Huh? It must be too long and too far for me to notice that the group number now reached the hundredth mark.

Hmm, I hope you're on a celebration mood Wits Suzara and Sudalai! Erm, Pizza naman dyan!

In the spirit of open source, we wish everyone a wonderful stay, whether you're in Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao or anywhere else in the world.

More power to the soon-to-be members #200 and #201.

Which reminds me, I forgot my membership number...

Hi, i'm newbie to this group, though been around Drupal since 5.0.
I would just like to congratulate Marc.Robinsone for his awesome presentation of Drupal here in Cebu at the just concluded 1st Philippine Open Source Summit. He really did a great job that even a "manang" got so much interested. I for one had all my body cells fully awakened what with the sleep-inducing afternoon aided by the previous so-so sessions. Sayang I was not able to take a pic.

KUDOS!

EdCazini

I hope that all is well with everyone. Our prayers are all. with you. Ingat lang po lahat.

Anyone interested in a Drupal Code Sprint?

Next month I'll be in Manila to attend my cousin's wedding. While in town, I thought it would be fun to organize a Code Sprint. The purpose of this Sprint will be to build a web site for a local non-profit organization...and get to know the local Drupal community in the process.

Basically we would meet up to design, build and deploy a website from scratch. After several hours (and a pizza break in-between), we would have a finished, fully functional, Drupal-powered site.

We just finished the League of Corporate Foundations 2008 Conference Website.

The design was by Ideals Creative and we implemented it on Drupal.

Theme was heavily modified litejazz by roopletheme.com and we used CCK and Views a lot plus a splash of Lightbox.

Good Day,

I want to start up a webdev outsourcing company sa Pinas (Makati preferably) using only Drupal (not 100% sure). This company will cater to small businesses, goverment agencies, educational institution, etc. etc.  in the U.S. The company will be employee-owned.

I am still working out the details. Now I am looking for Collaborators/Partners and not employees. I am looking for goal-driven people, responsible, etc. etc.. to start working out the detail and partnership and the future. If you are interested please contact me.

Thank you,

Mark

We are converting a CMS that is used in 800 US schools, from Perl to Drupal and need a couple of people. We currently have offices in Cebu City, Davao and Naga, but working remotely is okay.

Since this is a "product", then this is an ongoing job.

Please send resume/letter of interest to Mark@dwebsite.com

Hi!
I am looking for great drupal developers, particularly those with experience of (or willingness to learn) implementing complex designs and e-commerce. Please see my job posting here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/12387 .

I am writing here because I want to create the best working environment possible. Basically, what I'm offering is remote work, mostly for international clients. However we're often in the Philippines (Pampanga) so some actual meetings are also likely. We usually communicate via IRC and e-mail.

If you were to work remotely, what would be your biggest obstacles?

Hi, I have a need for a clever individual to implement designs into Drupal, and/or possibly other cms's. You will have to know how to implement complex designs in Drupal, including (but absolutely not limited to):
- tabled design and table less design / css
- pictures that line up beside each other
- rounded corners
- variable width
There is a possibility of a steady flow of projects if the results are good.
You'll get the chance to work with exciting international projects, freedom to work when you want (as long as you stay within the deadline of course) and good compensation.

Do you want to build new entertainment experiences on the web?

Libros Media Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and we are looking for a full-time contractor to further develop our flagship language learning products and web sites found at www.librosmedia.com. Our products are used by thousands of customers in 52 countries, and is one of the leading products in the category.

We are seeking a reliable and skilled complete site developer to take our web sites to the next level. We are looking to develop a long-term relationship with the right candidate. We want someone who can become a permanent part of our International team.

I've created a new module...am still waiting for Drupal.org to accept it...

Nodepoint is the same with userpoint module, but this module allows nodes to have points...

The pratical use of this is when a user gets a service on a certain node his userpoint will be deducted based on the nodepoints of the node...

let me know your toughts pinoys... Im working on new customized modules for BMF (Cebu-based)...
Next i will create its nodepoint services (XMLRPC or JSON servers). Any body got an idea on this?

We just launched www.bakitsira.net a new drupal site aimed for Filipinos. It's a community site for posting your complaints on defective products and services. I'll be posting a more detailed write-up soon, in the meantime enjoy the possibilities drupal provide.

Here is a more detailed write-up.

We recently launched www.bakitsira.net using drupal. We have been creating drupal sites but this is our first try to create a community site where content is user-generated.

I started to use Drupal about 14 weeks 3 days ago as depicted in my account in Drupal.org. I found our Pinoy group because of this post.

I join because I want to keep in touch with people of my blood. I am not an IT professional and I don't have any proper training in website development. I started to build static pages last October 2007 in free hosting as a hobby, but this hobby turns into passion. My stay at free hosting gave me some opportunities to learn the basic HTML and some CSS. Being my passion, I go with the paid hosting at Yahoo! in November 2007 then run my static pages with my very own domain. How proud am I with my own domain.

