Great American Hackathon
This looks great - I wonder if Brillobox is available?
From: http://www.sunlightlabs.com/hackathon09/ :
On the weekend of December 12-13th, we're holding an open, distributed, nationwide hackathon to develop open source applications to open government. The goal is to solve as many open government problems as we can with as many hackathons across the country as possible. We've teamed up with Mozilla, Google, Redhat and Fedora, who will all be working with their developers to make things happen, and we've teamed up with Open Source for America and Code for America —there are opportunities for everyone to make a difference.

Free Lance Web Design | The Military Family Network
Hello Pittsburgh Drupal wranglers:
Our company, a network supporting service members and military families, is looking for someone to repair/redo a Drupal website that we have in progress. Our tech person is not up to speed on all the neat gadgets Drupal offers and suggested we farm out some projects.
Our wish list is to work with someone in the Pittsburgh area on a personal level - "We would want to meet you and are very interested in your ideas."
We would like to complete this project ASAP so that we can get our new site up and running.
Allow visitors to a site to make custom collections of photos...
What modules would I use to build a website that ...
- has 100s of photos that can only be added and modified by an admin [i.e. not the majority of users]
- allows users to find and group photos into their own custom made collections
- leave and come back to view their own collections as well as collections made my others
- edit their own collections
- then share their collections with others
Thanks,

Sept / Oct Meetup
Is anyone interested in getting together for a meetup sometime late Sept. to early Oct?
I've secured some space and a projector we can use at Pitt Law School (Oakland, right across Forbes from the "O"). If you guys are game, lets pick a date and get together...
CINDUG: Using the menu tree in the theme
I have a site I am working on where I need to change the page banner based on which part of the primary menu tree the page is located in. The company has two divisions, and if the current page is anywhere in the 'division A' menus, I want to use one set of code, and if it's in 'division B' menus, I want to use another set.
I started looking into menu_get_active_trail(), but that doesnt appear to be returning useable data. Maybe I am trying to use it in the wrong context, as part of the page.tpl.php?
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
Rubric and Assignment Studio Modules Released!
I've been rambling / showing off aspects of these two modules for almost 1 and a 1/2 years now and FINALLY they have been completely rewritten in an open way. They are two separate modules though I'd recommend using them together as that's how they've been tested fully. They are currently being used during our active semester in 4 courses and so far results have been very positive. If you're looking to do online assessment with Drupal, this is a big component and I hope that I can integrate my solution with other projects discussed in this group.
Lot of sites to manage? Maybe this can help (or you can help with it)
UPDATE Network Manager has been released for 5 6 and 7.
I'm releasing a new module soon and wanted to get some feedback on a screencast that I did. It's a project called the Network Manager (http://drupal.org/project/network_manager) and it helps you manage / maintain your sites all from within one site (given permissions set correctly for mysql user).
Here are links to the screencast (Jing forces it to be in 5 minute segments) --

Part 2 - http://bit.ly/yR6Zy

Projector needed, STAT!
Hey all,
Unfortunately, Eric from the Brillobox just called to say their projector upstairs is on the fritz.
Does anyone have a projector they can bring with them tonight?

Presenting at the August Meetin?
Is anyone other than Thad interested in presenting at the August 19th meetup? I'm planning to present, so I'm thinking we could fit 2-3 more people. It's a bit far out now so you don't have to commit 100% yet, but it would be nice to have an idea of people's intentions ahead of time.
