• Changing some of the text and links in headers and footers
• Adding custom contact forms
• 301 redirects

Just wanted to post this event that I found out about through the Triangle LINUX Users Group

Sean Watson, netCorps, Technology Consultant, will provide a general overview of several of the popular content management systems and will lead a discussion of the pros/cons of each. Participants will:

1. Gain an understanding of when a CMS is better than a custom built/custom programmed static website and when it's not.

2. Gain an understanding of why a proprietary hosted CMS solution is not usually a good idea.

I thought this would be fun for people in and around the area.

I will be hosting a tour of our colo facility and hosting infrastructure located in Asheville, NC

Have you ever wondered what goes on at a web hosting company? Wondered about what the inside of a colocation facility looks like? Ever wished you were hosted somewhere where the company was happy to show you around the server room?

Gayatri Erlandson and I are having a Drupal work party on Thursday at Lotus Lodge in Candler. If you want to meet other Drupal users, talk about Drupal, explore co-working with Drupal users, solve some problems, brainstorm, or just have dinner with us, come between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. We'll start with some show and tell on our Drupal projects, then share a pot of soup starting around 6. (Let us know if you're a vegetarian so we can accommodate.) If you want something with your soup, bring it. Otherwise, just let us know you are coming.

RSVP to get directions.

I'm forwarding this message from the NTEN Drupal group. It looks like a good place to be listed. -- Judy 1/16/09

Esteemed Colleagues,

Time is running out to be included in Idealware's comprehesive CMS Service Provider Directory. All companies, organizations or individuals that advise on or implement CMSes for nonprofit organizations are invited to submit their contact information to be included in the "WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and Plone: Comparing Open Source CMSs for Nonprofits."

This is an effective and very affordable way to reach community members in search of CMS solutions.

Robert Half Technology has a new opening for a talented Drupal Developer!

If you can create, cultivate, and edit Drupal modules and integrate them with an existing Drupal CMS, we have a great opportunity for you. The chosen candidate will be working for a stable, growing company using their object oriented Drupal, PHP, and MySQL experience.

Have you used Drupal themes before but felt overwhelmed when it came time to customize the design? Does the word "theming" make you feel a bit panicked? Or, are you an expert Drupal developer who thinks up improvements to the PHPTemplate module in your sleep?

If so, please come to our next Drupal Meetup at the Cary West Regional Library. Our presenter will be Coalmarch Graphic Designer Sheena Donnelly.

I just arranged to spend the weekend up at Jim Tarvid's house (just across the Virginia/NC border) to work on my Drupal site. Last July I went from zero to a basic website and received a good foundation of skills - over the course of a weekend. Similar weekend trainings cost thousands and don't give you such close attention. Jim's generous enough that he barely covers his expenses and gives away a lot of his time. If you're interested in joining us, contact Jim.

Are there any Drupaleers in or around the Charlotte area that would be interested in starting a regular (monthly?) meet-up?

Thanks to Carrboro Co-Working for volunteering to host our December meetup! Our topic is going to be "creating a Drupal theme."

Hello everyone, I have only been working with drupal for about 3 month now. As you all know the learning curve for drupal can be like a roller coaster ride! I am wondering if there are any of you that live in the Asheville, NC area that would love to get together and talk, play and eat drupal? I would love to make friends with people that know what the heck I'm talking about!

Hello A2Drupal!
I currently help the UM student chapter of Habitat for Humanity by providing support for their website (http://umhabitat.org). I set up a drupal cms for the group, and the site functions well for their purposes. Unfortunately, I have very little artistic ability, and even less graphic design sense. Therefore, the site uses the standard Drupal theme. Would anyone in this group know a design firm (or individual) who may be willing to donate their time to develop a theme for the site? Please feel free to email me at eric.roeder@gmail.com. Thanks for your help!

Just north of the North Carolina border. Details at http://groups.drupal.org/node/12103

Not exactly sure what everyone would want to see here, so I am open to suggestions.

My main goal is to try and find more drupal users in North Carolina so that the possibility of collaboration of projects is good. Everyone can't always do everything alone, sometimes you do need some help in some way shape or form.

For people that are just starting out with Drupal and would like a good place to start, then you really should check out the Drupal Dojo group. It is geared for both total newbies as well as the experienced Drupal users.
