Let's bring together our plans for the intro section in this wiki page.</p> <p>Right now we have a lot of discussion at <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/13828" title="http://groups.drupal.org/node/13828">http://groups.drupal.org/node/13828</a> , and it would be great if people could start adding items from that thread into this wiki page, indicating <em>what</em> is being presented, <em>for how long</em>, and by <em>whom</em> so we can hammer out an actual plan :)! Please continue the discussion of specific parts of the session in the comments for this wiki page. Thanks!</p> <p><strong>Please Note:</strong><em>This page is a work in progress. Check back a couple of days before Drupal camp for the final version.</em></p> <h2>Attendees!</h2> <p>Are you a newbie to Drupal wanting to see "what it's all about"? Want to leave Drupal camp with a working install of Drupal running on your machine to play with? Want to get a solid overview of how to set up Drupal, create and configure a basic site, and use some cool modules to add functionality? Then this is where you'll want to be on Saturday.</p> <h3>What you need to do <strong>BEFORE</strong> you come to DrupalCampNYC</h3> <ol> <li>If you bring a laptop (with power cord and extension cable - outlets are in short supply!) you can install Drupal on your computer and follow along with the set up. This is recommended as it means that you'll have something to play with when you've finished the session.</li> <li>Download <a href="http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-6.4.tar.gz">Drupal 6.4</a> to your computer</li> <li>Make sure you have a program that can open .tar.gz files</li> <ol type="a"> <li>For Windows <a href="http://www.sfsu.edu/ftp/win/utils/powarc61.exe">Power&nbsp;Archiver</a> is one freeware option. (Macs and Linux have this ability built-in.)</li> </ol> <li>Download some software - but don't install it - we'll go through that first thing in the morning Saturday. This software lets your computer act like a web server, so we can install Drupal on it.</li> <ol type="a"> <li>For Macs download <a href="http://www.mamp.info/en/download.html">MAMP</a> </li> <li>For Windows download <a href="http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php">WAMPServer</a></li> <ol type="i"> <li>Download the 34 MB Installer file</li> </ol> <li>For Linux download follow the instructions for your distro to setup the AMP components on your machine (Apache, MySQL, and PHP)</li> </ol> <li><a href="#">Download this archive</a> (will make this link work later). This archive has (will have!) all the modules and supporting files that we'll be installing and using. By downloading them before you come to DrupalCamp you ensure that you'll be able to follow along with the presentation even if you have trouble accessing the internet at camp.</li> </ol> <p></p> <h3>Here is the proposed schedule</h3> <p>As with any Barcamp all is subject to change the day of the camp.</p> <table> <tr> <td>What</td> <td>Time (approx.)</td> <td>Presenter</td> <td>Description</td> <tr> <tr> <td>Help Setting up your "AMP" stack (MAMP, WAMPServer, etc.)</td> <td>9 am - 10:30</td> <td>Peter Dowling (winstond), Sam Tresler, anyone else who wants to help out</td> <td>Get help from experienced folks getting your machine ready for "hands on" while you have breakfast!</td> </tr> <tr> <td>What is Drupal?</td> <td>10:30 - 11:30</td> <td>Steven Merril (smerril), Ezra?</td> <td>What is a CMS?

We descend on a bar and have a good time. No expectations, and no restrictions. The common thread is that we all like Drupal. It is assumed we'll wind up talking about it, there is no agenda, no presentations, and no real organization other than showing up at the same place at the same time. I'll be there starting around 7 and we may or may not end at 9.</p> <p>That said, I haven't even chosen a venue, just a time.

In light of the recent discussion about unilateral actions and lack of concern for group process by our current group manager, I find the lack of spell checking, fact checking and input disturbing.</p> <p>what was sent said</p> <blockquote><p>DrupalCamp NYC 5 (<a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/332/drupalcamp" title="http://groups.drupal.org/node/332/drupalcamp">http://groups.drupal.org/node/332/drupalcamp</a>) - It is finally here! Thank you Eric to have put so much effort to make DrupalCamp NYC 5 possible. Those that have been to last year's meetup know how great it was and those that missed it most defnitely should find out. All are welcome. We are quickly approaching the limit of people that we can accomodate. however we do have 2 full days reserved so i am sure we will be able to accomodate the demand between the two days.

