Tacoma
Need some Drupal camaraderie but don't feel like battling the I-5 herds? Never fear TacDug is here. Ok that cheesy but there are alot of open source techies in the south sound and some of them must be using Drupal. Lets get together to discuss projects, contributing modules, tips and tricks, or just share a cup of jo wrapped in the warm glow of our laptops.

When is the next Tacoma meetup?
I work at a Drupal-based startup in Seattle but live in Tacoma and am looking to meet-up with fellow Drupalers closer to home. Is there a regular meeting?
May I introduce...
Hello All,
I'm posting today for two reasons. The first is to introduce myself.
I've been a coder in the South Sound for about the last ten years. Most
of my work has been DB driven web sites/applications. I didn't start
working with Drupal until about two years ago. As my artsy self portrait
shows, I am also an amateur photographer.
The second reason is to brag a bit. My business partner Doug and I have
created a Drupal driven website aimed at racing sailors. You can see the
showcase article he wrote and/or visit

1st Birthday Party for my son John
We will be having an all you can eat bbq catered by Jaspers BBQ to celebrate my son's 1st Birthday, August 1st, eating around noon.
All are welcome but we do need an accurate count for the caterers. If interested in coming, send me a message (http://groups.drupal.org/user/10574) and I'll send more details and an RSVP link.

Remove HTML from webform results?
I have a webform with 2 select fields, and the values have some HTML in them to get a nifty hover effect, explaining more about the values.
But it sends the HTML with the form results, which isn't really what I want, and it's annoying for the person who actually uses the form results.
Anyone else going to drupalcon DC?
So March in DC can be pretty crisp, but it will be nice to get back to the east coast. Anyone else going?
BTW, there's no subway from Dulles Airport (IAD) to downtown, so cab or bus. Once inside the beltway the Metro is pretty good for getting around.

Multisite, single sign-on sans openID....any pointers?
I've got a client who is looking at having around 50 or so multisites, all different domains, but would like allow either a single sign on approach, i.e. signin once and automatically be authenticated across all the multisites, or have the same user/pwd but have to sign in, using that across sites, with shared profiles.
Any, semi secure way to do this without using OpenID?
I've taken a cursor look at this module, http://drupal.org/project/multisite_login, but we're on Drupal 6.
I've got the time/skillset to port it, but would prefer a proven solution over rolling my own.
thanks.

This month we're having a mini swap meeting. So bring your old crap, but only if you think it will be worth something to someone else. I'm bringing an old T40 and a writing tablet, and Palm Zire 31. list of potentials here...http://www.taclug.org/wiki/BOYD.
Were piggy backing on the Tacoma Linux Users Group. Potential topics here more info http://www.taclug.org/wiki/June2008#Potential_Topics.
xdebug
I finally got xdebug working in Quanta. I have been messing with this off and on since the last meeting. There is very little documentation for xdebug in quanta so I wasn't really even sure it would work. After much struggle it turns out that it does. For kubuntu the installation is really quite simple. If anyone else is using Quanta and would like more information let me know. Thanks kanani for the demonstration xdebug is very helpful.
CCK_Create_Install module
I am looking for some feedback on a module I created recently.
http://drupal.org/project/cck_create_install
On several sites lately I have used cck and views, and usually end up using the cck node types as special node types with supporting modules. The problem is that the cck export module doesn't seem to work very well so it is difficult moving the created cck / taxonomy stuff from the production site to the live site.
CCK_Create_Install solves the problem by generating install code for the cck content type and all of the referenced taxonomy.

Drupal Intro Session
As part of the Six Hour Startup SiteFinder Project, I will be giving an introduction to Drupal session in which i will talk about how to use views, panels, cck, taxonomy as well as finding and evaluating other modules.
The session will precede Robin's Module Development session and take place at SODO Saturday House
Six Hour Startup: SiteFinder
The next Six Hour Startup project is nearly here and it's looking great!!! It's called Project SiteFinder and we want you there! Come and be a part of building a fantastic tool that will help the local startup community (and perhaps beyond!) grow and expand. Also get a chance to learn and work with the cool open source content management system "Drupal" with some of the leading experts.
Pleasant Greetings
Pleasant greetings fellow Taco-mans ...
I just discovered this group this morning from the post on the Seattle group. Like the intro says ... I hate "battling the I-5 herds" , so haven't made it to any Drupal meetings since DrupalCon in Portland in 2005 (or was it 2004).

Any Drupal Rockstars in the House?
I met Chris Pirillo at Startup Weekend a while back. Pretty cool guy, He's looking for some "above excellent" drupal folks to help out on a VERY interesting project.
The project description should be on his blog shortly, if you can't wait, send him an email chris@pirillo.com
