South Dakota

Hi South Dakota! We would love to have you attend Dallas Drupal Days, July 8 - 9, UT Dallas campus, School of Management.

Organized for the third year by the Dallas Drupal Users Group, Dallas Drupal Days is a two day, community-centered event for learning, teaching and sharing Drupal.

Each day will feature a keynote speaker followed by three tracks of sessions all day. Breakfast and lunch are included in the nominal registration fee. Come to both days for $70, or just the Saturday Drupal Camp for $35.

For those that may not be paying attention...there is at least one Drupal 7 Release Party taking place. I won't be able to attend, but let's spread the word for those that are able to attend:

Just wanted to mention that Kalliki Software is a company that focuses on building Drupal websites. We're based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We actually just released our new website (http://kalliki.com/) which is significantly improved from our old website. A few quirks left but we're close. We happened to make this entire theme fully standards complaint.

I love how people rant that Drupal produces code that is not W3C compliant but in reality it does a very good job of that in its core.

Anyway, the point is that we're a group of Drupal guys and gals in South Dakota.

I would like to talk to area folks in the Sioux Falls area about the possibility of doing some web development with drupal. I can provide the marketing strategy, graphic design and copy, but need the back end help and most of my clients want a CMS. I have some friends who have used wordpress and would also like someone that has worked in both so I can position drupal as the superior tool because it has greater technical capability.

If there are people interested in this, or if anyone knows of anyone, please drop me an email at larry@findabilitymarketing.com.

Any Drupal fans from the Sioux Falls area open to a road trip to Omaha, NE for their October Drupal meeting? The meeting is on Tuesday, Oct 20 and begins at 6:30 PM. http://groups.drupal.org/node/26936

Here is the description:

Designs, plans, and coordinates work teams. Follows standard project management industry practices such as the PMI's framework. Understands business and technical objectives of a project and works closely with project sponsor. Creates project charter and work plan and tracks budget and schedule progress via appropriate metrics. Establishes project organization and methodologies and defines roles and responsibilities. Documents risks and develops mitigation plans. Manages scope.

Thanks to those who responded with some interest in a South Dakota Drupal user group. I'm curious how many would be interested in an actual meetup? I'd like to suggest for the first meetup to be in Sioux Falls, but I'm sure we are all open to other locations in South Dakota.

So anybody have any ideas on location or topic for a first meetup? With numbers likely to be small for a first meetup, this doesn't have to be anything formal. Let's throw some ideas around...