What follows is what would have been sent out had the organizers been asked for input.</p> <p>DrupalCamp NYC 5</p> <p>It's time for the second NYC Drupal Camp of 2008. Our last Camp in March was a great success -- Due to popular demand, it seems that Drupal Camp has become a twice-a-year event here in NYC.</p> <p>If you've attended past NYC Drupal Camps you know that it is a weekend long knowledge sharing and training unconference. Drupal Camps are for the novice user, developer or site administrator as well as the more experienced. All are welcome.</p> <p>We have reached the limit of people that we can accommodate. You are welcome to sign up, but any people registering for the event after 4pm Saturday, August 23 should understand that they are on the waiting list.

We ask that posts stay on-topic, and relate to both drupal and New York City.</p> <p>We make this request out of respect for the time of those that belong to the group and for the larger drupal community. The more content in this group/the more emails members get from this group that are not NYC related, the less they will pay attention to the group over time.</p> <p>Beyond that there is an impact on the drupal community at large when we discuss generic hosting or module/drupal questions outside of the most appropriate forum. When people look for this sort of information in the future, they will look in the primary drupal.org forum or in the appropriate group, not here.</p> <p>By posting content where it is on-topic we not only get to discuss issues and get answers, but we do a long-term service to the community at large.</p> <p>As a general guideline:</p> <p>If your post is a question about a general drupal topic, it belongs on the drupal.org forum not in the NYC group.</p> <p>If your post is about a very specific detail of drupal, it belongs either in one of the special interest groups on groups.drupal.org or on the primary drupal.org forums, not in the NYC group.</p> <p>If your post is about an event or issue of direct interest to the NYC community, and only peripherally about drupal, this is the place.</p> <p>If your post is about drupal use by a group, company or project in NYC, this is the place for your post.</p> <p>If you have cross-posted your content to more than a couple groups, it's probably not appropriate for the NYC group.</p> <p>Before you post, ask yourself two questions:<br /> 1: does the topic explicitly relate to NYC (if yes move to q2)<br /> 2: does the topic at least peripherally relate to drupal</p> <p>if the answer to both is yes. post!</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/new-york-city">New York City</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/14218#comments posting guidlines New York City Sat, 23 Aug 2008 19:48:10 +0000 Eric 14218 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/14205 <p>After some contemplation and discussion with others, i realized just how important it is to offer temporary sandboxes for learning basic installation and development. the vision is to allow people to create their own sub domain website such as *.example.com and to be able to practice what ever they need on it.</p> <p>I will list a few features that I personally think are great, and i would love everyone to contribute their ideas on how to make this even better.</p> <p>1) if a user access [non-existing-sub-domain].example.com, they are presented with a signup form that asks the most basic information to enable creating a new sandbox</p> <p>2) once the form is submitted, the user is emailed all the necessary information about the sandbox</p> <p>3) the user should be able to do the following</p> <p>a) have full control over his drupal site on that sub domain</p> <p>b) user will be able to ssh or ftp into his own sandbox to upload files. however he is limited to his sub domain multi-site install folder which is /sites/[mysubdomain].example.com/</p> <p>c) if ssh'd he should be able to access his mysql sandbox and have full control over it up to a point to prevent allowing to take over the full database :-p</p> <p>d) the user should be able to download any module they want from drupal.org and install it on the sandbox to try them out, or theme them or what ever they want. that is the point of the sub domain sandbox.</p> <p>e) The life span of the sandbox is variable. I don’t have a better suggestion on it's length other than 'it is variable' time frame.</p> <p>f) and this one is important user has an option to expedite this but, once the life span of this sandbox runs out the application will archive itself and allow the user to download it to another machine to resume his work. this means that database dump is taken, and all the files from this sandbox are all archived an a single easy to download file which user has the liberty to take with him (email him the link for download) or just leave it be for deletion.</p> <p>This is the overall idea that i had. I am sure this raises a lot of security issues, however i cannot answer them. That is why i would like everyone's input on this matter and how we can make this better.