I liked that each speaker had a short stint on their topic, and things moved along at a good pace. Starting off with your presentation provided a nice segue into the rest of the morning topics.<br /> I was also quite impressed with some of the sites shown later, both in design and content. The judicial site that Brian showed really opened my eyes to the power of Drupal when it comes to tying data together in different ways. Too bad we didn’t see something like that when we were shopping for editorial front end systems for newpapers at my last job!</p> <p>The sites that Brandon (I think) showed were great to display what can be done graphically to move away from a basic Drupal template.</p> <p>You made a good point that once you learn Drupal, you can’t unlearn it, and go back to help others. It’s frustrating to be at the other end of things, trying to learn and get up to speed, but after attending the conference, I have much more respect for what can be done once one gets past the learning curve, and more desire to get to that point.<br /> ---</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/wisconsin">Wisconsin</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10533#comments Drupal drupal camp training Central Illinois DUG Chicago Wisconsin Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:11:50 +0000 smerrill@drupal.org 10533 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10452 <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> We have much more information about our BU event on May 2nd.

While everyone is familiar with businesses that focus on creating non-free proprietary software, the same cannot be said for those who specialize in developing and supporting FLOSS software, and an Open Culture. By attending Flourish, you will get an opportunity to see how using, creating, and supporting FLOSS software can enhance your career, your business, and academic aspirations. Come and Flourish!</p> <p>Flourish 2008 will feature influential and technical speakers, social events, an exhibition area, a development competition and more. Attendees will have the opportunity to network and socialize with the Chicago open source community as well as people from other areas of the country. This year we are expecting about 400 attendees. We are hoping that you can be one of them.</p> <p>We hope to see you there at the Flourish 2008 Conference on April 4th and 5th at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). </p></blockquote> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/wisconsin">Wisconsin</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10181#comments Marketing Central Illinois DUG Chicago Marketing of Drupal Wisconsin Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:03:05 +0000 blakehall 10181 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10171 <p>Hi There,</p> <p>Just saw this post on ycombinator: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=147424" title="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=147424">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=147424</a></p> <p>I'm not in Chicago, but I figured the Chicago Drupaleros would like to know about it.</p> <p>Here's what it says:<br /> Anyone up for a web application framework rumble?</p> <p>We're throwing an open source conference at University of Illinois at Chicago called Flourish (<a href="http://www.flourishconf.com" title="http://www.flourishconf.com">http://www.flourishconf.com</a>).

Once mentioned that our university webmaster was looking at Drupal, and I immediately began to espouse the benefits of Drupal. (Several of the Slane College sites use Drupal, with several more on the way.)</p> <p>I mentioned that I'd be willing to help them plan such an implementation, and then someone asked if I could show a few people around Drupal, and maybe do a little training.</p> <p>In the spirit of the Drupal community, I asked if Bradley could instead sponsor a DrupalCamp. My contacts in IT seemed very receptive to the idea, and said that we could get some labs and some food. We also have a few local multimedia shops who might be able to sponsor anything else that was needed. Bradley has a wireless campus, A/V equipment, and nice labs.</p> <p>My current schedule and the BU academic schedule will necessitate that this happen in mid-May once final exams are done, and everyone is quite a bit freer. So what do you think, everyone? I think there would be value in having one track full of lower-level sessions designed for beginners, so that we can teach Bradley staff and anyone else who's curious about Drupal some things and get them over the first few humps of the learning curve. (I'd love to see the same kind of sessions as we had at DrupalCampWI: How to contribute, how to do podcasts, using the big contrib modules, theming, etc.)</p> <p>At the same time, we are lucky in that we could get KarenS, Brian and myself, Crell, or any number of people to also do a track of advanced sessions, but I think it would be great to have one full track for the new or very inexperienced user.</p> <p>Let me know what you think, but I am very excited at this opportunity, not just because it looks like most of BU might move to Drupal, but also because we have a chance here to use our nice facilities to get a lot of people involved and up to speed.</p> <p>Steven 'Sven' Merrill<br /> <a href="http://www.cascadingstyle.net/" title="http://www.cascadingstyle.net/">http://www.cascadingstyle.net/</a><br /> <a href="http://multimedia.bradley.edu/bio/admin" title="http://multimedia.bradley.edu/bio/admin">http://multimedia.bradley.edu/bio/admin</a></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/chicago">Chicago</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/9056#comments Central Illinois Chicago DrupalCamp Peoria training Central Illinois DUG Chicago Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:32:20 +0000 smerrill@drupal.org 9056 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/9033 <p>In my continuing effort to turn all of you into librarians, I've got a new screencast up at my site with the awesome title, 'Creating a Library Database Page with Drupal':</p> <p><a href="http://chicagolibrarian.com/node/262" title="http://chicagolibrarian.com/node/262">http://chicagolibrarian.com/node/262</a></p> <p>It's for a talk I'm giving at the end of the month.

Instead of using "snippets", I was able to define pretty much everything in Views. My Content Types this time round -- 'Press Release', 'Article from the Media', 'Blog Post', etc. -- take full advantage of CCK. Formerly I used Flexinode.</p> <p>Another big improvement was using ImageCache. Basically Campaign Staff can now add images to any content type. They can also designate any node as "spotlight" for the 'In Focus' section on the front page.</p> <p>As far as theming goes, I really didn't have any problems converting my original graphic design to a customized theme using baseline files from the Foundation Theme. I just created "regions" for all the divs and then added them to the template file.</p> <p>I still have a few tweaks to make. My current challenge is seeing if we can somehow use the (overly complicated) CiviEvents for our Events management.

I'll be giving an introduction to it at the offices of the Metropolitan Library System in Chicago on Friday, 2/29, 1:30-4:30. (Yes, leap year day!)</p> <p>I'll first go over the basics of the system -- the good, the bad, and the buggy -- in the context of open source software.
