easy, use the drop down box and choose the theme to view.
My post is two-fold:
Comments on the themes, if I may ask that people comment on the ports and add any feedback, opinions and criticisms.

Hey all,
I'm not having any luck finding a solution to this so thought I'd post this here with the intention of having a comprehensive list of suggestions from the community in one place.
I'm replacing a rather complicated nodequeue based view with one that just uses taxonomy (at the clients request). I've found this very good screen cast from LevelTen shows exactly what I'm after. I was most of the way there myself but this, hopefully, has got me the rest of the way;