</p> <p>This has countess number of applications to it. the easiest to spot is to allow people to create sandboxes to practice on, right at a meet up, or at drupalcamp. then take what they made home and practice some more on it. I’m in love with this idea, I hope you guys will too.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/new-york-city">New York City</a></div> New York City Sat, 23 Aug 2008 01:19:55 +0000 litwol@drupal.org 14205 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/14196 <p>I've just spoke to David Veith from <a href="http://www.hostmysite.com/" title="http://www.hostmysite.com/">http://www.hostmysite.com/</a> (~10 mins before writing this post)</p> <p>He expressed his interest in sponsoring NYC DUG hosting needs in return for some exposure and experience hosting and configuring drupal sites. Our group has needs for reliable hosting; we need to host our meetup and drupalcamp videos, pictures and other material that we produce. Which is ALOT of content already that we have nowhere to house.</p> <p>To start us off he asked me to email him the basic configuration we would like to start with and he'll set us up.</p> <p>So lets discuss what everyone thinks they would like to be able to do? Keep in mind that this will be group's hosting, so think what the group would need.</p> <p>here is what i would like to do for the group:<br /> 1) Provide up to 6 months back worth of meetup Raw video footage (or more if need be)- Why would anyone need such a thing? well to be frank, i do not believe i have the time nor desire to edit a video file of some one else's presentation. while i enjoyed listening to it, i think i will only work on my own to present it in best light. because of my time and desire limitations, i offer everyone the raw files (along with how-to tutorials) to be able to edit the video files with their own (or some one else's) presentations/content. the power is in your hands.<br /> 2) Video streaming right from the site - yes, hostmysite wants to advertise their own solution as alternative to youtube or something, but that doesnt hurt us any, they get what they want and we get what we need.<br /> 3) user ssh and FTP accounts - due to the number of power users in our group (know what to do with servers etc etc) i would like everyone to have the power (if they so choose) to help out with the group, therefore giving them sandboxed access (so nothing can be broken) to the server will greatly increase the number of people that can help out with the group management.<br /> 4) our own mail server - as we grow (which we area already doing) the number of discussions also grows on our site. as it was pointed out already, this creates a lot of discussions that not everyone wants to take part of (or even know about). therefore having control over mail server gives us the power to customize mailing lists and mailing filters to sort which user gets which email. very granular control that everyone can enjoy. members can still get all the emails if they so choose.</p> <p>Q: How will we use this hosting so it doesnt damage our existing group site?<br /> A: we will upload all the content to our host, and link to it from the g.d.o/new-york-city discussion pages. I will speak to moshe weitzman to allow integration with more rich content so we can link to more content from the g.d.o site which is hosted on our server.</p> <p>Well, this is just a draft. We can do way more with it than what i outlined. To be setup with the account i will need to send him the basic configuration that we would need to pull this off.<br /> right now i can account for :<br /> 1) 180GB+ space : for the videos and other content we produce<br /> 2) 512MB ram : standard amount ? we probably will never reach that level but its better be safe than sorry<br /> 3) Mailing server: we dont blast too many emails so something basic would suffice.<br /> 4) Fat pipes (throughput and bandwidth limits): we will need large data transfer limit because of the videos that we will be hosting<br /> 5) LAMP stack : linux, apache2, mysql5, php5.2+ : standard stuff for this kind of server<br /> 6) configuration for sandboxed ssh and management accounts: must be sandboxed so people cant break other people's stuff.<br /> 7) .... ?<br /> 8) $$$$ ? (for those that dont get it. this is drupal humor. ignore it)</p> <p>Okey guys. lets hear what you think. please contribute to what you think our configuration should be. I have never specced out a server so the above is purely a guess work. anyone with experience is strongly encouraged to step up.</p> <p>Thank you all!</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/new-york-city">New York City</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/14196#comments New York City Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:03:28 +0000 litwol@drupal.org 14196 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/14181 <p>I have some programming background but would like to learn php enough to become a developer instead of just a dabbler.

