Who are Yinz?
Lets find out who we are in the Pittsburgh Area. Everyone share a little about how you are using Drupal. Post your information as a comment to this posting and update it every few months as your interests and abilities change. Here is who I am.
My first site is http://Brain2Behavior.com I am using this as supplemental support for the classes I teach.
I teach Psychology at Robert Morris University and am also a certified massage therapist.
Knowledge of Drupal: Started in December 2007. Able to do multisites using subdomains, symlinks, and independent databases. Comfortable using contributed modules.
Knowledge of php: Can copy and paste someone else's code.
Drupal Version: 6.1 Since I am just learning, I decided to learn version 6 and will learn the Contributed Modules as they become available in 6.
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Preferred Browser: Firefox 3
Hosting site: ace-host.net, pHp 5.2, MySQL 4.1 cPanel access for maintenance and CyberDuck.app for ftp
Future plans:
Social Networking, Organic Groups, Ecommerce.
Learn how to use .htaccess instead of symlinks for multisite.
Begin learning theming using the Zen Theme.
Learn how to have one piece of content appear on multiple pages. (I want to have the boiler plate parts of my class syllabi at one location then merge them with the class/semester specific pieces of the syllabi.)
Make it possible for students to edit their own Book from a template. Only that one user has access to modify it but anyone can read it.
Learn Views and CCK.
Hi - I'm Fen n'at
I'm new to Pittsburgh, having just moved to Mt Lebanon from San Francisco to escape the bad schools (I have a 6-year-old), outrageous real estate prices (I bought a house here for what a friend in SF paid for a 1-car garage) and the beautiful weather (hey - I actually like seasons). I've been programming forever (I sold my first program in '69 and got on the 'net in '75) and am now involved in the OpenID world as a member of the OASIS XRI technical committee. I believe people should own their data and be able to enjoy personalization while maintaining any degree of privacy that they wish.
My day job is working for CivicActions where I support the technical infrastructure and manage the QA department. I've been with them for 4 years but - though we are a Drupal shop - I am just now learning Drupal. CivicActions is a values-driven organization in that we only accept work from clients that we feel are helping to make the world a better place. We are 100% virtual with no office and have over 30 contractors in (I believe the current count is now) 8 time zones. It's a great group of dedicated people and I love working there (here!). And I look forward to learning Drupal.
