Welcome to Huntsville on Drupal Groups
Hello! Welcome to Huntsville on Drupal Groups. If you are from the North Alabama area and use Drupal, step up and introduce yourself. We are hoping to have a local Drupal meetup in the future. This won't happen unless you chime in.
I'm Eric. I've been using Drupal for a few years, but I am finally starting to understand how flexible and powerful it can be.
I have used Drupal for projects related to the Huntsville-area.

So, I'm Eric and I live in Huntsville. I am currently developing a site for a new church: http://sojournhuntsville.org/. I've been using Drupal for a few years, but never got into any major development with it on any site that is important. I have developed a few gaming-related sites including http://haloportable.com/.
Enjoyed the site
Eric...
Great job on the Sojourn site!
Is that your home church? Looks like a neat group.
Btw, I dunno if this will yield any Huntsville Drupal guys, but you might visit with AlabamaChristians.com, and click on the Huntsville link for Christian networking there. Just a thought.
Blessings!

Hi Eric,
I'm not in Huntsville (I use to be ~1990) but I am in Birmingham. I just started using drupal for my site http://howibecameaninternetmillionaire.com/ a few weeks ago. It seems to do quite a bit of what I'm looking for. I will probably get around to writing some modules but I have to teach myself php. Hopefully that won't be too hard as I've been developing c/c++/java for the past 18 years.
Have you ever thought about having a meetup? Doesn't look like it would be too hard to get the 5 subscribers together. I'd be glad to help. And be glad to head up to huntsville. Weekends would probably be easier than weekdays although with enough notice weekdays would be fine.
If any of the huntsville subscribers have online businesses such as consulting, eBay stores or what ever visit my site. I'm trying to build a comunity of entrepenures that can use my site to promote their online endevors, Its free to join and I'm sure that drupal users can provide lots of feedback even if you don't want to join at this time.
Great to know you are out there,
AndrewB

Drupal, the great enabler!

I'm probably going to be moving to Hsv for a while at the beginning of '07, so I will look forward to meeting the Drupal community there. Great looking site! I will likely also be looking for a church (my parents are happy at Southwood, but I to be a sucker for all this pomo-contemporary-emergent stuff) so I may have occasion to come visit you all.
Intro from up North
Hello! My name is Tony Gettig and I currently live in Portage, Michigan. I am planning to relocate my family to the Huntsville/Decatur/Hartselle area after the new year. I am glad to see a Drupal group in the Huntsville area!
I currently use Drupal for many sites, and am in talks to replace my church's site with it. I'm not the greatest PHP programmer, but I'm not afraid to roll up my sleeves and make a few mods here and there. I hope to learn theme development in 2007.
Merry Christmas!