Things work best when a group, individual or company agree to take on the cost of a breakfast or lunch.</p> <p>Ideally, sponsors pay the vendor directly, making it easier to account for the money. If a sponsor is unable to do so, paying by check at least a week before the event is fine.</p> <p>By sponsoring this event you are helping to enable a community-centric skills and knowledge sharing event.</p> <p>Events like this also help to strengthen the NYC Drupal community by fostering connections between developers as well as between developers and end-users.</p> <p>Sponsorship of the event will get your logo on the main event page and displayed in the main room of the event. All sponsors will be publicly thanked the day of the event and at any meal you sponsor.</p> <p>Sponsorship does not guarantee that the workshop you want to give will be scheduled and does not give you a timeslot to make presentation.</p> <p>Here is the breakdown of expected expenses (Figures based on expenses of the last two drupal camps):</p> <ul> <li>Total Goal is approx $1,500 - $3,000.00 (depending on if we print shirts and stickers)</li> </ul> <p>We have $183.22 left from the last Drupal Camp.</p> <p><hr /></p> <p>must have:</p> <ul> <li> <p><strike>Misc. cash expenses (delivery tips, pens, ice, bags, drinks, etc.) : 200</strike> covered by leftover funds and donation from Openflows Community Technology Lab; Other random expenses covered by sponsorship from Democracy In Action and Mayfirst/PeopleLink</p> </li> <li> <p><strike>Breakfast 1st day (bagels &amp; drinks): 300</strike> Covered by sponsorship from The American Physical Society (aps.org)</p> </li> <li> <p><strike>Breakfast 2nd day: 250</strike> covered by sponsorship from Mansueto Ventures</p> </li> <li> <p><strike> Lunch 1st day: 450 </strike> covered by sponsorship from HostMySite.com</p> </li> <li> <p><strike>Lunch 2nd day: 350</strike> covered by sponsorship of Platypus Theory</p> </li> <li> <p><strike>name tags, signage: 15</strike> covered by left-over funds</p> </li> </ul> <p><hr /></p> <p>would be nice, but only after above expenses are covered:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Shirts + Stickers: 1,500</p> </li> <li> <p>there could also be an Open Bar/drinks (first night) but it is not included in the above figures.

(Read the <a href="http://drupal.org/node/280461">announcement</a> at Drupal.org.)

He also attended a <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/11810">media code sprint</a> in Portland, helping to create SimpleTests for the <a href="http://drupal.org/node/142995">hook_file patch</a> for multimedia handling in Drupal core.</p> <p><strong>Prerequisites:</strong></p> <p>An interest in Drupal and Multimedia. This is geared towards the beginner who wants to know what Drupal is capable of, and/or towards someone wanting to know which of the hundreds of media-handling modules is best for their needs.</p> <p><strong>Goals:</strong></p> <p>By the end of the session, we will have covered a broad overview of what's available for Drupal and Multimedia.

This took a long time last time round, and some people already had it, or didn't want to do it - they were happy just watching.</p> <p>So - <strong>first request</strong>: I'd love to have some help from perhaps two people who are confident in setting up MAMP, and ideally someone who knows how to do the equivalent on Linux.</p> <p>Then the second and main part of the intro session would be much the same as last time - how to install drupal, basic configuration, creating content, managing users, and then how to install and use a few of the main contrib modules - CCK and Views.</p> <p>I'd love to have suggestions on key things to include and any other improvements on last time's session.</p> <p>The other difference is that we have all the rooms available both days, so the Intro Session will probably run on the Sunday alongside the hackathon/code sprints/etc. The intro session takes most of the day, and I wouldn't want to take away the space from the normal DrupalCamp sessions on Saturday (and also I want to go to as many of those as possible!) Does anyone feel that this is a really bad idea?</p> <p><strong>Second request</strong>: I'd love to have a few people to help out with this intro session - there's always people having problems with different steps, and Robbie and Peter and others were a huge help last time. You wouldn't need to help the whole day - even a few hours would be wonderful.</p> <p>Cheers!</p> <p>Thomas</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/new-york-city">New York City</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/13828#comments barcamp Introduction DrupalCamp DrupalCamp5 New York City Fri, 08 Aug 2008 16:28:22 +0000 tom_o_t 13828 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/13818 <p>Before the last drupal camp, we discussed using our drupal group for the next one, which now is around the corner.</p> <p>Unless there are objections to moving away from the barcamp wiki to groups.drupal.org, I will upload some content in the next day or two and get things moving.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/new-york-city">New York City</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/13818#comments DrupalCamp New York City Fri, 08 Aug 2008 02:03:08 +0000 Eric 13818 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/13777 <p>Due to limitations of groups.drupal.org we are unable to experience rich applications which are available to the rest of the web.</p> <p>To minimize our group's communication gap and to bring the group closer together i give you live IRC chat from your browser: <a href="http://nycdrupal.org/content/irc-drupalnyc-public-channel" title="http://nycdrupal.org/content/irc-drupalnyc-public-channel">http://nycdrupal.org/content/irc-drupalnyc-public-channel</a></p> <p>To use this resource you dont need to register nor provide any identifying information.</p> <p>I hope to see more of you guys online soon!</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/new-york-city">New York City</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/13777#comments chat irc live chat web chat web irc Features New York City Wed, 06 Aug 2008 18:02:28 +0000 litwol@drupal.org 13777 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/13764 <p>I am looking for a Drupal develper for my company, we are not recruiters.

