Santa Cruz
The Santa Cruz Drupal User's Group is looking to connect Drupal users in and around Santa Cruz, California.
We have a budding tech community in Santa Cruz. One factor in our tech growth is the use of Drupal at several local web shops, start-ups, and organizations. Drupal use at UC Santa Cruz is also growing and it's time we all got together to share knowledge and learn from each other.

Looking for more Drupal help for a client of mine (Santa Cruz or Bay Area)
One of my clients is looking to hire a Drupal person. I don't want to be an employee, so I don't want the job ;) I'm not sure if it would be on-site but they are in San Jose. I do all my work remote for them and have never been to their building.
If you are interested, send me your resume directly and I'll forward it on. And, let me know if you can work on-site or only remote.
Thanks,
Kristen

Drupal.org Website Traffic Going Up and Up and Up
I've been getting tons of calls/emails about Drupal work in the last 6 months. I just did an alexa search today since I was curious what traffic has been like on drupal.org. It's gone through the roof over the last 6 months:
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/drupal.org
and based on this, drupal.org is now ranked in the top 1000 websites!
Note that joomla.org also saw the same pattern during that time period and has a higher rank that drupal.org.
It will be interesting how this plays out over the next year.
Go Drupal!

Camp/Conference formula for Drupal
With over 500 camp attendees and 60+ session proposals, us organizers of Drupal Camp LA needed a Drupal site that was built for organizers and attendees, with lessons learned from 3+ DrupalCons & 2+ DrupalCamps. Here is our formula for our awesome camp site.
"DrupalCampLA.com was built on Drupal 6 using core & contributed modules to handle event registration, sponsorship management, featured speakers, user bio's, and session proposals. The website features an attendee driven event schedule where members propose sessions and only registered members pick which sessions they'd like to see (in the BarCamp style). Planning the schedule for the day of events has been made flexible enough to allow organizers to maintain a master schedule with ease. Not to mention that all attendees get their own schedule view with the sessions they pick."
"The web site was based on the latest Drupal 6.x release and utilized many of the current generation modules such as CCK for content customization, imagefield and imagecache to handle imaging Views & custom theming built on Zen for content presentation." (A full list of the modules used is in the case study - http://drupal.org/node/519100 )
The download link is available in the case study post - http://drupal.org/node/519100 and has been made available by LA Drupal & This By Them.
Drupal and Facebook?
Hello Santa Cruz Drupal-iers,
I've had a request from a client to display the stream from a facebook group directly into a drupal site. I saw the facebook API module(s) which allows you to login to facebook and display your 'home' stream in a drupal site, but I wonder if it's possible to go directly to a groups page?
Has anyone worked with this before? I am relatively new to drupal but jumping right in!
I have a feeling that this particular request may end up a rats nest of technicalities, but I may as well explore the possibility.
Looking forward to group input on this!