Hello, Tony. Thanks for
Hello, Tony. Thanks for signing up on the group. Have you made it to Huntsville yet?
I kind of took the same approach with Sojourn's website. I don't know PHP at all, yet I was able to stumble my way through Drupal.
I hope you can reply and stay in tourch so that we can organize a meet up some time.
I'm using Drupal on a couple of other projects and I hope to learn more about it. It would be great to have a local support group.
Eric
Moved and ready
OK, I'm now moved to Hsv. If anyone else wants to set up a meeting, i'd love to get one going. I don't know where anything is here (been 12 years since I lived here) so I'm eager for suggestions for locations, date, time, etc.
Hello, Philip. I believe
Hello, Philip. I believe we've already met. Let's get together again sometime, maybe when Tony replies?
Hello EA
What's up guys. I live in the Huntsville area as well and work as a software engineer. As of now I'm fairly new to Drupal, but from what I've seen I have liked. I've worked in Mambo/Joomla before and I was introduced to Drupal by Eric. Ever since then, I haven't looked back, so it doesn't surprise me that there's quite a few people around here interested in Drupal.
New to Drupal but just finished a website
Hi all Hunstville Drupal users. I started looking at Drupal early this summer for a revamp of a website that I inherited http://picture-book.com and almost gave up on Drupal. I jumped to several other CMS systems in my frustration such as Mambo, Dragonfly, Joomla but they were too constrictive and buggy so I finally sucked it up and plunged into Drupal.
I got some help from a great programmer in England to help with some custom modules--let me know if you every need anytone to do custom work he is very talented. My skills at programming were way to rusty(Georgia Tech CS '85) to tackle my needs and he was just the ticket.
I am very interested in developing more sites and am interested in training, module development and just "tips and tricks" for Drupal but since I live in Birmingham would like something nearby.
Please post your meeting events and maybe I can be there, in the meantime check out www.picture-book.com.
Cool site, pilar. We're
Cool site, pilar.
We're waiting on a few more people to speak up before we hold a local meeting. Maybe that will happen soon.
Thanks for checking in.
Hello Everyone
Just found the group this morning. Very excited to see one based in Huntsville.
I am an Art Director of Interactive at a design house in huntsville alabama, Inergi Design. We have been building a lot of custom CMS jobs and now are switching to drupal. We'll be interested in talking to everyone in the group. We have a a few project kicking off right now that will be built in drupal. Our biggest initiative to date is MyNewzNow ( www.mynewznow.com). We have some clients starting to line up and hope to be able to show you guys what we're doing.
Anyone in the huntsville area thats still very active and wants to met up let me know. We are very interested in finding drupal developers and will have some positions opening very soon for anyone looking for a day job.
Cheers,
Nevin
Drupal Help
Hello Everyone, my name is Slate from Birmingham and I am looking for Drupal help. I have a few existing sites, they are really part time hobbies, and I am looking to convert them over to a CMS system. I installed Drupal a few months back, crashed it by loading a picture module and haven't had time to go in the database and fix the problem yet. But this aside, DRUPAL looks like it can accomplish what my long term plans are. However, as I'm sure is true for most you, I have a very limited amount of time to spend learning and developing the application. There is also the issue of moving my current databases into the DRUPAL's structure. I am wondering if anyone would be interested in some long term free lance help/work to help get me through the conversion. I would be paying from the revenue generated by my sites, which isn't much, so I this would have to spread out over time. However, there are no deadlines and I want this to be fun for whomever can help.
Thank You,
Slate McDorman

new to drupal group in huntsville
i'm new to the drupal group in huntsville. very excited about the learning and sharing experience.
Introductions...hopefully to someone and not a dead group
I have been feeling my way through Drupal for about 3 months now. I've been practicing my skills with naturalbirthresources.com, dev.ziggyzoggy.com, and am still growing armydomain.com from its still fairly basic layout. While I've been very happy with the online training I've been able to do with LearnByTheDrop/DrupalByTheDrop, I was really hoping to find some local folks to meet and discuss issues and tips.
Cory Berry
I'm with ya
Hey Cory, it's good to see another Drupal-er here in Huntsville. I'm with you on meeting up and sharing ideas and tips etc. I've been using Drupal to build sites for about a year or so now and I'm always willing to share any knowledge I have. The Drupal site's I have up now are: http://www.rickhocutt.com , http://www.myelegantclutter.com , http://www.marketstreetfestival.com and a few others.
Along with Learn by the Drop check out: http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast Rob's videos are great and taught me a lot of what I know about Drupal. Also head over to Barnes & Nobles at Bridge Street and look at http://www.amazon.com/Using-Drupal-Angela-Byron/dp/0596515804/tag=drupal... This book is great!
It would be nice to setup a meetup sometime soon and possibly get a few others here involved (assuming they're still around). Maybe they will post a comment here. If not we can get together sometime. Starbucks or Atlanta Bread or a similar location is always good. Do you work off a laptop?
Rick Hocutt
Similar Drupal training
Oh, yes, I'm familiar with Mustardseed Media. Those videos and the Drop ones are on my iPod whenever I need a quick refresher. I was glad to see recently that the Mustardseed podcasts are back in production again.
And Using Drupal was the first book I read on Drupal and still the essential book amongst the ones I've read.
All of my Drupal work so far has been off of a server. I have been considering doing one on my laptop for more practice, but that device is, unfortunately, in the midst of technical problems that must delay that effort.