I'm doing so in the hope that it will help people understand how we got to where we are, and help people think about where we should go from here.</p> <p>history of the NYC Drupal group:</p> <p>The NYC Drupal group has its roots in the first two DrupalCamps, organized primarily (if I remember right) by NoNeckNoel.</p> <p>After the second drupalcamp, the meetups were started by Jacob, and held at MNN.</p> <p>Based on discussion in those meetings, it was decided that the NYC Drupal community should be organized and coordinated publicly via a group on groups.drupal.org. The goal was to ensure that anyone could have a voice and to keep a high level of transparency in how things were done.</p> <p>Then came Drupal Camp 3, mainly organized by Jacob</p> <p>Jacob was leaving town -- moving to China -- and he realized that it would be better to have someone local run the g.d.o site. The role of site manager was always thought of as a burden, not as a position of leadership.</p> <p>There was some confusion afterwards about the difference between facilitating community and being in authority/leadership role. But we all made it through the debate without anyone feeling the need to splinter the group and as a result the group continued to grow.</p> <p>The responsibility of the nyc g.d.o group passed to Marketanomoly/adam and he did an amazing job of keeping the posts on-topic, experimenting with new features of the g.d.o site, communicating with other local organizers and the g.d.o maintainers to make g.d.o a better resource for everyone. He also did a great job on meetups.</p> <p>Even if I stopped attending the meetups because they had moved to a corporate location requiring pre-registration and security, I continued to feel a part of the group as a whole.</p> <p>Drupal Camp 4<br /> There was a debate about moving drupal camp organizing to a separate site. The primary person advocating for the new site seemed to think that Jacob had put him into a position of authority (a position that did not exist). This led to some heated debate. When the group made it clear that there was consensus for keeping the organizing within community controlled infrastructure, the primary advocate of a new site stepped away from organizing the camp, so Adam, Sam and I took on the task.</p> <p>Adam was too overloaded with work and his life (new baby!) so he went looking for someone to take over running the group and organizing the meetups. He took his responsibility to the group very seriously and made sure things would continue. This is how meetup coordination and management of g.d.o site moved to oleg/litwol.</p> <p>As others have pointed out, Oleg has done a commendable job keeping the meetups happening. But, being that he is very new to New York City and the community, I think he has made some mistakes -- out of totally good intentions not malice.</p> <p>Management of the site was never meant to imply leadership. The role of site manager requires someone have the time to deal with spam; the time to keep the posts organized; the motivation to work with the g.d.o crew to improve the functionality of the site for the benefit of our group and all others.</p> <p>This group has a few different facets that should remain separate, not be consolidated under one board or group that acts without communicating with others.</p> <p>There are the meetups; there are the drupal camps; there are more social meetings that some have asked for; these all overlap into what is the larger community that exists as members of the nyc drupal group.</p> <p>It is not hard to post ideas to the group, get feedback and then act. I'd like to see someone give a detailed list of what is not served by the current methodology.</p> <p>Thanks for reading, and let's have this debate so we can all move on and get back to sharing knowledge.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/new-york-city">New York City</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/13763#comments New York City Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:34:05 +0000 Eric 13763 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/13735 <p>Thank you Charles Novik for pointing out this great resource: <a href="http://www.printrunner.com/default.aspx?ID=71" title="http://www.printrunner.com/default.aspx?ID=71">http://www.printrunner.com/default.aspx?ID=71</a><br /> PrintRunner offers services to make us <a href="http://nycdrupal.chipin.com/nyc-drupal-stickers">500 stickers</a> 4"x4" in size in under $100 (not counting shipping costs).</p> <p>I would like to get us authentic new york city drupal user group <a href="http://nycdrupal.chipin.com/nyc-drupal-stickers">stickers</a>.
