Trip Home to Houston

I don't live in Houston any longer.. I live in Las Vegas, but I will be traveling home to Houston on May 19th for the week to be in my cousin's wedding. It would be great if we could work it where there could be a Drupal meet-up in Houston. I'd like to connect with some Drupalers from back home. Let me know if anyone is interested in getting together and talking shop!

WEBSITE DESIGN MAYHEM!

Katherine_D — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 07:20:13 +0000

The Houston Web Design Meetup Group, is coordinating an ambitious and likely intensive design challenge to take place Sept 19, 2007:

2 HOURS, 20 WEB SITES. That is the goal. I'm giving everybody an extra couple weeks this time so that you will be good and ready for the biggest event for any web group this year!

This event will allow the first twenty people with website ideas to built the first part of their site. We will need web ideas, coders, designers, business people, copy writers, computers and most of all brave souls! This will be a frantic race to pump out 20 actual sites that actually work. There will be some prework for those who want to have their site built, but everything else will be on the spot. At the minimum, everybody should be able to walk out with a home page and a Spank'n new system.

This will also be a smack down of design methods, where advocates of Joomla, Drupal and DotNetNuke get to strut their stuff. And lets not forget about Dreamweaver and the Devil child using HTML in Notepad.

The only way to accomplish this is a systematic approach I have been developing for the past couple years. Sad to say, it is only as good as the people who use it.

Looks like it might be pretty interesting, and I would be happy if a bunch showed up for the drupal team. Check out the link above.

Replay of 1st Drupal Get Together

bahuvrihi — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 14:22:15 +0000

Hi All,
Last night we had 2 in attendance at the Stags Head Bar to talk Drupal Stuff. Myself, Bruce, and Sean (Skor) showed up. We got started around 730 pm after finally figuring out who each other was, and wrapped around 10pm. Sean brought his laptop and we viewed various sites that we had both done using the bars wifi network.

Highlights (for me): Sean introduced a website called www.drupaldojo.com which looks like a great source for learning aspects of Drupal. An idea I put forth was the possibility to do a group project, e.g. develop a module for Drupal.

Alot of information was shared. I was surprised how much info two people can generate, so I am thinking if a bigger group can show up, the benefit of it to everyone could be pretty amazing. We decided we should set a regular meeting day and time of the 1st Tuesday of every month at 7pm. So next one is September 4th. (That can change of course if people want to vote.)

impromptu meeting locations?

skor — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 08:58:03 +0000

Anyone have some good suggestions on good drupal meeting places?

I find myself with a little free time over the next 3 weeks or so, and I'm thinking one or two nights a week, I may post a notice here and head out for some mobile drupal hacking and poking.

I'm in the clear lake area, but I'd be willing to head up into town a few times, if any of you are interested.

Someone mentioned valhalla on the Rice campus. Is that an option for non-students?

It is an auction site for bucking bulls. I used the ecommerce module and modified the ec auction sub-module liberally. I learned alot, and think Drupal's biggest strength is its flexibility. I will definitely develop more sites using Drupal.

Critiques, suggestions, and questions are welcome.

Also I would like to Thank Geri and Katherine of this list for all their off-list help. I really appreciate the members of this group being willing to share ideas and get better at this.

My New Site is Slow :-(

arindamghatak794 — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 00:13:52 +0000

Hey guys,

This is a new site (myresearchfunds) I created to help university professors connect with the industry and get funding. However, the site seems to be a little slow. One reason could be the server perhaps (its on a shared host by networksolutions.com) or perhaps there are too many modules being employed. Are there any other reasons a site could be slow (there isn't too much traffic as of now).

If you guys can have a look and let me know how you find it, that'll be great. Any criticism is wholeheartedly welcome :-)

Thanks.

Topic for meeting/discussion?

Katherine_D — Wed, 30 May 2007 23:08:05 +0000

Does anyone have a suggestion or a specific problem to address? I suspect we could all benefit from some meetings, and it might even be fun!

I'd love to organize something for June or July, but I think a topic would be a good start.

Any suggestions for location?

Hi Houstonians,
I am new(bie) to Drupal. I have a fastrack web project that I thought Drupal would save me time on. Then I read the 'pro drupal development book' and realized customizing may be a project unto itself. Im interested in anybody that is willing to let me bounce ideas off, ask questions and advice, and maybe even hire for tutoring or development if I get desperate. Living in the Houston Heights.

Thanks,
Bruce

Hi there. I'm a rising Junior at Rice University and I have recently gotten into Drupal. I am using it to create a new website for the Student Association. The site should be up and running in the next few days at http://sa.rice.edu . I might be interested in a Houston meetup of some sort. There are plenty of good places to meet on campus if people are interested in that.
