Ottawa

Welcome to the Drupal Ottawa User Group. We will use this group to develop the Drupal community in Ottawa, to plan local events (DrupalCamps, informal get-together's, etc.) and to share success stories and planned / completed drupal implementations. Public servants (this is Ottawa after all) interested in deploying bilingual / Common Look & Feel compliant governmental web sites will find colleagues in this group facing the same challenges related to the introduction of drupal in the federal government.

Let us pool our resources to develop the first reusable Government of Canada (GC) Drupal Theme, and share it back with the community!

Drupal Meetup - Views Tips/Tricks

Hey gang,

Not sure what has happened to our local meetups; maybe slowed down over the summer, and maybe not this month due to Montreal DCamp... but..

I wouldn't mind presenting a session on Views for Drupal 6.

For those that don't know Views (aka Views 2) in Drupal 6 has been completely redone from Drupal 5 days.. and IT ROCKS!!! No, seriously, Views2 is by far the most powerful web creation tool on the planet. Even if you were pretty familiar with Drupal 5 Views; you'd really need to see Views2 to get an idea of just how powerful this is.

Governments around the world are pressing to be more innovative in their use
of technology, to be more open to the public, and to do even more with
reduced budgets. And as more and more information is being delivered through
the Internet, there are increasing calls to have that information be secure,
accessible, and readily available.

There is a lot of information to maintain on a Government site. Whether it

Ottawa August Meetup | Theme: Drupal 7 Patchfest (Getting Into Core)

Start: 
2009-08-10 17:30 - 19:30 America/Montreal

In honor of the Drupal 7 feature freeze in September we're focusing the theme for this meetup on D7 patches.

I'm hoping that everyone will come with a laptop with the CVS version of D7 installed locally. Now most of us don't work from this version of Drupal, so I've posted a screencast:

Modules for bilingual Canadian government site?

Any suggestions for language modules for a bilingual (French/English) government site.

So far, I'm thinking the Internationalization (i18n) module is probably all I need but this is a new area for me, so I thought I'd check to see if there's something I'm missing.

Venue Change, RealDecoy has been kindly hosting this event for the last few sessions, but Wirespeak offered up their office in the ByWard Market (78 George St, Suite 2) and in May the weather might be nice to head out to a patio afterward.

Please sign up for this event.
