Yet another Great work

Posted by muhammad.tanweer on May 21, 2012 at 2:23pm

This is another great effort for Drupalizing Pakistan. Would love to be a part of the presenters InshAllah :)

Good effort by Khurram bhai and his team

Posted by figover on May 21, 2012 at 2:47pm

I am glad to see this great effort by you.

We need to discuss the hooks of FileField API in Drupal7 .

Because, i have seen many people are having problem to understand hooks of FileField API.

Responsibilities of Drupal Camp

Posted by figover on May 27, 2012 at 3:57pm

Dear all,

Let me tell the responsibilities of this Drupal Camp

1) Khurram Fraz should give presentation on Entity in Drupal 7 http://drupal.org/project/entity

2) Ahmad Hassan should give presentation on Migration feature

3) Asghar Khan should give presentation on Apache Solr

4) I will give presentation that how to contribute a module to Drupal community

5) I want Mr Tanzeel from Viztech should come up to get some responsibility

6) We should establish a conference call on Skype so that every one is working according to his responsibility.

Thank you Iqbal

Posted by tanzeel on May 27, 2012 at 6:47pm

Yes! that would also be better if we contact Khurram (if skype call is not feasible) to decide sessions. I will do.

Thank you,
Tanzeel

At this stage we can not

Posted by khoomy on May 28, 2012 at 5:36am

At this stage we can not impose sessions to anyone. Because we expect more sessions from more participants.

Sessions should be decided by themselves. Sessions selected by Iqbal are very good and I request to all if they can also present some more helpful topics like:

Drupal for beginners (How to start with Drupal)
Views
Features
Panels
Context
Drush
Theming
.........
.........

And also Entity is very advanced topic, which will not be feasible at this time I think so.

I really appreciate Iqbal (figover) for suggestion of some good topics. :)

Topics for Experts and Beginners both

Posted by figover on May 28, 2012 at 8:45am

Thank you for your replies,

We should arrange this drupal camp for experts and Beginners both.

Therefore, it should have topics for both.

Entity, Migration and Apache Solr are good topics for drupal experts to learn more, because we should learn from each other.

Cheer up guys!!!

Posted by AhmadUmair on May 28, 2012 at 8:52am

We have very less time left, and unfortunately very passive response from local drupalers. Only two lads are active, khoomy and Iqbal (figover).

Drupal is a community and community means sharing. So please come forward and contribute your share (no matter how less it is)

http://www.ahmadumair.com/

in the spirit of a community...

Posted by Kubair on May 28, 2012 at 9:10am

ladies and gentlemen, salam alekum,
Umair touches upon the biggest bone to pick with the Pakistani Drupal community... 5000+ yet so little interaction with the community! and it appears so little within the local community too!
if it helps there will be SWAG for people who attend but extra Special SWAG for those who post/comment/discuss THEN attend.
and Umair will tell you that ikonami SWAG is always miles ahead of the SWAG most of us are used to!

OooRah! wake up!

How should the community users know about this . .??

Posted by jawad.shah on May 28, 2012 at 10:06am

There is not doubt this is a great initiative by Khurram Bhae(Khoomy).

@AhmadUmair & Kubair :-

How should the community users know about this DrupalCamp . . ??

There is no way to inform all the Drupal community users of Pakistan. :-(
If there is any way to do it then you must do it.

You can contact them one by one.

Well Done again! Khurram Bhai, Umair Sahib and IKNONAMI

Posted by drupak on May 28, 2012 at 3:10pm

Sorry for being late but i am extremely happy that again we are gathering for something Drupaly...My suggestion is..that we should go for some site building kind of sessions so that new comers to drupal can have a sneak of how things are done in order, to complete a full Website..(say a rozee.pk like job website from analysis to delivery) because generally one may know a lot things in Drupal and there can be more than one way of doing things which may at times backfire and projects take forever to complete...I will love to do following sessions,subject to approval of you guys,

1.Building an online Jobs website in Drupal 7 or classified ads website..or pakwheels.com clone in Drupal
2.Complete series on Views and views slideshow(and theming)
3.960.gs and Omega Theme(omega theme is future of drupal theming with its amazingly powerful features)
4.Developing a simple module in Drupal 7 and how can Drupal be used as a CMF too..
5. Tweaking Output of Drupal nodes etc.
6. Display Suite
7.Rules Module and creating custom rules.Also how to group VBOs,Rules and Views for some amazing functionalities..

Waiting for response from the stalwarts of Drupal in Pakistan...

What are the numbers.....

Posted by Kubair on June 18, 2012 at 11:48am

Salam alekum ladies and gentlemen

I have the pleasure of being in Pakistan at the moment, and having spoken to Khoomy and Umair I am a little concerned about the numbers for the turn out ... having said that I think we have an opportunity regardless of the numbers to have another meetup instead of a Camp.

I think we have been a little over ambitious and need to scale back a tad bit.... I suggest we postpone the DrupalCamp until after DrupalCon which is being attended by a large contingent of Ikonami Drupalistas... and hold a meetup on the same date (Sat? Sun?)

would love to hear your opinions on my proposition.... do we want a small camp or a larger inclusive gathering?

Kubair

I agreed with Kubair. We

Posted by khoomy on June 18, 2012 at 12:14pm

I agreed with Kubair. We should change DrupalCamp into Drupal Meetup on same date (23 OR 24 June).

And two volunteers are requested to present some topics. These topics should be two level.

Beginners
Advanced

All of you are requested please share your ideas and suggestions.

Thanks

Welcome Kubair

Posted by figover on June 19, 2012 at 9:04am

It is good to see you in Pakistan.

We would like to listen ur ideas at Drupal Meetup.

We would also like to listen some good debate from Khurram bhai on some interesting topic.

For day, i think 24 June is good, because, it is Sunday.

And for the location, i like the previous one.

I mean Food Street (Saffron Hotel)
