This is especially true in Phila where we have a smaller Drupal community anyway.</li> <li>I think the paid conference co-ordinator person should be at a higher level with more authority (and thus paid more) than was the case for DrupalCon Boston and that person should report directly to the Drupal Association conference lead - not to the local committee.</li> <li>I think the main tasks of the local committee would be to: <ol> <li>Be in charge of planning "fun" non "business" activities for attendees.</li> <li>Generate volunteers for various "welcoming" capacities at the conference.</li> <li> Promote the conference in the Philadelphia region in advance of the conference, likely reaching out/prodding the New York Drupal group to engage in significant promotion efforts.</li> <li>Help the conference professional reach out to local media in order to generate some buzz for the conference.</li> <li>Generally be in the position to support the paid conference professional, not be the boss of the paid conference professional.</li> </ol> </li> </ul> <p>" /)</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/philadelphia-area">Philadelphia Area</a></div> Drupalcon Philadelphia Area Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:49:16 +0000 Nathan Gasser 12971 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12655 <p>I know it is the summer and how busy people are with one thing or another.

I guess I might just have to write a module that on cron jobs saves every users last page accessed.</p> <p>If anyone knows of a module that does this, I appreciate your pointing me the right way.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Sam<br /> <a href="mailto:sam@samcohen.com">sam@samcohen.com</a></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/philadelphia-area">Philadelphia Area</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/9828#comments Bay Area Mid-Atlantic USA Philadelphia Area Sat, 15 Mar 2008 21:45:02 +0000 samacohen 9828 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/9759 <p>Hey,</p> <p>The next PHP meetup isn't until April 29th - it's going to be an educational event and should be a pretty good one -- the topic is testing, which will become increasingly important to Drupal as well.</p> <p>But in the meantime we should do a more Drupal-focussed event.

First of all, a bunch of people will be returning from Drupalcon Boston and will no doubt have interesting things to say about the state and future of Drupal. Secondly, I'd like to further the planning of an April PHP Meetup educational event on the use of tests in PHP -- unit tests, test driven development, etc. We have two potential speakers at this point, might be looking for one additional. I'd also like to brainstorm ways to bring in more people interested in PHP to the event to benefit as many people as possible.</p> <p>Hope everyone can make it!</p> <p>Also, since g.d.o now supports event signups, you can RSVP right here!

We could just meet for drinks, we could allow people to bring projects they're working on that they need help/advice on, or both/neither. Or, hell, we could just have a Drupal 6 release party.</p> <p>Anyway, I'm obviously down for a meetup before DrupalCon (I need a drink and am grasping at straws here people!), anyone else?</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/philadelphia-area">Philadelphia Area</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/8939#comments meetup philadelphia Philadelphia Area Sat, 16 Feb 2008 18:23:19 +0000 Alex UA 8939 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/8880 <p>So I wasn't able to muster a Drupal Group event for this month. We were planning a PHP Meetup social, but just found out there's a presentation by the Open Web Application Security Project taking place the same night (Tues Feb 19) at Drexel. The topic is developing and deploying secure PHP apps, so the PHP Meetup kids are going to attend that event. Details are below. All are certainly welcome and I'm sure there will be plenty of info useful to Drupal developers as well. And afterwards we'll head over to Mad Mex for some beer and burritos.</p> <p>Next month, a number of us are heading to Boston for Drupalcon '08. I thought for a local event towards the end of March we could have some of the folks who went talk about what they learned and what they saw that was cool -- really, just a big roundtable discussion kicked off by some of the sessions and lessons from Drupalcon. Still working on a date and location for that.</p> <p>Anyway I hope to see some of you at the event on Tuesday the 19th, and I know I'll see some of you in Boston!</p> <p>Nate.</p> <p><hr /></p> <p>- - Philadelphia OWASP Patten Auditorium Drexel University -</p> <p><hr /></p> <p>Come join us in Philadelphia as we discuss web application security<br /> and determine the content for upcoming meetings this year!

We were seated at 2 tables of 4 each, and our table basically talked Drupal all night! So it's clear there's some overlap and I'd like to play that up. I'd also like to try to correct the problem of being stuck in one position all night, not being able to mix up conversation. So, I'd like to try to get the PHP Meetup crowd and the Drupal Group crowd together for an evening.</p> <p><strong>When: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 at 7:00 PM</strong></p> <p>RSVP: <a href="http://php.meetup.com/353/calendar/5681296/" title="http://php.meetup.com/353/calendar/5681296/">http://php.meetup.com/353/calendar/5681296/</a></p> <p>Where: Gullifty's<br /> 1149 Lancaster Ave<br /> Bryn Mawr, PA 19010<br /> (610) 525-1851</p> <p>If the changes affect your plans to attend, please take a moment to update your RSVP.

The <b>Science Leadership Center</b> on 22nd &amp; north broad is a great resource to have if needed for something in the future.</p> <p>The meeting consisted of just me an <b>fstpierre</b> speaking about some of our personal uses, skills that we developed, and things that we potentially would like to get done... Specifically one question that seemed to develop ... is it better to learn to access drupal /adminster changes from the command line or (terminal) vs a texteditor....</p> <p>I walked away from this meeting with one major question on drupal meetups....</p> <p>1-are they worthwhile, being that a lot of the info, support and group involvement can be done online with drupal.org and groups like Drupal Dojo?</p> <p><b>I believe they could be</b>...it seems to me they would be a great filtering tool of all of the information that can be absorbed in the community....also for me i genuinely like to meet up face to face every once in a while - it facilitates problem solving and it is always good to network...<b>may be we could take a more relaxed format, like beers or coffee</b></p> <p>My last thought is that we can can take an approach to use the philly area groups site to be an added support to ourselves..for instance we could set as a goal to maintain a higher degree of importance to participate in postings in drupal philly area- than the main drupal.org postings (not meant to diminish participating in drupal as a whole)</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/philadelphia-area">Philadelphia Area</a></div> Philadelphia Area Sun, 15 Apr 2007 21:47:27 +0000 henns20 3674 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/3673 <p>hello:</p> <p>i am studying php .... but don't even know where to look for the source of this issue...</p> <p><b>Problem</b></p> <p>i have used the php snippet to print a views block on my node-frontpage.tpl.php:</p> <div class="codeblock"><code><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB">&lt;?php<br />$block </span><span style="color: #007700">= </span><span style="color: #0000BB">module_invoke</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'views'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'block'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'view'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'popular_alltime'</span><span style="color: #007700">);<br />print </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$block</span><span style="color: #007700">[</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'content'</span><span style="color: #007700">];<br /></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?&gt;</span></span></code></div> <ul> <li> B article ()</li> <li> A article ()</li> <li> D article ()</li> <li>C article ()</li> <li> E article ()</li> </ul> <p>why is it printing out '()'<br /> any help on this or pointing in the right direction would be much appreciated.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/philadelphia-area">Philadelphia Area</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/3673#comments Philadelphia Area Sun, 15 Apr 2007 20:51:10 +0000 henns20 3673 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/3469 <p>Everybody ready to get together next week?