Hi All,

in the company where I work we tried to use Joomla for our portals/websites, but we
quickly stuck with Joomla and mainly because it's a single website product and
anything multi-sites related cannot be implemented there easily. So, now we are
considering Drupal as a possible alternative.

I'm not familiar with Drupal so, I would really appreciate if could give me some
answer. Okay, these are my questions:

1. When we have multiple websites single Drupal code based, how is this organized?
   Is the code kept in single directories and other websites just have the symlinks

Hi guys, we have been invited by the organizers of the Philippine Open Source Summit in Cebu to participate. They said that "thru your group we could extend substantial discounts or even "complimentary delegates tickets" to your members who might be coming from far-away in the other areas of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

We are currently setting up 15-20 Drupal sites for our Asia Pacific partners. We plan to purchase 15-20 Drupal templates and we URGENTLY need a Manila (Philippines) based Drupal developer/programmer who can integrate the new themes to our existing Drupal setup (with modules) in Singapore. We would prefer the person to be in our office using an assigned desktop computer. Attractive renumeration package and travel possibilities await.

Send your resumes/CVs to: oliver@kuydigital.com

Hi guys, I submitted a proposal for GSOC and its now approved. We have 3 mentors and 1 student but were hoping Drupal developers from PH will also join!

Please support "Re-write Drupal in OOP"

Abstract:
Adopting Object-Oriented Programming for Drupal is basically one of the oldest issue that existed between module developers; It basically a battle between simplicity and efficiency vs code management. As much as I'm convinced to support simplicity; as a module developer, its quite annoying to encounter namespace collision because of Drupal's non-OOP feture.

I am am looking for module like :

• calendar
• audio
• video
• magazine
• good photo gallery (drag and drop... meron ba nito?)

Im using drupal 6 - localhost.

(ngayon pa lang uli magsisimula)
salamat sa mga nag-email sa kin...

We will also be hosting a booth as part of the CeBIT Exhibition to educate and promote Drupal to businesses, government, and individual attendees of the exhibition.

Hello all:

I'm using contemplate to layout the CCK fields for node contents. I'd like to know if there is any way to position CCK fields above the node title. I've noticed that contemplate positions CCK fields only within the body or teaser.

Many thanks, Jun D!
Life is like a box of chocnut, you never know if its durog or not

Please invite students you know to start getting ready for Google Summer of Code. Students get to contribute to open source projects with a generous grant from Google. Better if they contribute to Drupal. There may also be members here who are students, so you're very welcome to join.

Read the FAQ: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html

There's already a public site on GSoC for Drupal, but that will be announced later :)

If you have additional questions, you can post here. Thanks!

Hi all,

A research group from Ateneo is inviting interested developers in a
focused group discussion (FGD) on FOSS development.

Topics will include the following:

1. Software/Deployment stack usage (databases, web servers, os). Why
   use FOSS platform?

2. Using FOSS and Advocacy efforts.

3. FOSS communities.

No formal/strict defined format. It will be a dinner with some
questions and answers revolving on the above topics.

They would like to have two groups with at most 9 members;
Freelancers and employed developers using FOSS development tools.

Wow, lumalaki tayo! We now have 15 new members. Welcome to all the new members!

It looks like it's time for another meet up, don't you think? Busy ba ang mga tao?

Btw: off topic and shameless plug. My wife and I just completed a podcast called MacSwitched. It's for those who just switched to Macs, are using Macs now, or are thinking of switching.

We'll be inserting Drupal news in our next podcast. If you have announcements that you want inserted, just drop us a note.

Paano at ano ang mga requirements para makapagsimula ako sa drupal.
OK lang ba sa mismong computer muna i-save ang lahat
and later na lang ang hosting.

Mac gamit ko......nalilito lang ako.

Salamat.

Guys,

My site Filipinowriter.com is not displaying properly. Theme/layout not showing. Do you think the site's been hacked? Happened to me once and we just restored the site. Was hoping there's another solution so that there's less likelihood of losing data.

Thanks in advance!

We are posting another review of Drupal 6. We included a few features which we think will greatly add to Drupal's functions.

Read the first part here look-at-drupal-6-core-features.html
Read the second part here look-at-drupal-6-core-features-2.html

A demo site to get a feel will be availabe at CPU's site.

I wrote a review of Drupal installation and how easy it's become, complete with screenshots (and a screencast later). Best for convincing people to switch to Drupal! Posted this in my Drupal blog

Congratulations to Rick of CPU for getting recognition from Linux Journal for his work in developing Karapatan-Monitor.

Here is a link to the excerpts of the written article. We are definitely in the company of outstanding Filipino developers. Keep up the good work!

The open source community is celebrating the release of Drupal's easiest version ever: Drupal 6 [http://drupal.org/drupal-6.0.] This version fixes many of the annoyances and limitations of Drupal.

Among the improvements are easier installation, with carefully guided steps. Drag and drop administration, including the much-awaited drag-drop taxonomy administration, openID and an improved workflow module (via custom triggers). Drupal themes are now easier to customize too.
