New to Drupal in Madison

ppatriotis — Mon, 05 May 2008 16:30:35 +0000

Guys,
We're an online media startup in Madison and we're thinking about using Drupal for our CMS on our social networking site. We're all new to Drupal here and are wondering if anyone can get together for an introduction to it.

BarCamp Chippewa

A few of us up here in Northwestern Wisconsin are trying to get together the first-ever Western Wisconsin BarCamp. We're in the early organizing phases - meaning mostly we're mulling it over and looking for a time and place. Of course, the BarCamp will feature lots of Drupal love.
So - at the moment I'm crying out for people who are interested in participating, planning, sponsoring, or otherwise being involved in a BarCamp in the Eau Claire/Menomonie/Chippewa Falls area. If you are, please be in touch with me, or leave a comment below. We have a mailing list, and of course the mandatory wiki page at barcamp.org.

Also - we'll be looking for people to talk at the camp, of course, and - did I mention sponsoring?? Oh yeah, guess I did.

Struggling With Podcasting

heygabe@drupal.org — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:28:59 +0000

I've been trying to get a podcasting system set up at Writelarge.com, because I'd like to dust off my podcast and start reading my stories again.

Drupal kind of rocks for Podcasting. The software to upload and include a local or remote file in your RSS feed is pretty much handled all in the background, which is very nice if you're writing to a feed.

But I'd also like my site to show a flash player on the main page with each post, too.The audio module does that quite well (if your file is encoded at the right sample rate). But an audio post isn't as robust as a Blog post. It doesn't cross post to LiveJournal, for example.

And the Audio post doesn't have nearly as nice of taxonomy control as a blog post. Maybe It's a configuration thing, but I can't seem to figure out how to embed the flash player in a blog post. I understand that I can attach a file here, and it'll link to it at the bottom of the post, but I really want more control. And if I want tweak the color of the player, I have to manually edit the php! I don't mind that, but it's not very user friendly. The podcasting plugins in WordPress were better.

If I can figure this out, and also recall how I did it after the fact, I've got my DrupalCampMilwaukee session planned.

Drupal Camp Wisconsin

There was quite the demand for Drupal at both BarCampMilwaukee and BarCampMadison. A couple of us are getting together to start planning a Drupal Camp. I've set up a drupal wiki (from an installation profile, total install time 15 minutes -- due to a slow shared host database server) at http://drupalcamp.blakehall.org

We're still in the VERY early stages of planning so we don't have details (like a date) yet.

If you're interested in helping plan feel free to post links, session ideas, etc...

BarCamp Madison

blakehall — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 18:25:24 +0000

Just announced...
BarCamp Madison
March 3rd - 4th
Inn on the Park

I've signed up to give sessions on drupal, but would love some help.

I'd really love to see a strong group of Drupalers there, maybe even have a drupal-hacking-mash-up-pit-sort-of-deal.

Anyone one else attending?

Seen the Wisconsin group?

There is already a vaguely named "Wisconsin" group. The name was originally Milwaukee, and changed since folks were more spread out.

Seems like effort would be better spent joining and posting within that already existing group.
