PH Drupalist please come
Hi Guys, I was invited by Ruben to joing this group during the PH Google TechTalk. I've been using and developing on Drupal for 3 years now and I always felt the only one worshiping Drupal here in PH. Hehe.
Please check out the PHP Everywhere Conference where I will attempt to install scratch and create a new web application using Drupal in 10 minutes!
Welcome to the PH Drupal Group!!!
Mabuhay rpfilomeno!
Welcome sa Drupal Group nating mga Filipino. Medyo busy lang ang mga katropa natin sa kanilang mga projects kaya siguro bihira na silang makapagpost.
It's very nice to know na dumadami ang bilang natin. Just like you I'm also new to the group.
Teka, 10 minutes ba kamo? Kaya ko in 3 minutes tops. (dare daw ba...)

Hmmm... I think I recognize you, Roger
You must be Roger from IT_Specialist@yahoogroups.com 'no? Your name looks familiar. It's nice to see we're going through the same groups. Welcome to wonderful world of the PhDrUG.
Wrt to the 10 minutes-3 minutes contest, I can name that tune in 1 note.
http://loloyd.net/, http://loloyd.com/
Sablay yun 10min demo
Sumablay ako sa demo. Wahaha.
Had a problem with Xampp at the last minute plus the Hotel net is down. LOL
Ill stick to video demos for conferences O_o
Loloy! Its-a-smol-world-after-all :D
Waa Loloy, nice to see you here ^_^ Its da same me.
Susme naman from scratch yun e tsaka e-explain ko pa sa audience ano ginagawa ko. Balak ko na nga magkunsulta sa speech therapist para bumilis pagsalita ko para di sumubra sa 10 minutes. Kung pede lang sa sabihin "o yan, tapus na. RTFM nalaaaaang." LOL
fighting spirit
Yakang-yaka. Good luck sa presentation. Mukha namang hindi mo na kailangang mag-accelerated speech. lol.
Uhmm, may fee ba ang admission?
Marckee for Short
Event Fees
Since its a big event (in Crowne Regency Hotel) there is a fee around 1000 pesos I think, you can check out the posts at http://www.phpugph.com/talk/index.php/topic,3009.0.html
But there is a weekly (every Saturdays) Technical Meeting at Ortigas which is free! Sadly I haven't attended one yet because of my work schedule. Hopefully by next year I have more free time to talk about Drupal, it would be nice to have a series of tech sessions too since most of our members are web developers and haven't tried Drupal yet. Like Loloy said, with Drupal he can name the tune in one note, every web development time would be cut by more than 80% off using it.
May pupunta kaya from the group?
BTW, http://www.phpugph.com/talk/index.php/topic,3009.0.html requires login. Naku, ano kaya nangyari sa mga Drupalers natin d2 at hindi na sila nakakavisit? Di ko tuloy alam kung kelan nila gustong magmeet-up ulit, or kung may nagbabalak pumunta sa PHP event na ito.

More reason why we advocate Drupal
Yep, the group uses a forum app and that's why I'm promoting Drupal on the group. The ACL feature should be very useful.
Re: PHP Dev Summit
Hi Marc
Im going to the PHP Dev Summit (I registered--pero di ko pa nakuha confirmation email). Anyone else who want to meet there (may bayad na Php 1000)? Update tayo para sa next steps para sa mga meetup natin.
Sana regular yung sharing ng experiences with Drupal. Learned a lot the last time around. I can always volunteer our office or we can just meet informally sa mga kainan/inuman.
Salamat!
+1
I'd also be interested to see ITG's best practices on Drupal.
Can't attend the PHP Dev Summit though.
http://loloyd.net/, http://loloyd.com/
Mukhang masarap umattend
Mukhang ngang maganda yung event. Saan bibili ng ticket?
Another question (pasingit lang ha...), sino ba satin ang magoorganize nang next meet-up?
Masarap nga kung sakali na may regular meeting tayo para talagang mapaganda ang Drupal drive sa Pinas.
Lahat ng nasa Drupal PH group ay within Metro Manila?
Salamuch,

Regular meetup
If there is a place who is willing to let us hold tech talks for free, Im in!
Also I'll ask PHPUGPH when is their next schedule of the tech talks (they have a free place to use at OffShoring Inc office in Ortigas) so I could invite you guys to promote Drupal. The talk I gave during the PHP Conference didn't cover the details but it got their interest when I said one of the key goals that Drupal can address is eliminate the programmer. LOL
Plano namin pumunta :) 3
Plano namin pumunta :) 3 tech from Dig It All.. Kita kita tayo dun..

Newbie here
roger,
add na ako dito sa group nyo...tulungan mo ako mag PHP at drupal...please. c",)
Cheers.
Welcome!
Dude,
Thanks for the interest. Maybe we can do an intro to module programming on one of the monthly tech meets (kelan nga ba naka schedule?). I think yung best is try installing Drupal first and play around with creating pages, blog posts and forums.
Then i can teach you CCK and Views, Themes, then Module programming with hooks.
