NH Drupal Meetup/Event planning

sethcohn — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:28:15 +0000

Sorry for the delay, but between DrupalCon, the 'nerd ick' cold/flu that's been passing around the office, and of course the snow (it's falling again right now), things have been a mite hectic.

We need to pick a date/location for a first NH meetup... suggestions welcomed.

Ben has kindly offered the conference room at Commonplaces, which will hold about 15-20 people, and has a projector. It's in Hampstead, conveniently located 15 minutes off I93 exit 3. Other offers will be considered, either for a first meeting, or future meetings, so speak up!

Date/Time:

To be determined. Late April is my preference right now, on a weekday night, say 7:00/30pm to 9pm What's your preferences? Day of Week?

Topics:

1) Lightning talks are good for getting everyone involved... pick anything and talk for 5 minutes on it.
Interesting module you use, book you read, code you wrote, design you made, etc...

Pro: lots of people involvement - fresh idea sharing
Con: Shy people, Different levels of skills/interest, size of group (too big or too small)

2) Speaker/Presentation - devote a half hour/45 minutes to a speaker/presentation on a topic of general interest.

3) A meld of the two, allowing folks to lightning speak for 5 minutes, after having a presentation first.

I'll vote for #3 first, and then we can see what participants find most useful.

I've got an idea for the first presentation, which I've bounced off a few people and everyone so far liked:

I call it: "Web 2.0, Code 0" or How to Build a Web 2.0 site in Drupal without ever touching PHP at all

I have to work on this (it's only an cool idea so far, not a fleshed out presentation yet), but I think it's good because it spans the range of users out there: newbies, designers without coding skills, and Drupal professionals.

It'll focus on how to combine existing modules (some old, some new), not requiring php knowledge, and ending up with a site that endusers will clearly label as "Web 2.0" ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g )
See http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Web_2.0_Map.svg
for a great map of what Web 2.0 is about...

What about a DrupalCamp New England?

nikkiana — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 22:59:52 +0000

Feeling a little bit of a post-Drupalcon lull and mulling over travel plans to next weekend's DrupalCampNYC4, I found myself wishing that there was something a little bit closer to home to look forward to going to occasionally.

In case anyone isn't already familiar... DrupalCamp is based on the BarCamp format which is an impromptu participant led free conference, usually one or two days long. At the beginning of the day, attendees sign up for sessions they'd like to lead and/or make suggestions of a session they'd like to see so that someone else can take the lead. Discussion and attendant participation encouraged. The event is to be free (usually you can find companies to sponsor whatever expenses are involved, like pizza for lunch) Lots of coding, lots of learning and lots of socializing inevitably takes place.

I figured it would be a question worth posing to all of the groups in the New England area... Would having a DrupalCamp somewhere in our area be something that we'd like to see happen? If so, where in the greater New England area would we be willing to travel to? (It would be my personal assumption that Boston would probably be most central....)

Introduce Yourself NH Drupallers!

nikkiana — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 21:21:38 +0000

One of the things that was exciting to see last week at Drupalcon in Boston was the amount of New Hampshire based folks who are involved with Drupal. I know Seth and I briefly discussed the possibility of trying to get the ball rolling to do some meetups, so I figured I'd step in and see if I couldn't start up some introductions because I know I'd love to see what other Granite Staters are doing with Drupal!

So, who are you? Where are you from? What do you with Drupal? How did you get started with Drupal? What's your background? What areas of the state would you be willing to travel to for meetups?

I guess I'll start it off....

I'm Nikki Henninger, I live in Manchester, NH, I work as a themer for Advomatic, and occasionally do some lightweight development, and I'm making a resolution to get involved with the documentation of Drupal this year.

I got my starts in web design/development as a middle schooler (late 90s) wanting to publish bad poetry and stories online. It started out with static html sites, and over time evolved into blogging, I used b2/cafelog and then switched to WordPress when the project forked that direction. I went to college at NHTI for general studies and Computer Engineering Technology, neither of which were particularly web related per se.... but there were certainly things I learned, particularly from the CPET program that have been useful.

I got my start professionally with web development and with Drupal when the Concord Monitor launched blogsNH.com. I was interested in blogging (hmm... I haven't done that in awhile, I probably should) and in the process asked a bunch of technically nosy questions on what platform they were going to run the project on and somehow ended up getting hired on a temporary basis to help with some theming and configuration post-launch.

While I was working on blogsNH and looking for Drupal guidence, I reconnected with Morbus Iff (you'll never see him, but you'll hear of) whom I'd previously met elsewhere on IRC and remembered because he lives in the state. After I was finished with blogsNH, I took a few months off to do some things like get married, and when I started looking for jobs again, I complained on my blog and the next morning, Morbus had sent me an email pointing out that his employer was hiring and even though I wasn't a Drupal expert by any means, I was at least familiar with what nodes and taxonomy were and that's better than nothing! I worked there for about six months, then moved on to Advomatic where I work at home and make sites look pretty!

Beantown '08 logo for Drupalcon

sethcohn — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 17:40:49 +0000

Just a headsup for the new logo just added to the logo contest:

Please vote for it, if you want to see something distinctly Bostonian and Drupalish, and not just another "Logo 2.0ish",
The artist, Diallo ('D'), is a co-worker, and part of the great team at Commonplaces.

While a Patriots or Red Sox themed logo would be nice given their winning streaks this year, licensing issues make it unlikely to be feasible...
So what says Boston more than "Beantown"?
